Actually, many people have a habit:

Once they decide on a direction, they can’t wait to enter immediately, afraid they’ll miss the move.

When the market rises, they fear being left behind and rush to chase it; when it falls, they fear missing a shorting opportunity and hurry to open a position.

They overlook one thing:

Judging the direction is one thing; choosing an entry point is another.

I’ve always felt that the greatest value of placing limit orders in trading isn’t guaranteeing execution, but having the ability to choose proactively.

You can plan your entry point, stop-loss range, and position size in advance, instead of watching the price fluctuate and then being led by market sentiment.

Many people dislike placing limit orders because they feel the price they set is too ideal and the market will never reach it.

But I think if the market doesn’t reach it, so be it; an unfilled order doesn’t lose money.

Many people keep lowering their entry standards to participate in a market move, eventually turning from proactive traders into passive chasers.

But limit orders aren’t a cure-all. The price reaching your level doesn’t mean your judgment was correct, and you may still get stopped out after the order is filled.

But at least you’re trading according to a plan made in advance, rather than being driven by emotions in the moment.

I have one habit when I trade:

I don’t trade at levels I don’t understand, and I don’t chase prices that haven’t reached my expectations.

The market moves every day, and opportunities don’t come only once.

Missing one trade means, at most, missing out on one profit; damaging your trading discipline out of fear of missing a market move may cost you much more.#每周来晒
