Those who truly live by the market will eventually understand that the essence of this profession is cultivation rather than competition.
When you can continuously achieve expected results, what surges within is not excitement, but a sense of stopping.
The anxiety of those eager to prove themselves and swayed by emotions gradually fades away, just like the rocks revealed after the tide recedes. Clear and stable, mature participants do not deny their methods because of one season of poor harvest, nor do they blindly expand due to one season of bountiful yield. They understand that the market has fluctuations and cycles; what matters is to stick to the verified rhythm. The steady extension of the curve is more trustworthy than any single explosion.
The truest test in this field is whether you can maintain your original intention during several consecutive failures. True professionalism does not lie in how many opportunities you seize, but in remaining calm even when you miss opportunities.
When setbacks no longer shake you and smooth sailing no longer makes you proud, you have passed the test of mindset.
Those who ultimately persist have refined themselves into practitioners of the rules. Their advantage lies not in the precision of predictions, but in knowing that mistakes may happen yet still acting according to plan, demonstrating execution ability.
The more turbulent the market, the more they seem to rise and fall with the waves, yet they remain stable. In the end, you will understand that this path offers not illusory promises, but a way to understand oneself. This path is destined to be lonely, but when you stop expecting miracles and no longer chase excitement, growing step by step, time will naturally provide the answers you deserve—those who truly live by the market.
