If one day I completely withdraw from the trading circle.
Maybe I will sit by the sea, watching the sunset, and say to my friends beside me——
"The market never treats anyone unfairly; it just teaches you to grow in different ways."
In the first few years of starting, I was more emotional than the market.
A single candlestick could stir my emotions; I was excited when it rose and anxious when it fell.
At that time, I thought trading relied on inspiration, insider information, and indicators.
Only later did I realize that true confidence comes from surviving at the edge of the abyss time and again.
The first thing I want to say is:
The market has no secrets, only execution.
Stop fantasizing about some "holy grail strategy" or "sure-win formula."
Trends, position, stop-loss, discipline—these four elements,
only a few can truly master them to perfection.
The second thing:
You don’t know where the next candlestick will go, but you can decide how to respond.
Controlling position and executing rules are more important than guessing the direction.
Because what truly determines the outcome is never judgment, but reaction.
The third thing:
Losses are a lesson; holding onto losses is the real illness.
At first, I was most afraid of losing money, always thinking about averaging down to recover.
Stop-loss is not cowardice; it's the only way to survive.
Losses are not to be feared; stubbornly holding on is true suicide.
The fourth thing:
Many people watch the market every day, led by emotional fluctuations.
Chasing when it rises, buying when it falls, the result is either a margin call or depression.
The fifth thing:
Real profitable trading is very boring.
There’s no passion, no excitement, only repetition and execution.
Their secret is not being smart, but being stable.
The sixth thing:
Controlling drawdowns and protecting capital is more important than making it to the peak.
Those who live long enough ultimately win.
It is only now that I understand,
It's not the market testing you; it's you testing yourself.
Techniques can be learned, rules can be copied,
But the mindset must be understood by oneself.
If that day I really achieve success and retire,
I won't brag about how much money I've made,
I will only say:
"I've finally learned to do less, do it steadily, and do it for the long term."
In the end, you will find——
It's never the method that makes money, but the mindset.
The market won't change; the only thing you can change is yourself.
