Why do those who step away from trading become stronger, and why are traders lonely? If you choose to trade for a living, please take a few minutes to read this carefully.
For those who live by trading, loneliness is the ultimate destination. If you want to choose trading as a career, you must read this to the end and prepare your mind, because you are choosing to drink with loneliness for a lifetime. Loneliness is not solitude or emptiness; it is a height of thought, a realm of life, and it is precisely because of these realms that one becomes even more solitary. For veterans who have fought in the market for many years, they are well aware of this loneliness; they often wander alone between heaven and hell, bearing the pain of failure alone, while the joy of profit is at most a toast to the moon, making a shadow three people.
Because they know that all of this has come from their own efforts. Full-time traders are a group of lonely people; they think independently because there exists a larger spiritual world in their minds. They are not unwilling or do not want to share their journey with others, but rather because others cannot understand, and it is useless to say it. Why is that? First, you will find that family members often find it difficult to understand and support such a choice. The concept of full-time trading has not yet been widely accepted; living by trading means choosing a path that is destined to be fraught with difficulties. Three years, five years later, even if successful, family members may take it for granted and not understand the pressure you have endured. And if unfortunately you fail, family members may think you are not doing a proper job, perhaps saying you are useless. Secondly, trading forces you to fight against human nature at all times. In this process, you will experience fluctuations that exceed what an ordinary person can experience in decades or even a lifetime. This is a process of reshaping oneself. After years of honing, your perspective and problem-solving approach will be different from others, the essence of things will become clearer, and this insight will gradually make you drift further away from others.
Just like a warrior who crawls out of the trenches, they have witnessed the brutality of the battlefield, but how can those who have never experienced it understand? Therefore, your family and friends will feel that you are becoming more and more strange; in fact, there are fewer and fewer people who can understand you and connect with you. In the end, the communication you have with like-minded friends will also decrease. Traders who have fought in the market for many years are all tough individuals who have carved their own paths; they all have their own trading methods and are only loyal to their own systems, showing little interest in others' methods. Moreover, every trader's philosophy is different, so when they occasionally communicate, there is not much they can discuss.
The low period of trading is also accompanied by something—severe depression. Additionally, the old worldview has completely shattered. There is also the abandonment, doubt, and misunderstanding from almost everyone. In trading, one may fall into despair and madness: crying, self-isolation, bitter laughter, hallucinations, unwillingness, anger, despair, and other negative emotions and mindsets. No one can articulate this; only self-rescue is possible. So I hope you are prepared, and I wish all traders a smooth journey!
