Many people trade, and the biggest problem is not that they can't understand the market, but that they can't accept uncertainty. They always want a 100% correct answer, always want someone to tell them exactly what to do next. But the reality is, the market itself is uncertain.
True trading is not about eliminating uncertainty, but about finding probabilities that are favorable to you within uncertainty. You don't need to know whether the market will definitely go up or down; you only need to know: if it goes up, how do I profit; if it goes down, how much do I lose; if I stay still, should I participate. Once you have clarity on these three things, you've already won more than half the battle.
Many people lose money because they only think about the scenarios where they make money, but never seriously consider the risks. When the market and expectations don't align, their mindset collapses immediately, and their operations become distorted. Brother Chen always emphasizes that you should first think through the worst-case scenario, then consider how much you can earn at best. This is the dividing line between a mature trader and a gambler.
You'll find that truly stable people often don't appear aggressive. They don't go all-in every day, nor do they change their views after just one K-line. They respect the market, respect cycles, and also respect their own plans. Over the long term, this seemingly conservative approach often goes the farthest.
Trading is not about being brave; it's about thinking clearly. Being able to accept uncertainty is essential for long-term survival in the market; sticking to discipline within uncertainty is what gradually leads to stable profits.
