Save every bullet for that one shot where you are most certain and confident. For the rest of the time, wait peacefully. If you can't get it, don't lose money; only reckless shooting will truly cause harm.Don't delude yourself into thinking you can eat up every wave of the market. That's not skill; that's greed. You only need to enjoy the portion that belongs to you. Eat your fill and leave; let others fight over the remaining meat.Cut losses decisively, decisively enough to hesitate not at all. Hold profits firmly, firmly enough to stand immovable.Pitifully, most people are exactly the opposite: they stubbornly hold onto losing positions when they lose, and panic-sell when they gain. In the end, their accounts are filled with trapped positions.True trading is a battle against one's own greed and fear. Win this battlefield, and you win the market." datetime: "2026-07-22T16:04:56.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/42862111.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/42862111.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/42862111.md) author: "[浩浩荡荡地](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/19784218.md)" generator: "portal-rs" --- # The highest realm of trading, in the end, comes do… --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
