In the trading world, sometimes the problem does not stem from poor judgment, but rather from an excessive desire for success.
Many times, we have a clear understanding of risks and a basic concept of capital management, yet we make irrational decisions due to a strong "fear of missing out" mentality. Even when technical analysis is insufficient and capital allocation is unreasonable, the inner impulse of "must seize the opportunity" still overwhelms rational thinking. During trading, the heart rate spikes as we stare intently at the market, only to be ultimately eliminated by it - after the stop-loss is triggered, the price often immediately begins to rise, leaving one speechless.
This situation is not a reflection of insufficient technical ability, but rather a result of an overly strong desire for victory. The market itself has not deceived you; it is your own psychological desires that have obscured objective judgment.
The biggest challenge in the trading process is not mastering technical indicators, but rather the ability to calmly accept the fact of missing out on opportunities. Strictly adhering to trading discipline may indeed result in the loss of certain profit opportunities, but this self-restraint is necessary — giving up an established trading system out of fear of missing out will only lead to greater losses.
The core of successful trading is not about how many fluctuations you can catch in the short term, but whether you can survive continuously and move steadily in the long-term market.
