Most retail investors can only benefit from the money provided by upward trends;
Many traders only profit from sideways markets, which is a choice made after recognizing their comfort zone;
A very small number of experts leverage during trends and even use greater leverage during sideways markets; this is the result of confidence in their trading skills and the ability to act freely.
Which one are you? What direction are you striving for? Do you have this talent? Continuously try, review, summarize, and then look back at yourself.
Is it feasible? Is it suitable? If not, you must recognize it; recognizing it is true wisdom. Poor trading skills and not making money are two different matters because having patience is an even more remarkable ability.
