This market is like your mom simmering a chicken soup for three hours—

It smells good, but it just won't boil.

You're anxious, pacing around the stove, lifting the lid eight times,

But the soup still isn't boiling.

Finally, you give up, go scroll your phone for a while,

And when you come back—it's boiling, the meat is tender, and the aroma is intoxicating.

That's how the market is now.

You watch the charts every day, and it's like a dead fish, $0.9→$0.91→$0.89→$0.9…

Even an electrocardiogram is more exciting.

You ask, "Where's the bull? The supposed raging bull?"

The market maker smokes a cigar and laughs, "The bull's eating grass, don't rush."

So—

Impatient people slam their keyboards: "I'm done! I'm going to play with dogs!"

(Then they get a position on the mountain top)

Old hand closes the software: "It rises when it wants, I’m off to deliver food."

(And halfway through delivery, they find their account has doubled)

Sideways trading is like being married for seven years—

No passion, but you can't bear to leave.

Stuck there every day, testing your temper, wasting your youth,

Until you finally calm down, and then—market suddenly "pop"—it comes.

Remember three things:

1. How long it goes sideways, how high it goes vertically (this is what the ancients said, not me)

2. The market maker isn't afraid of your curses, only of you not watching (if you stop watching, they panic)

3. Losing money isn't because you're bad, it's because you're impatient (wealth doesn't enter through impatience, the ancients said it right)

So, do whatever you need to do.

Lift weights, walk the dog, go to work and slack off.

Stop watching the K-line, look at the sky more.

When one day your friends circle is all posting about hitting the daily limit—$FIL ‌

Silently open your account, sell when you should, don't hesitate.

After all, the soup simmered for three hours,

Isn't it just for that last sip of freshness?
