If you want to make a living from trading, you must read this article to the end.
Why do those who can step away from trading become stronger? Why are traders destined to be lonely? If you really choose to make a living from trading, take a few minutes to calm down and read this thoroughly, and prepare yourself mentally as best as you can—because essentially, this is a choice to accompany loneliness for a lifetime.
The loneliness here is not about being alone or feeling lonely, but rather a height of thought, a realm of life. It is precisely because one has reached such a realm that they become increasingly lonely. For seasoned veterans who have fought in the market for many years, this loneliness has long become the norm: they often wander alone between the paradise and hell of profit and loss, enduring the pain of failure alone, and even the joy of profit can often only be shared with the moonlight, making it seem as if there are three people. After all, they know that all these achievements are earned step by step by themselves.
Full-time traders are mostly solitary wanderers. They are accustomed to independent thinking, with a broader spiritual world in their minds. It is not that they do not want to share their journey, but that others find it hard to truly understand; speaking of it is often in vain. This barrier often starts with those around them: family members usually find it difficult to understand and support this choice. Full-time trading has not yet become a widely recognized profession, and choosing this path is destined to face numerous obstacles. Even if they succeed after three to five years, family may take it for granted and fail to see the pressure behind it; if unfortunately they fail, they are more likely to be labeled as 'not doing the right thing' and be criticized as worthless.
More importantly, trading is essentially a continuous struggle with human nature. In this process, you will experience fluctuations that far exceed those of ordinary people for decades—this is a journey of reshaping oneself. After years of honing, your perspective and way of dealing with things will become unique, enabling you to see the essence of things more clearly. However, this insight will also quietly distance you from those around you.
Just like a warrior who crawls out of the trenches, having experienced the brutality of the battlefield, how can those who have not gone through it understand? Thus, family and friends may feel that you are becoming increasingly 'strange', and those who can truly understand you and connect with you become fewer. Even among like-minded traders, there are few who can communicate deeply: seasoned veterans forged in the market all have their unique trading systems, are only loyal to their own systems, and are not very interested in others' methods; coupled with differing philosophies, occasional exchanges are unlikely to resonate much.
The loneliness of traders is never intentional. This path, when walked to the end, can only coexist with loneliness.
The low point of trading often comes with deeper challenges: severe depression, a complete collapse of old values, and the doubts, misunderstandings, and even abandonment from almost everyone. You may fall into despair and madness: crying, isolation, grim laughter, hallucinations, overwhelmed by negative emotions such as unwillingness, anger, and despair. No one can listen, and in the end, you can only rely on yourself to get through it.
Therefore, if you truly choose this path, please be fully prepared. I wish every trader on the road can move forward smoothly.#加密市场回调 $BTC
