But after years of experience, you learn that you don’t always have to be aggressive.
It’s not those who open the most trades who make the real difference… it’s those who understand when the market is giving you a real edge and when it’s just burning through capital and energy.
That’s why I don’t mind the boring phases: you reduce your exposure, protect your capital and wait for better conditions.
The problem is that those without experience often do the opposite: they increase position size, force trades and constantly search for ‘the game-changing trade’ in a market that is offering almost nothing.
And that is precisely where many have really got hurt over the past year.
Because in difficult markets, it is not those who make the most money who survive… but those who manage to lose the least and stay clear-headed long enough to capitalise on the next real trend..

老实说,就交易而言,过去几个月市场一直很糟糕:混乱的价格走势、低流动性、不断的错误动作和很少真正明确的机会。
说实话,就交易而言,过去几个月市场表现糟糕:价格波动混乱,流动性低,假信号频繁,真正清晰的机会寥寥无几。
但经过多年的经验,你会明白并不总是需要激进操作。
真正起作用的不是那些开仓最多的人,而是那些懂得何时市场给予你真正优势,何时只是耗费资本和精力的人。
因此,我并不介意那些乏味的阶段:你减少敞口,保护资本,等待更好的条件。
问题在于,没有经验的人往往恰恰相反:他们增加仓位,强行交易,不断寻找市场几乎没有的“改变游戏规则的交易”。
这正是许多人在过去一年中受到重创的原因。
因为在困难的市场中,能生存下来的不是赚得最多的人,而是那些能尽量少亏、保持头脑清醒、等待下一次真正趋势的人。
