Today is the 322nd day of my dynamic postings, without a single day of interruption. Each post is not done half-heartedly, but is carefully prepared. If you think I am a serious person, you can follow me, and I hope the content can help you every day. The world is vast, and I am small, so please follow me, so it's not hard to find.

Why is it that the harder you work, the worse your trading account suffers? Zhuangzi said the answer 2000 years ago: the greatest use comes from the useless. Today’s content will tell you that frequent trading is the hidden black hole of losses. Look at these two traders: Old Zhang stares at the market every day, chasing highs and cutting losses, trading frequently, and feels anxious if he doesn't trade. A year later, the fees have eaten away 30% of his capital. Sister Li only took two high-certainty opportunities that fit her trading system in a month, and her return rate exceeded 50%. This is not a difference in skill, but the uselessness that Zhuangzi spoke of. Those seemingly useless waits are the key to profit; the large tree in Zhuangzi's writing was able to live out its full life because of its uselessness. Trading is the same; those seemingly useless waits are exactly the best protection.
A true trading expert spends 80% of their time waiting and only takes action at the most critical moments. Trading opportunities actually consist of noise for 70% of the time in the market, which you need to filter.
Remember the three things not to do:
Do not engage in market movements that do not belong to your system, and do not pursue opportunities that are not within the trading system; avoid acting on emotional impulses. As Zhuangzi said, practice forgetting to grasp the larger trends by letting go of short-term fluctuations.
