Your true opponent in the market is not the trend or technical indicators, but the impulsive self sitting in front of the screen.

Most short-term traders lose money not because they can't understand the market movements or miss opportunities, but because they can't resist temptation. A well-planned strategy is overturned by a moment of greed, and a set stop-loss is broken through by luck—each tolerance creates a crack in the psychological defense line. What happens next? The second and third times follow, and eventually the entire rule system collapses.

That's why some people with good technical skills frequently blow up their accounts, while others who don't seem as smart manage to profit steadily. The secret of the latter is simple—they stick to discipline. Even if they make a short-term profit from an impulsive trade, they consider it cheating, and may even voluntarily accept the loss to reinforce the discipline of the rules.

What is trading really about? It's not about predicting accuracy, but about who can better control themselves. Market fluctuations are objective, but your trading system, risk management, and adherence to rules—these are entirely in your own hands. Those who can control themselves ultimately don't win just once or twice in the market, but win over the entire market cycle.
