I once treated contracts like a printing press, only to later understand that they are more like a mirror exposing demons, revealing greed, fear, and luck in their entirety.
There are no invincible generals in trading, only snakes that continuously shed their skin.
Over the years, the market has taught me lessons with real money that are far more complex than just a few candlesticks.
It forces me to admit:
—— Trends won’t reverse just because you are fully invested,
—— Stop-losses won’t be paused because you hesitate,
—— Accounts won’t turn profitable just because you pray.
From listening to news and following influencers, to writing down my own trading rules;
From being anxious after a day without trades, to being calm after a week without orders,
Every step is a restart after a health bar resets to zero.
[The market has no secret doors, nor does it have a holy grail]
All answers are clearly priced on the charts:
Where the support is, where the resistance is, how much position is safe,
Yet most people are blind to it, insisting on looking for 'wealth codes' in the comments.
[Rather than divining the future, it’s better to manage the present]
Guessing the direction correctly ten times doesn’t compare to one time of holding a losing position to liquidation.
True trading isn’t about 'I’m optimistic,' it’s about 'I have a plan.'
The plan clearly states:
Enter on triggers, cut losses on breakouts, push profits, and spend the rest of the time watching the sea.
[Let profits run, let losses be taken away]
Don’t always think about 'locking in profits,'
What truly creates a gap is those few trades that make profits roll;
And don’t fantasize about 'holding on,'
99% of the abyss is due to unwillingness to acknowledge that moment of misjudgment.
