Many people engage in trading, always thinking "faster," "more," or "more aggressive," but the result is often losing control of their positions and emotions. Those who truly make stable profits tend to do so very slowly: slow entry, slow position scaling, slow profit-taking. They only take action when the structure is complete, risks are released, and the win rate is clear; during other times, they prefer to stay in cash.

The primary goal of trading is not to make money, but to survive.
Only by surviving do you qualify for the next opportunity;
Only by protecting your principal do you deserve a big market move.
Short-term trading tests discipline,
Swing trading tests patience,
Long-term trading tests cognition.

Be a trader with a system, risk control, and rhythm, so you can avoid detours, pay fewer tuition fees, and turn uncertainty into manageable probabilities.
