In the trading market, many people, due to a lack of deep thinking, often fall into the predicament of vague planning, wavering positions, and chaotic goals, ultimately losing both focus and substantial profits due to panic operations. In reality, the win rates and profit-loss ratios in trading are often difficult to balance; one can only clearly choose a focus. This core decision is the key prerequisite for long-term stability in trading.
If you choose to focus on high win rates, you need to adapt a quick trading strategy, sticking to swift decisions and decisively exiting once preset targets are reached. For example, when facing a potential profit space of 5000 points, there is no need to pursue the entire amount; simply lock in 2000 points of profit and exit quickly, seeking new trading opportunities the next day. If you want to capture greater profits, you can exit in phases or retain some of your positions, relying on floating profits to speculate on further space. However, high win rates come at a cost; not only may you miss out on significant trends, but you may also fall into a passive position by deliberately expanding stop-loss ranges, which requires traders to accurately judge the 'necessary operational boundaries' to avoid blindly holding on. Therefore, before deciding to focus on high win rates, one must clearly understand its potential costs, prepare a comprehensive trading plan in advance, clarify core needs, adapt operational modes, and be psychologically prepared to withstand risk fluctuations and missed opportunities.
Conversely, focusing on high profit-loss ratios requires concentrating on low-frequency trading, anchoring trend opportunities, and pursuing large space profits. However, market trends do not persist, and high profit-loss ratio traders often face the test of profit retracement, even seeing profitable orders ultimately turn into losses. This places high demands on traders' psychological quality; not only must they bear the costs of multiple trial-and-error attempts, but they must also endure repeated setbacks before trends arrive—most people often give up due to consecutive losses on the eve of a trend's initiation, ultimately missing out on significant market movements. Thus, to become a qualified trend trader, patience is not an optional quality but an essential core capability.
In real trading, most people have never seriously contemplated the trade-off between win rates and profit-loss ratios: they rush to exit profitable orders only to blindly re-enter, deviating from established plans, ultimately turning profits into losses, and exhausting their energy from frequent trading, which takes a toll on their health; or they become greedy after multiple profits, hesitating to take profits, causing their original long-term plans to collapse due to significant profit retracement, hastily switching to heavy short-term positions; or when a major trend arrives, they fear profit retracement and exit early, regretting the missed core earnings. The root of these problems lies either in a lack of deep thinking and unclear trading logic, or in having a plan but failing to execute it strictly. There are no shortcuts on the trading path; only through careful consideration and clear direction, steadfastly adhering to principles, can one move forward steadily and for the long term.
