Why is trading so hard? Let me share a market truth with everyone— Theoretically, any intraday trading action, whether you're buying long or shorting, has a 50% chance of being correct. Don’t tell me about prediction systems—market ups and downs are just a process of fools buying and fools selling. So, for retail traders, intraday market movements are essentially a random walk, with no patterns to follow. So, where’s the problem? When you’re right 50% of the time, you make small profits, but when you’re wrong 50% of the time, you suffer big losses. This is determined by human nature. Think about your own trading behavior: Most people can’t hold on to their positions when they’re making a profit, can’t cut losses in time when they’re in the red, and when faced with big losses, they often choose to hold on stubbornly or even get liquidated. As a result, small wins + big losses = inevitable long-term losses. This isn’t the market killing you—it’s human nature.
