In the market, what truly makes a difference, frankly, isn't those magical indicators, nor is it someone catching insider information.

What creates the gap is very simple—it's how you manage your positions.

Many people understand position management too superficially, thinking it's just "don't be greedy, don't go all-in." But it's much more than that. The essence of position management is about controlling your mind.

Imagine this scenario: going all-in, the market suddenly plunges, your heart pounds, your hands start trembling, and all that's left in your mind are the thoughts of "buy more, buy more" and "get back to break-even." Where's the rationality in that?

Now consider another scenario: only 10% of your position, and when the same drop occurs, you can see clearly—"Hmm, this is the level," and even calmly weigh whether to hold or cut losses.

The difference isn't in the candlesticks; it's in how much space your position gives you to think.

The most frightening thing in the market isn't losing money itself. It's the chain reaction: losing confidence → decision chaos → wrong operations → continued mistakes. Once this vicious cycle starts, your account will only suffer more and more.

Experienced traders understand one word: slow. My own habit is to make important decisions in the afternoon or even later. By then, I can see more clearly the market's strength or weakness, what truly constitutes a breakout, and what is a false signal.

Look at the most costly trades? They all stem from one word: rush. Rushing to get in, rush to buy the bottom, rush to chase the trend. If you can slow down, 80% of the pitfalls will naturally be avoided.

Don't treat position sizing as a technical detail. It is actually your strategic layer of trading. It manages not only risk but also your mindset.

The longer you're in this industry, the clearer it becomes: any technical indicator or trading style can become outdated, but nothing can replace good position planning.

Once you truly understand this, you'll suddenly realize—trading is no longer a torment.

At that moment, you'll have truly entered the door.
