#巨鲸动向 In trading, the most heartbreaking thing is never missing out on a rally, but rather the repeated trial and error slowly eroding your principal, shrinking your account, and crushing your mindset.

Many people haven't considered that holding an empty position is actually an overlooked weapon. Without the consumption of trading fees, without the anxiety of losses, you can instead calm your mind. The beauty of this state lies in—giving you the two most precious things: time and a global perspective.

Time works there, revealing one card after another in the market, and opportunities are impossible to hide. As for perspective, it allows you to jump out of emotional whirlpools and see the overall trend clearly. Not every moment requires rushing; true trading experts understand when to hit the brakes and when to gather strength.

Honestly, this game isn't about who has the fastest hands, but about who can press pause at critical moments, stay patient enough to observe, and develop enough insight to wait. Waiting for the wind is always more stable than chasing the wind.

By the way, I've known about the weapon of holding cash for a long time, the problem is I just can't resist clicking.

To be honest, I'm that kind of fool who doesn't believe in bad luck at first. I kept making reckless trades every day, and in the end, my account went from five digits to four digits. That feeling... Anyway, I've tried holding an empty position, and it’s truly peaceful, but it's tough to endure.

Being out of the market is the true state of making money—that's a brilliant statement. Repeated stop-losses and being trapped, accounts shrinking, and mental breakdowns—who hasn't gone through this... But those who understand how to stay out of the market are really making a fortune.

Being completely out of the market is really seriously underestimated. I'm just relaxing and watching the show now, much better than losing money every day by grinding away.

Really, I slept the best during the period of being out of the market, and my mindset was also the clearest.

Really, every time it's small-scale trial and error, and in the end, I lose the main amount. Now I truly understand.

That's so right. I'm currently learning this lesson. Previously, I was impulsively trading frequently, and the fees ate up several percentage points in a month, making me extremely anxious. Recently, I just stayed out of the market to rest, and I can see things more clearly now.
