I once thought trading was a shortcut to getting rich, but later I realized it is more like a long self-game. Here, there are no eternal winners, only practitioners who continuously evolve.
In these years, the market has taught me not only techniques but also a deep understanding of human nature, risk, and discipline. From blindly following trends to establishing my own system, from emotional trading to mechanical execution, every step of growth has been extremely painful, and the cost is heavy.
What I want to share is not a 'secret', but the true insights of someone who has been there.
[There is no 'Holy Grail' in trading, and there are no 'secrets' in the market]
You think the way to make money is hidden in some book, but in fact, everything is out in the open: market trends, support and resistance, position management, execution; trading is about repeatedly doing these simple things to perfection.
[Managing the present is better than predicting the future]
Those who guess the market's ups and downs every day end up either blowing up their accounts or feeling lost. Trading is not about prediction; it’s about execution. You don't know if the next trade will be a gain or a loss, but you know that after strictly executing mature trading rules over the long term, the win rate will tend to stabilize.
[Let profits run, and stop losses]
Everyone who enters the market wants to 'make money steadily', but the reality is, you must accept losses to truly make money. Losses are not scary; stubbornly holding onto losses is what is scary.
[The closer you are to the market, the easier it is to be swallowed by it]
Staring at the market every day, trading frequently, and constantly trying to catch every fluctuation will only make you more anxious and lose control. Those who truly make money understand the importance of keeping a distance from the market and learning to wait in order to earn their part of the market.
[Real masters are often 'bored' and can endure loneliness and solitude]
Trading is never an exciting thing; the more stable the profits, the more boring the trading becomes. The rules remain unchanged, the execution is consistent, not swayed by market emotions, neither elated by profits nor devastated by losses; they are just disciplined executors.
[Trading is a marathon; living longer is more important than running faster]
You don’t need to be the fastest runner in the market; you just need to outlast others. Those who blow up their accounts are not unintelligent; they just didn't survive. Good risk control, managing drawdowns, ensuring you qualify to stay in the market; time is the strongest compound interest.
Finally, I want to say: the essence of trading is to constantly cultivate oneself. The market will not reward you with extra money just because you perform well, nor will it take care of you just because you work hard. The market will not change; you can only change yourself.
It is not the technique that makes money, but the cognition: it is not the method, but the execution. If you really achieve these, you no longer need anyone's guidance, because the market has taught you everything.
