Whether it's starting a business or trading, most things in life are like this.
Technical skills are important. The effort invested is important. Whether you're smart or not is important.
But in the end, whether you can make money or turn the situation around depends on timing.
No matter how talented a trader is, if they miss the big market move, even if they're smart, it's useless. No matter how dedicated or professional a startup team is, if they miss the right track, ten times the effort might still result in zero.
Timing determines whether everything can compound.

Luck really is something else; no matter how strong your skills are, you can't withstand the timing's thunder.

Missing the big market move just means you didn't time the launch window well; no matter how high the RSI is, it can't save your stop-loss line.

Missing an opportunity once, no matter how smart you are, you have to start over.

Missing out just once is really unbeatable; no matter how strong, it's useless.

Basically, it's just luck. No matter how solid your skills are, you need to be in the right place at the right time.
Indeed.
