To be honest, I should have covered a lot of foundational courses before discussing this, but going straight into it isn't a problem—first getting an overall sense, then slowly tackling the details is also a way of learning. I wish everyone’s long orders To da moon, short orders precise, and may you achieve financial freedom soon!
**What exactly is a trading system? Why is it so crucial?**
In simple terms, a trading system is your entire set of trading logic - where to enter, how to exit, and how to proceed at each step, it must be methodical. Some prefer to execute in four stages: A, B, C, D, while others like a three-step approach; the methods vary from person to person. It's best to write your own "operating manual" to clearly document the judgment criteria and execution timing for each decision point.
The key point is this: this thing must be your own. Even if everyone learns the same set of theories—whether it's Chan theory or wave theory—how to understand and use them depends entirely on personal insight. In the end, what you can take away will definitely be the set of things that best suits your personality and rhythm.
**What does a good system look like? Why can’t most people create one?**
A truly reliable trading system sounds quite "counterintuitive": you need to restrain greed and fear, don't hesitate when it's time to take action, hold back the impulse when it's not the right time, and strictly follow the plan.
As an ordinary person easily swayed by emotions, maintaining discipline in a market filled with emotional turmoil is quite challenging. Not to mention developing a mature system — that requires going through countless losses, trial and error, and reviews to gradually find the way.
A good system is not about competing with big players in a money gamble, but about helping you seize those low-risk, high-odds, repeatable certainty opportunities. It relies not on luck, but on probability.

What the system really boils down to is self-discipline; most people fail due to their emotions.

These days, who hasn't trapped their own system? The problem is, how many can actually stick with it... They promised to restrain their greed, but when the market moves, their hands start shaking. I see that most people fail right here.

You're right, systems have to be figured out on your own; copying others is bound to end in failure.

Wealth freedom and long orders to the moon, it makes me numb just hearing it, haha.
---
Restrain greed and fear? My hands are shaking when I enter the market; who cares about systems at that point.
---
How come I've never caught such low-risk, high-reward opportunities?
---
Isn't it true that most people can't stick to their own systems at all? They lose interest after three days.

The theory of waves in the Chaotic Theory is all just illusions; in the end, it still depends on luck and capital.

No matter how detailed the operation manual is, it doesn't matter; when the critical moment comes, emotions will still take over the brain.

Sounds good, but I still think that most people end up getting killed by their own greed; no matter how good the system is, it's all useless.

You're not wrong, this system really needs to be figured out on your own; copying others is a dead end.
That's how the system works, in the end, it still depends on who can control their own hands.
To be honest, most people fail because of their emotions and can't hold on.
Low risk high reward sounds simple, but it's actually difficult to operate and get liquidated.
Self-discipline is truly the most valuable thing in trading, better than any indicator.
