Why is it difficult for traders to hold positions when they are in profit?

In the field of trading, there are two core elements to achieving profitability: one is effectively controlling losses, i.e., "cutting losses," and the other is firmly grasping profitable positions to fully extract the market space, which correspond to defensive and offensive strategies, respectively. Defense is the foundation of trading and must be successfully executed every time, while offense can occasionally succeed, but its efficiency is equally critical. If defense is weak, it's like a bucket with a leak at the bottom; no matter how hard you try, it will never fill up with water. Similarly, if offensive efficiency is low, even if the market provides good conditions, it will be difficult to earn substantial profits.

However, many traders often struggle to hold positions when facing profits, thus missing out on significant trending markets. The reason for this lies in the fact that smooth trending markets are quite rare. Many trades that originally seemed poised for profit often fail to sustain momentum due to the instability of market fluctuations. Therefore, even when a trader's level and understanding have reached a certain height, the process of making money is still fraught with twists and turns. This is precisely the key distinction between successful traders and ordinary traders.

The reason trend strategies can work in the market is precisely because they do not succeed every time. It is those moments of frequent failure that weed out traders with insufficient understanding and weak faith. So, what would happen if we assume that every signal from a trend strategy could trigger a smooth trending market?
