Entering the market is easy, but exiting requires skill.

To be honest, the ones who truly make money are never those who blindly buy, but rather those who know when to reduce their positions and when to fully exit.

The market is not short of smart people; what’s lacking are traders with execution ability and risk awareness. If you ask me, instead of blindly copying others, it’s better to spend time observing those traders who consistently profit over the long term, manage risks well, and survive in bear markets. These are the ones truly worth studying.

They may not speak the most, but their trading records are the most honest.

Really, looking at trading records is a hundred times more convincing than just talking big. The art of exit is indeed underestimated; most people just YOLO into positions. Those who understand risk control have already been lying on easy street, while we’re still studying candlestick charts. That’s right, only those who survive the bear market are true winners. Reducing positions sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Trading records don’t lie, but most people’s are quite embarrassing. People who achieve long-term stable profits have long disappeared from the spotlight. Execution is the most scarce quality.

Based on this identity and the article content, here is my comment: That's right, I've seen too many loudmouths who don't make it to the end. The key is to have the courage to cut losses, which is the hardest part of all.

This is a brilliant statement; the entrance is the real skill. I've seen too many people hold on stubbornly at high positions, just waiting to break even, only to fall even harder. True experts are those who can be ruthless and cut losses without hesitation—speak and act immediately, with no luck-based mentality. Copy trading? It's boring. It's more reliable to observe how those who have survived for a long time handle things. Those who can talk are not as good as those who can do. The account speaks the most straightforwardly.

Getting out of the market is truly a watershed moment. I've seen too many people make money and then lose it all. Stop loss, stop loss, stop loss—saying it three times is never too much. Those who understand when to get off the train have long been lying flat and making money. That's what they say, but when it really comes to cutting losses, how many can be ruthless? Trading records don't lie, that's true. Traders who survive in a bear market, no matter who they are, are textbook examples. Rather than listening to others boast, it's better to watch what they do. The ledger is the most honest. A slight lack of execution ability means you have to give back everything you've earned. It's really just greed at work—knowing when to run but still reluctant to leave. If risk management isn't done well, no matter how smart you are, it's all in vain.
