Spoiled by high-risk to reward ratio. Recently, my trading model has been frequently signaling low-risk to reward opportunities, but I instinctively reject such opportunities as soon as I see them. The problem is, I have been deeply "exploited" by those attractive high R:R setups—if the risk to reward doesn't meet the standard, I simply can't let go of the trade. This over-filtering is causing me to miss many opportunities. I need to adjust my trading mindset and break this dependency pattern. Sometimes, consistent small wins can also grow the account.

This is greediness, haha. I've been through it too. After experiencing high R and tasting the sweetness, I looked down on small market fluctuations, which ended up causing me to miss out on quite a few stable profits.

Haha, this really hits the mark. High R:R is as addictive as drugs; you can't go back to the days of low R. --- Honestly, accumulating small wins sounds easy but is hard to do. Mental preparation really tests a person. --- The feeling of being exploited is incredible. Now I look down on anything with a 1:2 ratio. --- Isn't this the common problem in trading? Greed is cultivated, and then nothing is enough. --- Must break this bad habit, or you'll really just watch opportunities slip away. --- Stability > excitement. No one believes it when you say that, but account numbers don't lie. --- Got stuck, brother. Changing your mindset is even harder than changing your strategy. --- Low R has its own flavor, but the key is not to be stubborn and wait for high R to appear. --- Spoiled fingers just can't quit this bad habit. Rationality and desire are always at war. --- Breaking the dependency pattern sounds easy, but execution is the real test.

Haha, this is the greed disease. Once you've tasted the sweet fruit of high multiples, you can't go back.
