The goal of mastering this craft isn't to be right every single time. It's to lose less than others when you're wrong. And to hold more than others when you're right. Strip away all the fancy indicators and fancy charts — at the core, it comes down to two things: • Lose less when you're wrong • Hold longer when you're right Losing less is the skill that keeps you alive. Holding longer goes against every human instinct. First, train your eyes to tell the difference between a market that's chopping around and one that's trending. Then: When the market chops — take profits early, cut losses fast. When the market trends — sit on your hands and let the profits run. But here's the catch: holding without a defense is just gambling. Holding while trailing your defense higher — that's the real skill.
