Trader Gu Jingci: Why do some people profit while others get trapped in the same market conditions?

The market has never lacked opportunities; what's missing is the inner strength to stay true to oneself. Amid market fluctuations, there are always winners and losers. The same market conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes based on timing and risk management. Many people lose money not because they don't understand the market, but because they can't endure waiting—emotionally swayed by short-term volatility, leading to frequent trades driven by chasing gains or cutting losses too quickly. Opportunities never disappear, but once capital is lost, even the best market conditions become irrelevant. Trade with the trend, only engage in what you understand, and manage position sizes wisely. There's no need to catch every move; patience in waiting for your own opportunity is far more valuable than chasing unrealistic profits. Staying in rhythm allows you to survive and thrive in the market over the long term.
