When you’ve got time to idle and just stare off into space, your brain turns and turns, and somehow you end up picking up a pretty interesting set of principles: $UAI

Those who dig deepest into the technical side don’t necessarily end up eating the meat. Those who scramble the hardest to study the news side don’t necessarily end up with a full bag. But those who never “hold on no matter what” almost all managed to last until the end without zeroing out. $MarsCoin

In real life, I’ve got a buddy who traded one contract for five years—he never once held a losing position through. $BMT

One time he opened a big, bullish position on momentum, and as soon as he entered, a huge bullish candle shot out—straight up sweeping his stop-loss. He didn’t even blink; he cut it and left. Now guess what happened? After the stop-loss got hit and pierced, the market turned down and dumped ten points in a row. He missed a big chunk of meat.

Someone asked him: “Aren’t you in pain about that?”

He said: “No. The stop-loss is the line I welded shut for myself. If I can’t even keep that line, then I’m useless too.”

Later, he took another entry. After entering, it went sideways for three days with no movement. On the fourth day it suddenly plunged down, and again it swept his stop-loss. Two losing trades in a row—anyone else would’ve already panicked, exploded, and rushed back in trying to make up for it. He didn’t. He closed the app and went for a five-kilometer run. When he came back, the chart had moved out in the smooth direction it was meant to go. He re-entered, and within a week he not only recovered all the earlier losses, he even doubled.

He told me: “Losing in this pool is part of trading. You can’t get every footstep right, but you can make sure you don’t stubbornly hold on. When the ‘hold no matter what’ crowd gets one foot off—one entry skewed—they can end up giving back everything they built up from ten previous steps.” $USELESS

Not holding on no matter what isn’t admitting defeat—it’s saving yourself a breath, waiting for the next leg that’s supposed to be yours. People who’ve survived holding through trades all understand this. It’s just that some people don’t get a next round anymore. If you’re still lost, you’re welcome to chat—I’m always here. If you want to make progress, I’ll walk forward with you. #美国续请失业金人数降至177.9万
