Trading Insights: The Path from Loss to Awakening

Trading Insights: The Path from Loss to Awakening

The market is a mirror, reflecting not only the fluctuations of candlestick charts but also the greed and fear of human nature.

When I first entered the market, I thought trading was a game for 'smart people.' As long as I found the 'holy grail' indicator or insider information, I could become rich quickly. So I traded frequently, chasing every seemingly opportunistic fluctuation, but the result was a continuous shrinkage of my account. Those sleepless nights watching the market made my emotions surge with the minute chart, ultimately leading to nothing but exhaustion and confusion.

It wasn't until one day when a heavy-position trade resulted in a single-day loss of over 30% that I truly realized: the market never rewards the brave, only the disciplined. I began to reflect on my trading behavior and discovered that the root of my losses was not a lack of technical skills, but rather a loss of control over my mindset—greed led to heavy positions, fear led to holding onto losing trades, and luck led to trading against the trend.

Later, I forced myself to adhere to three iron rules:

1. Stop-loss is the first lesson of survival: the speed at which you admit your mistakes determines how long you can survive.

2. Waiting is more important than trading: 80% of profits come from 20% of high-probability opportunities; the rest of the time, just observe.

3. Slow is fast: the miracle of compound interest belongs to those who can control their drawdowns, not short-term profit seekers.

Now, I still incur losses, but each trade is within a plan. What the market has taught me is not only technical analysis but also self-awareness: the real opponent is not institutions or big players, but the inner shadow that is eager to prove itself.
