Today, let's look at the "sense of rhythm" in trading from a different perspective. Many people lose money not because they pick the wrong direction, but because their rhythm is all over the place. They rush to enter when it's time to wait, and hesitate to leave when they should, resulting in the market moving on without their accounts keeping up.
Trading is not about continuous actions but about making few but precise moves. Truly effective opportunities often appear after the structure is complete and risks are released. Don't act before the right setup appears; wait for signals. This is not conservatism, but professionalism.
A sense of rhythm comes from three things:
First, clarify your trading level. Trade short-term when it's short-term, swing when it's swing, and don't use intraday thinking to handle large retracements.
Second, prepare your plan in advance. Confirm your entry, stop-loss, and exit before placing orders. When the market moves, follow the plan strictly.
Third, accept periods of no signals. When there are no signals, staying out is the right choice—this is part of trading, not failure.
Missing out is not a loss; acting recklessly is. Those who can maintain rhythm will see smoother account curves; those who can resist unnecessary moves deserve to ride the next market wave. The market always offers opportunities, but only rewards those with rhythm and plans. Maintain your rhythm, and profits will come naturally.
