Is your holding mindset good or bad? It directly determines whether you can hold onto significant profits.

Many people don't lack the ability to enter the market; they lack the ability to hold onto profits. They clearly choose the right direction but exit early due to minor fluctuations, missing out on a large portion of the subsequent trend. The root cause is poor holding mentality—becoming anxious with floating gains and fearful during pullbacks. Those who truly make big money possess extremely strong patience in holding positions. They understand the trend, can withstand fluctuations, and distinguish between shakeouts and reversals. As long as the trend remains intact and stop-losses are not triggered, they hold firmly and are not disturbed by short-term volatility.

A holding mindset is not innate; it is supported by position sizing and trading cognition. With a lighter position, the mindset is naturally more stable; with a stable mindset, you can hold onto major trends. Learning to maintain a steady holding mentality allows you to upgrade from “small gains and small losses” to “big gains and small losses,” achieving a true breakthrough in profitability.
