Trading is the dividing line between profit and loss. Frankly, it’s not about technical skills; it’s about whether you can control that restless heart of yours.

Look at the people around you who are losing money—most of them are pretty good at reading the market, but they’re too eager to turn things around quickly. When a rebound happens, they chase the high; when they’re deeply trapped, they fantasize about a quick recovery. They stubbornly hold onto losing positions, expecting to break even, and end up turning small losses into big pits.

I used to be like that too. Staring at candlestick charts every day, making moves at the slightest price fluctuation, thinking I was diligent. But my account was full of scars, and I became more and more anxious.

Later, I figured out a few simple but effective rules.

**First, don’t act without a clear signal.** If you miss the trend, so be it. Random trading is the real drain; in the end, it’s all your own effort wasted.

**Second, don’t trade during the most chaotic moments.** When news just breaks, I usually don’t look at the charts. Let the trend stabilize first, then make a judgment. It’s much more reassuring.

**Third, abandon trades with conflicting signals.** If even you are wavering, then this trade is probably not worth taking.

**Fourth, always consider the worst-case scenario first.** If you have time, follow the progress slowly; if not, set your stop-loss in advance. Don’t give yourself the chance to fight blindly.

**Fifth, don’t touch unfamiliar assets even if they seem profitable.** Complex assets aren’t necessarily opportunities; often, they’re just more traps.

Stick to these principles for a while, and you’ll notice the biggest change in your account isn’t how fast you make money, but that your volatility finally becomes less intense. Fewer mistakes mean a steadier life, and in the long run, opportunities will naturally come to you.

Don’t rush blindly; surviving longer is what a true winner looks like. #美联储回购协议计划 $ZBT
