You will find that most traders are only active when the market is good—posting frequently, researching actively, and discussing enthusiastically. But this is precisely where the problem lies. True opportunities do not only appear in a bull market. Bear markets, consolidations, and even rebounds after sharp declines—each stage has its corresponding trading logic. The market is always in motion, and the key is whether you can maintain clear-headed analysis under any conditions. This is exactly the difference between professional traders and retail investors.
