Maybe it will come in the next second, maybe it will never come.

If you want to make a living from trading, loneliness is both the cost and the practice.
The freest profession in the world is that of a trader, where you control your own time and don’t have to care about others' opinions. Yet the most painful profession in the world is still that of a trader, who faces immense psychological pressure daily, walking alone on a thorny path with no way back. No one truly understands what you are going through, and few are willing to listen to your struggles and silence behind the profits and losses. For those seasoned veterans who have fought in the market for years, loneliness has long become the norm. Too many times they have wandered between heaven and hell, and have long since become accustomed to silently healing when losing money, and toasting alone when making money. They enjoy moments of calm, but they never show off, as they understand that this is the reward earned through their daily persistence year after year. There is no luck, only the accumulation of effort. Mature traders are actually a group of people with extremely rich spiritual worlds. They think independently and often remain silent in the world of logic and cognition, not because they are unwilling to share with others, but because even if they speak, few would truly understand. Their occasional exchanges are more about broadening ideas rather than guiding each other in trading, because they all understand that real trading decisions can only be borne by themselves. Loneliness is not about being lonely but is a height of cognition, and because of this, they are destined to be more lonely. So, if you want to embark on the path of making a living through trading, be sure to prepare yourself mentally first. You must face the family’s lack of understanding, as full-time trading is still not recognized by the public in the country. Spending all day at home watching the market and researching trends, even if you make money, is taken for granted by your family! But once you lose money, it marks the beginning of being labeled as 'not having a proper job'. Secondly, you will be shaped by the market into a different way of thinking through constant losses and reflections, becoming more sensitive, rational, and cautious. The way you see problems changes, and so does the way you handle things. You will gradually find that the number of people you can truly connect with becomes fewer. Even family and friends find it hard to empathize with the new experiences you go through daily! Finally, even among like-minded veteran traders, there is not much to discuss, as everyone has their own system and beliefs, respecting each other but rarely intersecting. You will become increasingly aware that this path must be walked alone! Yet even so, we still choose this lonely road. Because we know that loneliness is both a cost and a practice, it transforms us and helps us see ourselves clearly, forcing us to learn to grow amidst the storms. Our ultimate goal in trading is to make life freer and more fulfilling, rather than more painful and closed off. Therefore, we should learn to balance loneliness with passion on this path! Cherish the people around you, and feel the small but real happiness in life. Only then does trading become meaningful, and life becomes worth anticipating.
