Is trading really just relying on luck?



Honestly, part of it is.
When the market is volatile, when it’s trending, when there’s a false breakout—these are things you and I can’t control. It’s like the weather—changes happen suddenly.

But what truly makes the difference in trading is never whether you can "predict the market correctly," but how you respond to the market.

When the market is chaotic, can you do less?
When you have no advantage, can you hold back?
When you make a mistake, can you cut small losses?
When you’re right, can you hold on instead of taking a little profit and running?

These are the key factors that determine whether you can survive long-term.

Consistently profitable traders aren’t necessarily predicting perfectly; they have solid rules.
They don’t ask, “Can I make money today?” but instead ask, “Is this the right market condition for me to act?”

Honestly, whether the market gives you food or not, you can’t control that.
But whether you eat recklessly or how much you eat—that’s up to you.

Truly skilled traders, when the market is quiet, they don’t act recklessly; when the market is good, they naturally take more opportunities.
It’s not luck—it’s restraint, discipline, and consistent execution day after day. #当前行情抄底还是观望? #Gate广场发帖领五万美金红包 #币圈生存指南 #比特币反弹 $BTC $ETH
