#美联储重启降息步伐 Have you ever seen this? There’s a certain type of trader who’s really funny 🤔
Whenever there’s some spare cash sitting in their account, their hands start to itch. It doesn’t matter if the market’s up, down, or just going sideways—they just have to place an order to feel satisfied. Deep down, these people have a kind of gambler’s confidence—in plain terms, they just overestimate themselves.
They don’t think they need to improve at all; in their eyes, their current skills are already good enough. For them, there are only two explanations for profits and losses: made money? That’s gotta be skill, and they can’t wait to let the world know; lost money? Pure bad luck, they’ll just try again next time—reflection? That’s not a thing.
And what’s even crazier is these people never admit anyone else is better. Even if it’s obvious that some pro has way better skills, they’ll still make sarcastic remarks. This stubborn refusal to admit fault is just a way to cover up their fragile ego—admitting someone else is better feels like they themselves are diminished.
Honestly, “controlling your hands” has never been about forcing yourself to resist, but about keeping your mindset steady 💚. First, you have to accept reality: I do have shortcomings, so what? And you need to develop a real skill—watching others make money without getting jealous. Someone else’s opportunity isn’t necessarily right for you; forcing your way in will just get you rekt.
Keep this in mind: there are only a handful of things in this world that we can truly control. If you try to grab every opportunity and take every trade, you’ll only wear yourself out and are more likely to blow up your account. Admit that you’re just an ordinary person, and allow some market moves to have nothing to do with you. That way, you’re actually more likely to catch the opportunities that truly belong to you.
On this trading journey, winning isn’t the only way to live—being able to hold onto your capital is what lets you laugh in the end~

Damn, that's so true. It really is an incurable itch to trade.
Bro, you’re talking about me, aren’t you? That hurts.
Time to look in the mirror—admitting you’re not that good isn’t so hard.
As long as your principal survives, you’ll always have chances whether you win or lose. Without this mindset, you’ll get wiped out sooner or later.
So real. I just worry some people won’t see it.

Blunt but true, itchy hands really are an incurable disease.
That's right, it's so easy to mistake luck for skill.
I know a guy like this—every time he loses money, he blames the market, but when he makes money, he brags about it for ages.
It was only after hearing this that I realized, not every opportunity is worth taking.
Controlling your hands sounds easy, but it's insanely hard to actually do.
Admitting you're a newbie isn't that embarrassing; what's really embarrassing is repeating the same mistakes over and over.
Keeping your principal really is way more reliable than frequent trading—just lacking that bit of insight.
There are more opportunities than you can count on your fingers, yet you still feel the need to grab them all—it's basically self-punishment.
Mindset is the greatest asset in trading, even more practical than technical indicators.
Sometimes doing nothing actually makes you more money. Ironic, isn't it?

Oh no, that really hit me in the feels. I just can't cure this itch to take action.
You're right, every time there's a rate cut, it's like taking a stimulant—you just have to get a shot to feel good.
This is our daily life, something we just can't change.

Oh man, that's exactly like my buddy—he just can't resist itching to do something.
So true, some people are just way too self-satisfied.
I'm just going to watch and see how things play out, let's see who laughs the longest in the end.
Even with rate cuts coming, you can't just act rashly—you need to wait for the real signal.
People with this kind of poor mindset really do get rekt easily.
