Short cycles earn more, but they are also more difficult, so you need to choose based on your own strength. If you like to do short cycles (short-term), you must understand some concepts: price slippage, high-frequency kills, on-site traders working hard to trigger stop losses, price priority, time priority, position closing priority, etc. The key is whether your strategy can withstand them. This is the roadblock of short cycles and is precisely the lubricant for long cycles.

Almost all failing traders switch methods, switch varieties, and switch operating cycles. Because human nature does not change, the laws of market fluctuations have not changed for hundreds of years. Just follow a verified and feasible method; risks usually come from random operations.
There is no need to emphasize "execution power, mindset" too much; what is essentially lacking is not execution power, but how to execute (lack of operational rules). With rules, it's much better; do it when it's in place, and don't do it when it's not.
⚽
Without paying enough tuition to the market, these rules cannot be learned. How long it takes to learn depends on understanding and discipline. There are no masters in the world, they just have a grasp of probabilistic advantages; there is no instinct for the market, it's just dynamic categorization of trends.
The essence of making money is not in precise buying and selling, but in reasonable positions, and then waiting. A reasonable position is based on probabilistic advantages; everything is about probabilistic advantages.

Finding reasons to go long + finding reasons to go short = stable losses. Long and short do not need reasons; just place orders based on the chart. People often subjectively want to go long or short and then find reasons to support their views. Only by letting go of subjectivity and following the market's arrangements can one walk on the path to success.
