$MON remains bearish. To be honest, whether it's trading or anything else, trying to find a "perfect solution" is basically a pipe dream. There's a universal rule behind this called the "Impossible Triangle"—no system can give you the three best things at the same time; you have to give up something.
It's the same in trading. Your profit model consists of three elements: win rate, risk-reward ratio, and trading frequency. The reality is harsh: you can't have all three.
Some want both high win rate and high risk-reward ratio? Then they have to accept low frequency. These people are usually value investors, making only a few trades a year, but each time waiting for an excellent opportunity. The saying "not trading for half a year, then making a move and eating for half a year" reflects this logic.
Others prefer high win rate combined with high frequency, like short-term trading. The cost is a poor risk-reward ratio—earning just a couple of points and then exiting, relying on accumulating small gains to grow big.
And then there are those who want high frequency with high risk-reward ratio, which results in a very low win rate. Frequent stop-losses and small losses are normal; they can only rely on a few big wins to turn things around.
It's a bit like dating. Being smart, beautiful, and gentle—getting two of these is already good enough. If you really fantasize about having all three, you might not be able to marry anyone—perfection itself simply doesn't exist.
So top traders understand one principle—learning to "accept":
To make money, you first have to accept that losses will happen. To achieve steady profits, you must calmly face drawdowns. To keep operations simple, you need to go through complex polishing first. To gain rewards, you must be willing to put in the effort.
Knowing what to take and what to let go, knowing when to enter and when to exit—that's the true path to success.
