The market will not punish you, but it will certainly teach you.
Some say the market is the fairest teacher. It will not punish you for making mistakes, but it will repeatedly give you the same lesson until you truly learn.
There are no 'secrets' in trading, and the market has no 'shortcuts'.
Many people think that the method to make money is hidden in some mysterious book or held by top traders. But in fact, all the answers are out in the open: trends, support and resistance, money management, execution... The core of trading is simply executing these simple things to the extreme.
Instead of straining to predict, it’s better to focus on the present.
Those who try to guess the market's ups and downs every day often end up either facing liquidation or self-doubt. The key to trading is not in prediction, but in execution. You cannot control whether the next trade will be a profit or a loss, but you can ensure that by consistently adhering to your trading rules over the long term, your win rate will naturally be on your side.
Profit relies on patience, while loss requires decisiveness.
When entering the market, who doesn't want to 'guarantee profits'? But the truth of trading is that you must accept losses to truly make money. Losses themselves are not scary; what is scary is stubbornly holding onto losses without admitting defeat. True profitability comes not from frequent trading, but from catching the right opportunities and patiently holding onto profits.
The more frequently you watch the market, the faster you may lose.
Many people mistakenly believe that closely monitoring the market and frequently trading can improve their win rate. But the reality is that doing so will only make you more anxious and harder to control your hands. Those who truly make money often know how to maintain distance, waiting for the market to present opportunities rather than tirelessly chasing every fluctuation.
The more stable the trading, the more 'boring' life becomes.
True experts do not rely on passion and impulse, but on discipline and patience. For them, trading is a tedious process of repeatedly executing strategies—rules remain unchanged, mindset remains calm, not elated by profits nor devastated by losses. They are more like calm executors rather than impulsive gamblers.
Surviving longer in the market is more important than running fast.
Trading is like a marathon; the one who wins in the end is not the fastest runner, but the one who can endure and complete the whole course. Those who are eliminated by the market are not necessarily unwise, but they simply did not survive. True experts care not about short-term gains, but about how to control risks, maintain rhythm, and always keep themselves qualified to continue the game.
Lastly, I want to say: Trading is not the market testing you, but you refining yourself.
The market will not reward your diligence, nor will it treat you specially because you work hard. It remains unchanged; the only thing that can change is you.
If you are lost on your trading journey and don't know what to do next, follow me, and together we will find our rhythm in the cycle of bull and bear markets, no longer being the harvested chives!
