Can retail investors achieve stable profits? The key lies in the rigor of the trading system. In summary, a few elements are most critical:

First is the logic behind the selection of assets. Many people like to follow their intuition and chase hot topics, which is a big mistake. Truly worthwhile assets to bet on are those widely recognized by the market and supported by liquidity, not just based on personal optimism. Market consensus is often more reliable than individual judgment.

Second is the timing of entry prices. Good trading opportunities usually arise in two scenarios: one is when the asset has already fallen significantly, leaving enough room for a rebound; the other is when market expectations are significantly off, and the price deviates seriously from the fundamentals. At this point, the risk-reward ratio becomes sufficiently attractive—the balance between risk and reward reaches an ideal state.

Finally, and most challenging to human nature: patience. After selecting the right asset and entering at the right price, the rest is about maintaining the right mindset. Don’t be scared out by short-term fluctuations, and don’t rush to chase high prices out of greed. Let time and the market validate your judgment. This process is often more difficult than the analysis itself.
