This market is not about who has better technology, but about who can control their own hands.

I have seen too many people lose money, not because they don't understand the market, but purely because they are too impatient. They see a rebound and want to chase in, and once they are floating with a loss, they fantasize about recovering it. Even when they know the direction is wrong, they want to hold on a little longer. In the end, a small loss is dragged into a big pit.

I have also been through it. Back then, I watched the market every day, wanting to act at every price fluctuation. I thought I was working hard, but my account became more and more chaotic, and my mindset kept collapsing. Later, I reflected and set a few simple and straightforward principles for myself.

**First, if there are no clear entry conditions, do not act**. Missing the market is not scary; reckless operations are the real drain.

**Second, when the news just breaks out, I basically don’t look at it**. At that time, the market was most chaotic. I usually wait until the trend stabilizes before making judgments, which makes my mindset much better.

**Third, if even I am hesitating, this trade is probably not worth doing**. As long as the signals are inconsistent, just give up.

**Fourth, think through the worst-case scenario first**. If you can monitor the market, follow it gradually; if you can’t watch all the time, set stop-loss orders in advance. Never give yourself the chance to hard-hold.

**Fifth, don’t touch things you don’t understand**. Complexity doesn’t necessarily mean opportunity; often, it’s a trap.

After sticking to these principles for a while, you will find that the biggest progress in your account is not earning faster, but reducing volatility. You will also become less panicked. Fewer mistakes, longer survival—then the profits will naturally belong to you.

Un disciplined rushing and fighting will eventually lead to a crash. Those who truly succeed steadily always put risk control first.
