Day Ninety-Four · When you don't want to win, you start winning instead


In the past, every time I placed an order, I held a strong urge: I must win this round.
Technical analysis was done three times, news checked twice, and position sizing was just right.
I felt everything was ready, only waiting for the right moment. But the right moment didn't come; instead, a tornado arrived.
The more I wanted to win, the more nervous I became; the more nervous, the more my actions distorted.
What I should hold onto, I couldn't hold; what I should cut, I couldn't bring myself to do.
Then one day, I tried not to want to win.
Just follow the plan, analyze, place the order, set stop-loss, close the software.
Don't think about how much profit this could make, don't think about what if I lose.
Just do it, then wait.
That trade ended up profitable.
Not very big, but very steady.
No heartbeat racing, no sleepless nights.
Like finishing homework and handing it in, the teacher just gives a checkmark.
I finally understood: the desire to win can distort your actions.
Not wanting to win, paradoxically, helps you do the right things.
If your actions are correct, winning is only a matter of time.
Just like shooting hoops, staring at the basket often results in misses.
Take a glance, shoot, don’t think.
The ball will find its way on its own. #WCTC交易王PK
