Overcoming the psychological barrier is the only way to have a chance to earn stable money.
When you first enter the market, many people think trading is very simple. But after experiencing several cycles, you'll realize—what truly determines how far you go is not technical indicators, but your ability to manage your emotions and your discipline in execution.
To survive in the market for a long time, it's not luck that matters, but countless choices made in opposition to human instincts.
**Emotions are the easiest to betray you.** When the market rises sharply, the screen is full of bullish voices, and impulsively chasing the rally becomes a natural reaction; once it drops, panic spreads quickly, and cutting losses becomes instinctive. I've paid this tuition, and you probably have too.
**Full position equals handing your mind over to the market.** When your position size is large, your judgment starts to go awry. Opportunities are always there; the question is whether you still have bullets to wait.
**If you can't see clearly, don't move.** High-level oscillations may be bait from the bulls, and sideways movement at low levels may continue to probe lower. Using guesses to push the direction is a classic trap for beginners. Instead of betting on the direction, wait for the market to speak for itself.
**The most painful thing is that money is often lost not in trends, but worn away in sideways consolidation.** Frequently entering and exiting during choppiness seems like operation, but in reality, you're being repeatedly educated by the market.
**Be brave to buy in parts during declines, and also brave to sell in parts during rises.** Rapid daily declines can be gradually accumulated, and when a big bullish candle appears, don't be reluctant about profits. This logic isn't complicated, but it's effective.
**Don't just watch the price; pay attention to the speed of the decline.** Slow declines often lack rebound momentum, while rapid drops can trigger a recovery. Often, the speed of the fall is more worth paying attention to than the position itself.
**Building a position is like paving a road, step by step.** Leave yourself room and options; don't push yourself into a dead end all at once.
**Sideways isn't the answer; a breakout is.** Emotional trading during consolidation usually results in losses. Wait until the trend is truly clear before following the momentum.
Ultimately, trading is a contest with yourself. The principle is simple; the difficulty lies in executing it consistently over the long term. Giving up the illusion of overnight riches and pursuing stable, repeatable returns is the only way to truly survive in this market.
