In the financial markets, the fundamental reason many people incur losses is not greed, but rather an unrealistic notion—attempting to control the direction of the market.

Many investors believe that thorough research and analysis can help avoid all risks. However, market risk is essentially unpredictable. They strive to develop precise strategies to capture market bottoms, yet overlook that the core of investing lies in understanding and applying the principles of probability.

The moment you are obsessed with completely controlling market trends, you are actually on the path to failure. True investment experts do not seek precise predictions of the market, but rather find robust and reliable investment methods in an environment full of uncertainty.

A successful investment strategy should be based on accepting the uncontrollability of the market. It requires us to let go of the pursuit of absolute certainty and instead focus on how to seize high-probability opportunities amidst volatility, and how to build investment portfolios that can withstand market tests.

Give up the illusion of control and embrace the uncertainty of the market; this may be the most important lesson for investors to learn. Only by accepting and adapting to the complexity of the market can we progress further and more steadily on the path of investment.
