In the arena of gold trading, trading and gambling have never been choices of the same dimension. The essential gap between the two directly determines the ultimate direction of a trader's account — the former is anchored by hardcore logic and quantitative methods, while the latter relies on illusory luck and the obsession with chance. Those who blur the boundaries will ultimately be swallowed by the chaotic fluctuations of the market.
True gold trading is a rigorous process of calculating every 'clear account.' Before trading, one must cross-verify using technical indicators like moving averages and MACD to anchor the core direction of the medium-term trend, eliminating subjective predictions based on 'gut feelings.' When building a position, strictly control risk exposure with a 30% position size to ensure that potential losses from a single trade do not undermine the foundation of the account. In the exit phase, precisely set stop-loss and take-profit at 3% of the entry price, replacing the emotional interference of greed and fear with cold rules. Just like relying on the 2050-2125 range under volatile conditions to buy low and sell high, earning certain returns within the known range, one must also calmly accept reasonable stop-losses when breaking below the 2030 support level — this is not giving up, but a reverence for trading rules, and a necessary cost for long-term survival.
In contrast to the gambling-like operations in gold, everything is a 'fantasy of confused accounts.' Such traders never take the time to analyze trends, merely determining direction based on the momentary fluctuations in the market; when faced with a pullback, they cling to the wishful thinking of 'holding on a bit longer for a rebound,' stubbornly keeping their positions and turning floating losses into real losses; once losses occur, they hope that the next trade will 'turn around by luck,' falling deeper into the vicious cycle of chasing highs and lows. Some even ignore clear signals of trend divergence, betting heavily on the fantasy of 'getting rich overnight' in the face of gold breaking through, gambling on uncontrollable short-term news disturbances for elusive profit opportunities, ultimately losing all their capital in a desperate gamble and leaving in shame.
The core of trading is 'stability,' anchoring in the long-term positive cycle of compound interest; even if single returns are meager, time will become the most loyal ally; the core of gambling is 'greed,' indulging in the illusory traps of short-term wealth, and even if they occasionally profit by chance, they will eventually lose it back through their own means.
In the ever-changing gold market, the rise and fall of prices are never the key to profit and loss; it is the trader's own cognition and behavior that determine success or failure. Only by clearly delineating the boundaries between trading and gambling, and using rules to restrain human weaknesses, can one stand firm amidst market turmoil and achieve long-term stable profits.
