In the complex and ever-changing world of financial markets, we often believe that successful traders must possess sharp analytical skills and quick reaction times. However, years of trading experience have made me deeply realize that the true core skill of trading is actually 'waiting'.

This waiting is not passive; rather, it is a proactive strategy. What are we waiting for? We are waiting for the moment when market conditions perfectly align with our trading strategy. This strategy usually consists of multiple market indicators, and we only consider entering when all conditions are met.

Many novice traders often make the mistake of trying to analyze every market fluctuation and looking for profit opportunities in each movement. However, the nature of the market is filled with randomness. Most of the time, market fluctuations lack clear patterns. Successful trading is not about predicting every market change, but about identifying and seizing those opportunities with higher probabilities of success.

If we compare trading to hunting, our goal should not be to predict every move of the prey, but to patiently wait for the prey to enter our optimal range. Only at this moment can we complete the hunt with the highest success rate.

As you accumulate trading experience, you will gradually understand that avoiding chaotic and disorderly market conditions and focusing on waiting for the most reliable opportunities is the key to improving your trading skills. This art of 'waiting' not only requires patience and self-discipline but also a deep understanding and insight into the market.

Overall, successful trading is not about frequent operations, but about making the right decisions at the right time. Learning to wait may be the most difficult yet the most important skill in trading. When you truly understand and apply this, your trading career will reach a whole new height.
