In the market, many traders often fall into the illusory clarity created by "greed, anger, and ignorance," becoming puppets pulled by the invisible threads of surface prices.
Their minds swing violently with the rise and fall, emotions overstep and dominate decision-making, rooted in a lack of understanding of market operation laws and reaction logic, as well as a complete absence of a rigorous trading system. What replaces the basis for decision-making is merely subjective likes and dislikes and a blind pursuit of petty gains.
This shallow understanding and systemic vacuum will inevitably hatch out of control behavior and dismal results—frequently entering the market "too impatiently," "not holding" profitable positions, "not stopping losses" and allowing losses to run, and "randomly taking profits" which misses potential, forming a tragic cycle that repeats itself. Even more tragic is that every key decision is completely dominated by the fleeting mood and state at the time!
In contrast, mature traders are grounded in a profound understanding and respect for the essence of the market.
They build and adhere to a precise trading system, taming the wild horses of emotion with rules, replacing arbitrary impulses with plans. The core of its decision-making is risk control and probability advantage, rather than the temptation or fear of immediate fluctuations.
They understand the value of patiently waiting for high-probability opportunities, possess the discipline to let profits run while holding positions, and have the resolve to cut losses strictly.
Ultimately, what they pursue is stable profits through consistent execution over a long period, which is essentially a financial alchemy that pits reason and discipline against human instincts and market noise.
