Day Ninety-Two · Slow Is Fast

I used to always want to go fast.
Quick in, quick out—doing a dozen or so orders in a day. I thought that a high frequency means more opportunities. Later, I calculated it: trading fees take a big chunk, and emotional wear and tear also takes a big chunk. After a year of busyness, my account didn’t move much, but I ended up aging by several years.
Then I learned to be smarter.
Put one order in and wait. It’s not that you do nothing—what you do is just not to rush for results afterward. Like farming: you sow the seeds, and you can’t dig them up every day to check. Water, fertilize, weed, and then wait. Sow in spring, harvest in autumn. Rushing doesn’t help.
Trading is the same. After you analyze and place the order, you set your stop-loss and take-profit—then all that’s left is to wait. Wait for the market to move into your logic, wait for the trend to validate your judgment. If it doesn’t come, no matter how much you催, it won’t help; if it does come, you can’t block it.
I’ve seen many people: the order sits with no movement for two days, they get anxious and close it. Then, the third day after they close it, it takes off. It’s not that the analysis was wrong—it’s that there wasn’t enough patience.#WCTC交易王PK
