Don't remind me again today

After playing with ETH for these years, I have come to understand one thing: relying solely on luck to make a fortune in the market is not enough.



Where is the key? Two words - profit and loss ratio, plus win rate.

Many people pursue a high win rate, winning nine out of ten trades, which sounds great. But if you earn a little each time but lose a big amount once, in the end, it's all for nothing. The reverse is also true; even with a high profit-loss ratio, if you lose every time, you won't be able to continue.

Real profits come from raising both of these indicators simultaneously. Find opportunities where the risk is controllable and the potential returns are high, and then improve the accuracy of your judgments. This is the trading strategy that can lead to sustained profits. In simple terms, it's not about luck; it's about calculating probabilities.

The profit and loss ratio theory sounds very reasonable, but I want to know more—how are these "risk-controlled" opportunities being targeted in advance under the cover of large transfers by whales?

You're right, the profit-loss ratio really should be prioritized, otherwise no matter how many small profits you make, a single huge loss can wipe you out completely. I have the same thoughts as you, I'm just afraid of those who only look at the win rate trying to convince me to go all in. This logic is the real deal, Risk Management > frequent trading, it should have been popularized long ago. A lot of people are just greedy, always wanting to go all in, and end up getting wrecked. To be honest, once the profit-loss ratio is calculated clearly, one's mindset also needs to keep up, otherwise it will all be in vain.

You are absolutely right, the profit-loss ratio is indeed crucial. This logic is sound, but the key is still to find those high odds and low-risk opportunities. It sounds simple, but doing it... well, you know what I mean.

Realizing this trap of theory too late, only understood after suffering losses.

It sounds nice, but there are hardly any people who can actually do it... I've seen too many people shouting about profit and loss ratios every day, only to turn around and go all in in one shot. The key is still the mindset. When losing money, who can really stay calm and calculate the probabilities?

You're right, but the real challenge is execution. I've seen too many people understand this principle, but when the market experiences fluctuations, they can't hold on, either frequently cutting their positions or greedily holding a losing position.

You're right, but I think most people can't really pump both at the same time. When one pumps, the other tends to fall behind.
