Well-known trader Pickle Cat shares his trading insights on Twitter, directly pointing out the commonly mentioned trading profit equation: "Find a trading strategy, develop discipline." This is highly misleading because trading discipline is not something that can be cultivated through repetitive practice; it comes from real lessons learned in the market—at least three margin calls are needed before truly mastering trading. He criticizes that outsiders overly superstition strategies, research, and knowledge, while ignoring the most difficult aspect behind trading: oneself. Stop learning from others' success, and instead study how they survive during the lows.
Pickle Cat: Trading discipline is not built through repetition
Pickle Cat says: Everyone says you need to first find a trading strategy and develop discipline so that you can make money. But this is the most absurd and misleading advice for retail investors. Discipline cannot be developed through repeated practice; it’s not like training for sports where you rely on repetition.
