The way of trading is akin to what is described in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu as "the way of heaven, earth, general, and law", where "the way" occupies the primary position.
In the realm of trading, "the way" refers to the direction of trends. "Heaven" represents timing, which is the current market environment and opportunity. "Earth" pertains to geographical advantages, meaning the specific position of the market. "General" symbolizes your mentor, or that guiding teacher who leads you. "Law" involves specific trading methods and strategies.
These elements have their own order and logic, and the foremost task is to comprehend the true meaning of "the way", which is to recognize and align with market trends.
