Last time I drank and bragged with an old-timer who’s been in the game for over ten years.

This guy, after a few rounds of bull and bear markets, his account numbers are beyond what we can imagine.
I thought he’d give me some secret tricks or draw K-lines like flying, but the first thing he said left me speechless:
The vast majority of people lose money, it’s really not because they don’t understand the charts, but because they can’t control those damn hands!
$RE
We talked all night, and I found that his words were full of “nutritional” truths.
He said many people panic as soon as prices rise, afraid of missing out on a billion.
When they actually jump in, it’s often when emotions are hottest and the main players are ready to dump.
Prices go up, afraid of missing the boat; prices go down, afraid of hitting zero; tossing back and forth, money’s gone.
$BTW
There’s also a group of people who are especially obsessed with “bottom fishing.”
They think a 20% drop is a golden pit, a 40% drop is giving away money, and a 60% drop means going all-in.
But the most frustrating thing about the market is: what you think is the bottom, there’s still a basement below, and under that basement, there are eighteen levels of hell.
He said that the most stable profits he’s made over the years were actually when he traded the least.
Market unclear? Wait.
Trend not clear? Watch.
Range-bound and annoying? Stare blankly.
Better to miss out than to make mistakes.
Because many losses aren’t due to wrong direction, but because of trading for the sake of trading, giving away fees and stop-loss points to the market.
Thinking back, isn’t it like this:
Chase the high once, lose a bit.
Copy the bottom once, lose a bit.
Hold the position once, lose a bit more.
Not fatal each time, but after many times, the account naturally dries up.
$BICO
This thing in the market has never really changed; what changes is people’s hearts.
Some are always looking for the “Holy Grail,” changing indicators, strategies, teachers, like headless flies;
Some focus on one thing — controlling emotions, executing discipline.
In the end, those who survive are often not the smartest, but the ones who can hold back the longest.
If you’ve been buying just as prices drop or selling just as prices rise, don’t blame the market makers targeting you.
Many times, it’s not the market that’s the problem, but your rhythm being led astray by the market.
