The real enemy is never the market, but yourself.

Greed can cause you to miss take-profit opportunities, and fear can lead you to cut losses at the bottom. Every trader must contend with themselves—stick to discipline, lock in profits when appropriate, and don't be driven by emotions. The market's ups and downs are there, but your choices ultimately determine the final victory or defeat.

That's true, but knowing is one thing; when the market comes, you still have to fight yourself.

That's so true, oneself is the biggest enemy, and being careless is a fatal disease.

You're so right. The moment I cut my losses, I knew I had lost.

Exactly right, mindset is everything. My previous wave of the market was due to greed, and I didn't sell, ending up getting trapped.

I've seen too many people lose to themselves, really.

Well said, but execution is too difficult. Watching the limit-up board makes my fingers tremble.

That's true, but what really hits hard is... knowing it and understanding it, but still getting emotionally overwhelmed when it comes to execution.

That's right, inner demons are more deadly than the market trend. I'm the greedy type, always wanting to take more, but every correction makes me give it all back.

That's right, but the real challenge is execution. I know I should stick to discipline, but when prices go up, I want to chase, and when they go down, I want to run.
