I used to think that trading was a shortcut to getting rich, but later I realized that it was more like a long game with myself. There are no eternal winners here, only practitioners who are constantly evolving.
What I want to share is not a "secret to winning", but the true feelings of a lonely trader: "The market has always been fair. It never punishes mistakes, but it will keep teaching you again and again until you learn."
[There is no "holy grail" in trading, and there is no "secret" in the market]
You think the way to make money is hidden in a book, but in fact everything is on the table - market trends, support pressure, fund management, personal execution, trading is to do these simple things repeatedly and to the extreme.
[Predicting the future is not as good as managing the present]
People who speculate on the rise and fall of the market every day will either blow up their positions or be slapped in the face. Trading is not prediction, but execution. You don't know the profit or loss of the next order, but after long-term execution of the rules, you can clearly know which side the probability stands on.
[Let profits run and stop losses]
People who have just entered the market want to "make money steadily", but the fact is that only by accepting losses can you really make money. Losses are not scary, but bearing losses is scary; profits do not rely on frequent transactions, but on one right transaction to get enough profits.
The closer you are to the market, the easier it is to be swallowed by the market. Watching the market every day, frequent transactions, and trying to catch every fluctuation will only make people more anxious and unable to control their operations. People who really make money know how to keep a distance from the market and learn to wait, so that they can earn their own market.
[Real masters are all "boring" and can endure loneliness and solitude]
Trading is not an exciting thing. For people who make stable profits, trading is often boring. The rules do not change, the execution is not chaotic, they are not affected by market sentiment, they are not ecstatic because of profits, and they do not collapse because of losses - they are just disciplined executors.
Finally, I want to say:
It is not technology that makes money, but cognition; it is not methods, but execution. If you really understand these, you no longer need anyone to guide you, because the market has taught you everything.
