Recently, I’ve been pondering a question—if I only focus on one month of certain opportunities, how much would the psychological pressure decrease?

I came across such data: 500,000 for short-term swings, 2 million for medium-term trends, 6 million for long-term layouts, each with 150,000 for dark horse and bear market rebound opportunities, and the largest being 17 million for ultra-short-term opportunities.

Sounds very tempting, right? No need to stay up late watching the charts, no need to get caught in PVP battles, a relatively relaxed operation pace. But here’s a harsh truth—most people are stuck in the same place: they make money but can’t sell well.

Short-term opportunities are indeed plentiful, but execution is the real dividing line. Knowing where to enter is just the first step; when to exit, how to set stop-losses, and when to take profits—these are what ultimately determine the P&L. Many traders are blinded by early gains, only to end up losing everything at the exit stage.

This is not just a technical issue, but more of a psychological one. When a certain opportunity is right in front of you, greed and fear appear simultaneously, often resulting in neither making a satisfying profit nor stopping losses cleanly.
