The essence of trading is: waiting ~
Brothers, take a look. The most powerful investment experts in the world are called financial crocodiles. Why aren't they called financial tigers, lions, or sharks? Why are they called financial crocodiles?
Because lions and tigers have strong combat power on land, but they consume stamina when running and hunting, and they can get injured when facing strong enemies.
Crocodiles are patient, intelligent, and cold-blooded. They strategically ambush and wait for days or weeks at a water source. If successful, they swallow their prey whole; if they fail, they immediately retreat back into the water (high yield, low risk).
Crocodiles seem to have short legs, but they can actually run faster than humans on land. However, crocodiles give up on land hunting, which they are not good at (because it consumes energy and carries risks), and focus on waiting in the water. Traders should be like crocodiles and only do what they are good at to ensure they survive long like crocodiles (crocodiles have survived for two hundred million years since the age of dinosaurs).
Its hunting method seems passive, but it is the most effective. It captures prey with minimal energy consumption, seeking to gain the maximum profit at the lowest cost, which is where great financiers and crocodiles are similar.
