I recently met a fan whose trading experience is actually quite representative.

The account's losses are not one-time events but are gradually worn down by each individual trade. He’s very diligent about watching the market, but his hands are getting increasingly itchy. Whenever the market moves, he wants to jump in. The more frequently he participates, the more pitfalls he encounters.

At first, I didn’t rush to help him turn losses into profits. Instead, I adjusted his trading rhythm. He should skip participating in certain market movements, reduce his position sizes, and only focus on the segments he truly understands.

Initially, there was no obvious "breakthrough," but a key change appeared in his account — he no longer kept bouncing back in daily drawdowns. This change is actually much more important than short-term gains.

By mid-month, the market gradually moved in a better direction. The losses from reckless trading were steadily recovered one by one. There was no dramatic surge, but each trade was solid, and the account gradually stabilized with profits. His mindset also completely changed.

After being in this circle for a long time, one thing becomes clear — those who truly last are not the ones who trade every day, but those who know when to stop and wait.

The market plays out every year, and money can never be fully earned. The key is to live long enough to earn your rightful share.
