What is the Tao in trading?

The so-called "Way in Trading" is, to put it simply, the most fundamental principle that you gradually realize after being in this market for a long time. It is not a specific skill, nor is it a particular system, but rather the "core understanding" that penetrates all techniques, allowing you to survive in the long term and achieve stable profits.

For example, you no longer cling to predicting price fluctuations, but instead place more importance on following the trend, because you finally understand that the market will not rise just because you think it should.

You start to be willing to stay out of the market and wait patiently, rather than feeling the need to trade every day, because you know that it's not about trading more to make more money, but rather about striking hard at the right time.

You start to see trading as a long-term endeavor rather than a shortcut to wealth. You no longer pursue getting rich quickly, but focus more on risk control, discipline, and stability, knowing that making money is not about luck, but about execution.

So, the "Dao" in trading is about being able to get back up after being taught a lesson in the market time and time again, correcting your greed, fear, and illusions, and ultimately forming your own trading beliefs and principles.

The Dao is invisible and intangible, but once you comprehend it, you will no longer easily lose your way. Technology is a "skill" that can be learned, but the "Dao" relies on enlightenment. The truly formidable traders, in the end, compete on who gets closer to that "Dao."
