Many of the numbers on the books are, to put it bluntly, the result of time. When the market is not right, it's better to take a break; it's during times of impatience that accidents are more likely to happen.

Take the wave at the beginning of October as an example, I made almost 2 million in a month. But if you account for the positions that were strictly cut off due to stop losses, that profit is just enough to cover a month or so of losses. So, if you look at it over a longer period, many of the current dilemmas really aren't a big deal.

Don't fixate on single profits or losses, and don't let momentary impulses lead you by the nose. Market opportunities are always present; the key is whether you can remain calm and wait for that moment that truly belongs to you.

Some accounts aren't unclear; it's just that the timing isn't right yet...

When your hands are itchy, it's indeed easy to suffer losses. I've suffered quite a bit because of this. 2 million sounds impressive, but when you really calculate it, that bit of profit can't withstand a round of drawdown. I agree with this logic. Waiting for the right moment is absolutely right; many times it’s not that you can’t do it, but that the time hasn’t come yet. Right now, I really can’t hold back, always thinking the next order will help me turn things around, but the result often goes in reverse. Waiting a bit longer is much better than being eager to take action.

Wow, 2 million a month sounds great, but when I think about the stop loss and all the repairs, it's another year. No matter how I calculate it, it feels like a loss. Getting restless is really a terminal disease in trading; when you're impatient, one random trade can wipe out all the profits you've made before. The market won't escape, the key is whether you can wait for that moment. Timing being slightly off can make a huge difference.

This really hit me hard; the urge to trade is truly the source of all evils. Wait, was that 2 million also cut off by stop loss? To put it plainly, it’s just relying on luck. It's easy to say to keep calm, but it's tough to actually do it; I’ve never been able to hold back. I love hearing the phrase "the timing isn't right"; it feels the most comfortable to use as an excuse. The numbers on paper are all illusory; only what can be withdrawn counts as real.

Don't mess around before the right time; this saying is so true. 2 million sounds great, but turning around and losing it makes you realize what unpredictability really is. Itching hands are the devil; that's how I've wasted my time. Just wait; anyway, opportunities come one after another, and only those who can hold their ground will make big money.

It’s true that being impulsive is the number one killer in trading, that's absolutely right. Two million sounds appealing, but when you break it down, it’s just like that. It’s really hard to be patient, 99% of people end up paying tuition. If the stop loss isn't strict, the little profit can’t withstand a pullback. Waiting for the right moment sounds easy, but how many can really wait... The numbers on the account are all illusory; being alive is the real victory. What I fear the most is the urge to act; once I do, I get trapped. This logic makes sense; over a long cycle, you’ll understand what it means to be a drop in the ocean. If the market is off, you should just close your eyes and lie down; messing around is really meaningless. There are many opportunities in the market, but there are also many greedy people, so most still end up losing.
