What is the most difficult part of trading? Some people say it is technology, some people say it is rules, but the real difficulty is actually holding positions.
Holding positions, seemingly simple, is actually the most challenging to human nature. During the holding process, the market fluctuates constantly, and the floating profits and losses of the account tempt us. When making money, we want to close the position immediately, and when losing money, we hold on to it, and even increase the position to spread the cost. But to really make money, we must seize the trend and insist on holding positions. Mature traders understand this truth. They make plans before entering the market, and wait patiently after entering the market, and are not easily affected by market fluctuations. However, most of our investors can't let go of the market, always staring at it, and as a result, they can't do a good job of trading. The most taboo in the holding process is to watch the market frequently, which will only make us more anxious and affect our judgment. Real trading masters are as calm as water. They know how to let go of the market and focus on their trading plans and rules. This attitude of doing nothing is the most difficult knowledge for traders to learn, and it is also the only way to success.
Holding positions is an art that requires us to practice continuously in practice. Only when we can truly let go of the market and stick to our own trading rules can we achieve long-term success in trading.
