The longer you stay in the trading market, the more you understand one truth: there is never an idealized optimal solution in the market. The suboptimal choice that can actually be implemented is the truly optimal answer in long-term trading.



Over the years, the biggest change in my mindset has been letting go of the obsession with perfect entry points and instead embracing the suboptimal opportunities within the framework of my trading system.

In the past, when reviewing historical K-line charts, I couldn't help but feel regret: I should have held this trade to the end, and I should have entered that one earlier to profit. Obsessing over finding perfect entry and exit points in the rearview mirror, but when faced with real-time charts, it was impossible to replicate every time.

Gradually, I came to understand that the so-called "no brilliant moves across the board" is never a trader's self-deprecation, but the most naked reality of the market.

The perfect levels seen in hindsight are frozen in past charts, and the ever-changing real-time market can never be precisely captured; suboptimal opportunities screened by trading rules can be repeatedly executed, while elusive extreme levels have no replicability.

Obsessing over perfect entries and exits often leads to consecutive missed moves or forcing positions into large losses.

Now, with entries, stop-losses, and take-profits strictly adhering to the established system, I no longer seek extreme profits on a single trade, but have found inner peace. Looking back over a longer cycle, returns actually far exceed the period of constant hesitation and repeated tinkering.

Letting go of the obsession with perfect trades is the most counterintuitive yet essential lesson on the trading path. $BTC #美国比特币ETF净流入4026枚BTC
