It’s almost the one-year anniversary of entering this circle. It feels like the memory is still stuck on that night of the TRB surge and crash on New Year's Day. It was also that night that made me realize that in this circle, I can earn money that I wouldn't make in my entire life of serious work. Back then, I was at the square looking at this post and then that 'teacher's' post, casually and fomo-ing to open positions, fantasizing about waking up to profits multiplying my principal a few times, being able to buy new phones for my parents, taking them on vacation, and being able to take my beloved girl on trips...
But reality is ultimately ruthless. All the money I earned during my beginner's protection period has been harvested. In the trading teacher's group, I see people taking out loans to gamble. After blowing up their accounts, who cares about your survival? Learning by myself might be a better choice. Be responsible for myself and for my money.
Life is like a difficult journey; I am just a traveler. This market doesn’t need so many profit-makers. Those who fantasize about making crazy profits like the trading teachers are mostly sent to hell. I ask myself, should KOL really be like this? After so much ecology, isn’t it all just about trading coins? Perhaps true feelings cannot be retained, only strategies win people’s hearts.
This spring, I decided to drop out of school. I’m glad I have open-minded parents supporting me. Since then, I have been studying with great seriousness. I have learned all the trading courses I could find in the market more than once and have slowly started to shift towards the international futures market. Despite putting in so much effort, my current trading results are still just breaking even. It makes me wonder: should I exit the market?
I think I shouldn't. The journey of the Tang monk to obtain scriptures faced eighty-one trials, and in the end, he succeeded but still faced the last trial of the sea turtle. I don't know how many people will see this post. I dedicate this writing to commemorate my 2024, wishing for a better 2025 for all of us.
