Why do most traders find it difficult to achieve consistent profits? The fundamental reason is often not a lack of understanding of the market, but rather an overly impatient mentality, excessive Position allocation, and unclear trading rules.

Many people find themselves in a dilemma when faced with floating profits: they worry about potential drawdowns as soon as they see profits on the books; when they encounter a slight pullback, they are eager to close their positions and exit. However, the market often continues to develop in its original trend after they exit, resulting in repeated operations that make it difficult to fully capture a market cycle.

To effectively hold profitable positions, the primary task is to establish a clear profit-taking mechanism rather than relying on subjective feelings. Whether using a fixed profit-loss ratio method, a price structure breakout method, or a moving average system exit method, the key is to formulate clear rules in advance and execute them resolutely.

Secondly, it is crucial to reasonably control the Position. An overly heavy Position can amplify psychological pressure, making it difficult for traders to withstand normal market fluctuations, leading them to exit too early during short-term pullbacks. Conversely, a moderately light Position can help maintain a balanced mindset and give more courage to hold potential Positions.

Finally, it is essential to accept that market fluctuations are the norm in trading. Prices rarely move in a straight line, and it is entirely normal to experience oscillations and adjustments along the way. As long as you do not violate the established trading rules, you should maintain position discipline and patiently wait for the market to develop.
