Recently, I often hear people in the circle say that short-term trading is easy to get trapped? Is this statement reliable?

To be honest, frequent buying and selling indeed carries considerable risks. When market volatility hits, who understands the feeling of cutting losses back and forth? Especially for players using high leverage in contracts, a single spike can wipe out the account completely.

That being said, some people make money through short-term trading. The key is whether you are sensitive enough to the market conditions and whether you can execute your stop-loss discipline. Many people get trapped not because their strategy is poor, but because their mindset collapses - they hesitate to run when they should, and are reluctant to enter when they should.

What do you think? Is short-term trading really about giving away money or picking up money?
