In the trading field, many people misunderstand the true source of risk. In fact, risk does not solely stem from market fluctuations, but comes from two main aspects: the uncertainty of the market itself and the psychological factors of the traders.
Market risk is an objective reality, including market fluctuations, technical pattern failures, sudden news, and slippage. Although these factors cannot be directly controlled, their impact can be mitigated through reasonable position management, effective stop-loss strategies, and robust trading systems.
However, the human risk, which is often more easily overlooked and can be more destructive, is reflected in the psychology and behavior of traders, such as:
1. Knowing that one should cut losses but stubbornly holding the position.
2. Blindly chasing high prices after missing the buying opportunity
3. Eager to turn the tables with risky trades after consecutive losses.
4. Unrealized gains exit too early due to market Fluctuation
These behaviors are not caused by the market, but stem from the psychological weaknesses of the traders themselves.
Therefore, successful trading relies not only on technical analysis skills or understanding market patterns, but more importantly on recognizing and managing one's own personality traits. Every trader should analyze their strengths and weaknesses in depth: Are they suited for trend following? Do they have the patience to wait for the best entry point? Are they easily impulsive or afraid of missing out on opportunities? Is it difficult for them to execute stop-loss orders?
These are the real risk factors that need attention and improvement. Rather than overly focusing on the success rate of technical indicators, it is better to first reflect on whether one can strictly adhere to the established trading rules.
As you accumulate trading experience, you will gradually realize that the market does not always work against you; it is often yourself making wrong decisions at critical moments that leads to losses. Managing your own psychology is essential to achieving long-term stable profits in trading.
