What is the sense of rhythm in contract trading?

Many people lose money not because they lack skills, but because their psychological resilience is insufficient. They fear missing out, fear losses. They are afraid of rising prices, afraid of falling prices. Even if they don't get the direction wrong, their rhythm gets disrupted first. They rush to enter when it's time to wait, and hesitate to exit when it's time to leave. As a result, the market moves on, but their accounts don't keep up.

Trading is not about continuous actions, but about making few but precise moves. Truly effective opportunities often appear after the structure is complete and risks are released. Don't act until the right position is reached, wait for signals before making a move—this is not conservatism, but professionalism.

The sense of rhythm comes from three things:

First, clarify your trading level. Trade short-term when doing short-term, trade swing when doing swing, and don't use intraday thinking to handle large-level retracements.

Second, prepare your plan in advance. Confirm entry, stop-loss, and exit points before placing orders. When the market moves, follow the plan strictly.

Third, accept periods of no signals. When there are no signals, it's natural to stay in cash; this is part of trading, not failure.

Missing out is not a loss; messing around is. Those who can maintain rhythm will see smoother account curves; those who can resist impulsive moves deserve the subsequent market opportunities. The market always offers chances, but only rewards those with rhythm and plans. Keep your rhythm steady, and profits will come naturally.
