The essence of trading is "waiting, staying in cash." Keep waiting, stay in cash. Infinite waiting, infinite staying in cash. Staying in cash is the highest-level trading strategy. Staying in cash is to wait until the point you see clearly arrives, then enter. When the target profit position is reached, exit; when the target loss position is hit, close the position! Be clear about where you enter each trade, take profit, and stop loss. Then repeat the above steps!

Waiting is not really waiting for the market; it’s waiting for yourself—to wait until your impulsiveness passes, to wait until your emotions stabilize. Don’t be restless because of market fluctuations, nor be anxious or frustrated because you missed an opportunity. Objectively examine your trading motives. Those who can control themselves are more important than market points. As long as you have even once held on, locked in a position, or blown up your account, it shows you treat this market like a casino. You are also a gambler, so there’s no need to learn or improve yourself. For a gambler, it’s just a waste of time. It’s only a matter of when your capital will be wiped out and you’re forced to exit.

The futures market is about understanding your best position. Futures are like a magnifying glass, amplifying human nature infinitely. Your greed will be magnified by leverage, and your fear will be exposed in the volatility. The futures market itself doesn’t speak, but it gives the fairest feedback on your true self...

Trade your plan, plan your trade.
