Trading Opportunities: Wait or Seek?
1. Waiting is passive, seeking is active. Waiting for trading opportunities allows them to present themselves, and we merely wait passively; seeking trading chances means actively searching in the market.
2. To wait is like casting a net and waiting, to seek is like spreading a net to catch. Therefore, waiting relies on "objective" market conditions, using whatever net to catch whatever fish; seeking depends on "subjective" market views, casting the net based on the fish seen.
3. Waiting results in fewer trades, seeking results in more frequent trades. When waiting for trading opportunities, if none appear, it remains quiet, hence fewer occurrences; seeking involves frequently casting nets, resulting in more trades.
4. Waiting is more precise, seeking is somewhat blind. Waiting is "no hawk without a rabbit," seeking is "strike at the slightest movement," precision varies, yet waiting can easily miss opportunities.
Both have their similarities and differences; traders must choose their approach based on having a "net."
