In the financial markets, the essence of trading lies not in frequent operations but in the art of patiently waiting for the best opportunity. Experienced traders have a deep understanding of market dynamics; even when they seem to be inactive, they have their own calculations in mind.



The market is always filled with various noises, but it is often the few key trades that truly affect profit and loss. These trades may only account for 5% of the total, yet they can leverage 95% of the profits. Therefore, staying calm and composed is not a passive observation, but rather a highly strategic wisdom.

In the trading world, 'waiting for a hare by the stump' has become a top strategy. The market changes rapidly, and beginners are often led by the market, running around in a frenzy, ultimately exhausted. Chasing up today and killing down tomorrow seems busy, but in reality, it becomes a puppet of the market. In contrast, smart traders will set their goals in advance, familiarize themselves with the rhythm and characteristics, patiently wait for the best timing, and act decisively.

Although we may not be able to outsmart the market, we can build a trading system that suits us. Clearly define rules and goals, maintain patience when waiting, and act decisively when it's time to take action, executing each step quickly, accurately, and steadily.

Excellent traders can keenly capture small changes in the market while also maintaining a comprehensive control over the overall situation. Whether in profit or loss, they can maintain psychological balance. Because regardless of personal gains or losses, the market never stops.

The ability to balance patience with decisiveness, sharpness with calmness is the essence of trading. It is not only applicable to financial markets but also an important wisdom when facing various challenges in life.

Sounds logical, but it has already gone bankrupt three times.

A series of operations as fierce as a tiger, looking back and realizing a loss of five.
