I made tens of thousands of trades before I understood this: the essence of trading is that, at key levels, you add a stop loss and take a shot.

Seriously, trading is that simple.

Even for intraday trading, good opportunities really only come around three times. Considering the opening times of the Asia session, the Europe session, and the US session, the market moves fast—there can’t be even a moment of hesitation. When that time comes, when that level appears, enter immediately as soon as the opportunity shows up. If it’s right, wait patiently; if it’s wrong, cut it immediately.

When you get to the end, you’ll realize the market isn’t that complicated—what’s complicated is your own mind.
