The market never makes mistakes; only people do.

Those who can really make big money are not the ones messing around in front of the screen all day, but those who can sit still. Look carefully, the biggest moves usually happen during your idle times. I never bargain with the market because the market itself is the truth.

It's not hard to identify the right direction; the difficulty lies in whether you can withstand the shakeout when you're correct. The market needs to prove you're right, often by first subjecting you to a painful phase. If you can't even handle normal pullbacks, how can you profit from the trend? That simply doesn't match.

The market's rewards are clear—those who can stick to their judgment, not those who react the fastest. The most formidable enemy in a big trend isn't the market; it's your own fingers, always wanting to "do something." When all signals point in the same direction, the price has usually only traveled halfway.

Just observe the people around you, and you'll understand. Those losing money like to make excuses; those making money only care whether they are in the trend. A bull market doesn't make you comfortable every day; instead, it repeatedly tests and verifies your judgment through constant doubt. The true trading masters seem the most inactive, but their results are the most impressive.

This is not motivational talk; it's the reality the market teaches us.
