Why is trading considered a practice?
1. The complexity and variability of the market require us to extract a simple core from the complicated.
In the face of an uncertain market, we need to find a clear direction; this is the essence of trading.
2. The path of trading is filled with various traps. Only through practical operation can one truly hone oneself. Experiencing processes such as going against the trend, holding onto positions forcefully, liquidation, and rebounds will lead to profound insights.
3. Trading requires overcoming multiple challenges. Techniques, systems, capital management, emotional control, psychological quality, alignment of knowledge and action... these checkpoints must be overcome one by one; otherwise, one cannot progress steadily in the market.
4. Trading means making choices.
You cannot seize every opportunity; you will definitely miss many trades.
The most important thing is to stay focused, choose areas you are familiar with, and benefit from them. Like the weak water flowing three thousand, only take a scoop.
5. Maintaining consistency in execution is the hardest part. Consistent execution in trading often encounters interference from a gambling mentality, and a lack of sufficient inner strength makes it difficult to be firm and rational.
Trading reflects the trader's mindset, emotions such as greed, fear, obsession, and regret. Only by cultivating and nurturing from deep within can one break through their limitations, find their true self, ultimately emerge from the confusion of trading, and move towards maturity.
