Why do you lose more the smaller your capital is?

Because you simply can’t afford to wait!

Someone has 10 million in their account. If they catch a market move and gain 10%, that’s 1 million. But you only have a few thousand U—no matter how much it rises, even if it goes up 10 times, that’s only a few tens of thousands of U, which still can’t fill the hole in your life!

So you end up trading frantically—every day looking for opportunities, going long and short at every moment. In the end, the more you trade, the more you lose.

You’re mistaken in thinking that trading is like a job—making money every day so you can keep going.

But in reality, mid-to-long-term trend trading often isn’t about winning every day. It’s a battle fought once every three years: one battle lasts three years. When the trend arrives, go all out. When the tide recedes, stay in cash and “practice your craft.”

A gentleman keeps his tools within himself and acts only when the timing is right.

Poverty driven by impatience is as hard to cure as a terminal illness. Only by changing your mindset can you turn your fate around.
