The toughest part about trading? Staying hungry enough to keep searching for the next move, but disciplined enough to say no most of the time.

Here's the thing: areas packed with high volatility attract trigger-happy traders who jump at every ripple. Meanwhile, the real gains hide where the patient hunters wait. Those who resist the noise and pick their spots carefully tend to catch the meaningful moves.

From my experience, that discipline separates amateurs from seasoned traders. It's not about being active—it's about knowing when silence is golden.

There's nothing wrong with that, but this is the difficulty of knowing easily and doing easily. Many people keep shouting every day about having discipline, but they turn around and shoot at birds randomly in the volatility, ending up losing everything. How many can truly hold on?

That's correct, but the real challenge is execution. Most people get stuck here.

That's exactly right, that's the feeling. I often watch those who trade frequently, making dozens of transactions a day, and in the end, they lose everything. The ones who truly make money are those who can hold back, preferring to miss out rather than make reckless moves.

That's a great point. Those who can restrain themselves from acting have already made a fortune.

Exactly right, that's the principle. I've seen too many people constantly clicking on charts all day long, only to end up losing everything. The real profit-makers are waiting there, waiting for the right moment to strike.

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people can actually do it? There are tons of people who can't resist placing an order as soon as they see the market go up a little.
