When you can really rely on trading to get by, you won't be overly excited; instead, you'll feel quite calm. You no longer rush to prove yourself to anyone, nor will you be led by the market's fluctuations. You clearly understand what you need to do, know when to take action, and when to wait. You don't fantasize about getting rich overnight, nor do you expect to achieve instant fame with a single trade. It's just like an old farmer: you plant when it's time to plant, wait when you need to wait, and harvest when it's time to harvest, all at your own pace.

Stabilizing your profits isn't about making a few successful trades; rather, it's about being able to withstand pressure even when the market is bad and you've faced several losses in a row, while still following your plan. Watching the gradually rising curve in your account, you won't have emotional highs and lows because of a day's fluctuations. In fact, those who can make a living from trading are not necessarily the best at making money; the most impressive aspect is their ability to endure losses and continue calmly.

Another very practical point is that you must ensure that the profits in your account are not due to luck, but rather from a solid strategy. It’s not about blind gambling or relying on feelings; everything is achieved step by step through strategy and rules. Therefore, you feel particularly grounded, and no matter how the market acts, you can endure it.

The most crucial thing is to stop fantasizing about trading providing you with a 'free life.' You understand that this profession is actually quite tough and lonely, but you have become accustomed to it and are willing to continue. You realize this is not a shortcut, but a path you genuinely acknowledge from the bottom of your heart.

Once you let go of those unrealistic fantasies about trading, what remains is a clear understanding and steady execution, at which point you can truly rely on it to get by.
