In life, we will encounter many difficulties, and many obstacles we can overcome. However, when we choose the path of trading, we find that there is one hurdle that is always difficult to surpass, known as unity of knowledge and action or execution ability. Its essence is "thinking but not doing." If you have already mastered this, congratulations, you have entered the ranks of the successful; if you have not yet achieved this, then this seemingly simple hurdle may become a lifelong heartache and regret.

Challenges in Trading
In trading, many people strive for profit, but the successful ones are always in the minority. Most people ultimately suffer losses and become failures in trading. There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is that many people face the same common problem: insufficient execution ability. Ultimately, failure often stems from "thinking without doing." Reflecting on your mistakes in trading, isn't it precisely due to a lack of effective execution?
Trading is not actually complicated; simply put, it is "big fish eating small fish." Since opportunities exist in the market, you will choose to participate; otherwise, why trade at all? Every time you place an order, the market will inevitably generate trends and movements, but in the process of trend formation, there will always be fluctuations and panic. These fluctuations, whether in profit or loss, will inevitably bring psychological gaps, with the wave changes from low to high and then from high to low being a process of wealth redistribution.
Technology and Execution Ability
In trading, moving averages are a commonly used tool by many investors. Every historical wave and every market movement follows the rules of moving averages. However, despite everyone knowing this, why do losses still occur frequently? The problem does not lie in a lack of knowledge, but in a lack of execution ability. Even after experiencing dozens, hundreds, or even more losses, many people still fail to identify the real issues. In fact, there are only two reasons for losses: entering a position when one shouldn't and failing to close a position when one should.
Solutions and Mindset
In the face of this dilemma, some may think it is hopeless. However, all solutions must ultimately be put into action. Even having heard many theories of success does not mean everyone can succeed. What truly matters is to take immediate action and manage your hands well, regardless of your reasons for choosing to trade. From that moment on, your life is destined to be anything but calm. Before achieving stable profits, you will endure countless hardships.
In this process, you need to constantly assess your courage, resilience, faith, wisdom, and persistence. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as there is still capital in hand, there will always be a way out. You hope to be rewarded for your past efforts and are unwilling to let everything go to waste. In days intertwined with despair and pain, you may experience countless sleepless nights, regretting your initial choices.
Perseverance and Growth
You once thought you had found the key to unlocking the door to wealth, but ultimately discovered it was a dreamlike pursuit. Making money always seems just a little out of reach, leading you to doubt whether you are just a gambler. However, for you, trading is not just a profession but a lifelong pursuit. You firmly believe that your sincerity and persistence can touch the heavens.
Although the market is cruel, as long as you possess enough skills, wisdom, and pursuit, you can still survive and grow on this path. Although the success rate is extremely low, those who ultimately succeed are still rare. In the face of reality, do you still have the courage to persist? Life is like walking on thin ice; can you reach the other side?
Through continuous reflection and summarization, we can gradually improve our execution ability and thus achieve success in trading.
