How to understand that expert trading is about subtraction
Trading subtraction means actively giving up. Being greedy and wanting everything won't work; focus on the most certain actions.
It's like fighting:
1. Do less, as 90% of market movements are garbage. Control your hands and only wait for opportunities you are most familiar with (like only trading breakouts or pullbacks). The fewer times you trade, the fewer mistakes you make.
2. Look less, turn off unnecessary indicators, mute group chats and rumors. With less noise, you can see the essence clearly.
3. Think less, don't fantasize. Even if you earn a bit more, it might help you recover. Cut losses when they hit, take profits when they are reached, and mechanically execute for peace of mind.
The essence of an expert is not how skilled they are technically, but their ability to eliminate fancy moves. Just like a sniper waiting for 3 days to pull the trigger once.
