If you don't come across something you particularly like while shopping and feel compelled to buy something just because you think "I've come all this way," the product will most likely end up gathering dust at home.
Investment is the same. Trades that do not align with one’s own trading system, are not well understood, or are made out of boredom or pressure, even if they yield temporary profits, will consume psychological energy, create hidden dangers, and often lead to poor outcomes, with a painful process.
The hidden danger here is not that you lost money or time due to this forced trade, but that it has harmed your structure.
Every transaction is part of your whole, and trading randomly will affect your habits and structure. We must cultivate the habit of taking every transaction seriously, just as we must treat our friends and relationships.
The vast majority of people in the world cannot endure actions that lack dopamine stimulation feedback. Just like being blinded by the pursuit of novelty in emotions and missing true love, the weakness of human nature is the pursuit of instant feedback, aversion to boredom, and fear of missing out.
Overcoming this nature is the watershed between happiness in life and becoming a loser. It is impossible to completely overcome, but you can learn to say no to those forced and boring trades and choices.
Those who aim to achieve great things must cherish their own well-being; if they focus on small profits, they will not accomplish great matters.
Like life, the market changes can be categorized into orderly and random.
Consistent ordered fluctuations: For example, the market environment a few weeks ago exhibited relatively clear, identifiable, and logically consistent directional fluctuations with certain persistence under specific conditions (such as fundamental drives, major cyclical trends, and key event catalysts).
The random fluctuations of disappearing consistency: For example, in the current market environment, the market is filled with noise, short-term emotions, and unpredictable fluctuations before key decisions. You must learn to distinguish between these two types of fluctuations before investing your energy.
Many people do not realize that the "experience" accumulated in random fluctuations is often scars and erroneous cognitive patterns, which are "harmful and unhelpful" experiences. Tempted by small profits in the market's random fluctuations, frequent trading depletes capital, energy, attention, and trading opportunities, leaving one unable to seize real big opportunities when they arise or already battered.
When a truly significant event (ordered fluctuations, high certainty) arrives, one may hesitate to make a heavy bet and miss a good opportunity due to fear (fear of drawdowns, fear of failure), indecision (over-analysis leading to deviation), or lack of preparation (capital, psychological). This is "Small gains lead to big failures."
How to establish strategic determination, distinguish between "small profits" (random fluctuations) and "big matters" (ordered fluctuations), and have the courage and capital to go all out at critical moments?
My answer is to take every transaction seriously from now on.
Good results start with a good beginning, and require serious habits.
Be patient and recognize and seize those truly important and "certain" opportunities, while treating yourself well and maintaining inner peace and strength.
The way of trading is also the way of cultivating the mind.
On the road to profitability, the deepest chasms are often not market fluctuations, but rather the inner turmoil and self-criticism.
True certainty does not lie in the candlestick chart, but in whether you can guard the silence within your heart amidst the noise, discern the order in the chaos, and grant yourself the same patience and tolerance in every decision as you would extend to others.
Silence is not a void, but a space that allows opportunities to emerge; Waiting is not stagnation, but a process of building up strength.
The chaos of the market will eventually yield to the order within, and profit is merely a byproduct of reconciling with oneself.
I hope you can understand the current environment.
