Why do you keep summarizing but still keep losing money? Why is trading so difficult?



Making a profit in trading is simple to say but very difficult to do. So, where exactly is the difficulty?

Trading is a game of probabilities, and short-term actions can easily influence your judgment. For example, you realize that trading in the trend can be profitable, so you jump in long, but the market pulls back, hitting your stop-loss. As a result, you decide to wait for a pullback next time before entering, but this time the market continues upward without a pullback, and you miss the entire move. Then, after reflecting, you think you should just go long directly and not wait for a pullback.

Making money in trading relies on the probability of big data, but short-term data can easily influence traders' judgments. Sometimes, extreme situations occur where you get stopped out multiple times. What do you do then? Do you continue with your original trading logic? This is definitely a dilemma.

Trading is an extremely complex discipline, not just black and white. There are many chance factors in each trade, and often, you are blinded by appearances and cannot see the core of the trade. Therefore, the experience or lessons you gain from a trade may very well be incorrect.

So, what is the core of trading? I believe the core is maintaining consistent output. Do not consider any external factors; stick to consistent trading. When it's time to place an order, place it; when it's time to stop-loss, stop-loss; when it's time to take profit, take profit.

Quantify these trading rules and hard-code them. Do not change them arbitrarily. Use a unified trading approach for every trade, relying on the probability advantage of big data to make money.

In trading, it is only meaningful to persist in the correct direction.
