In fact, the gap between you and the so-called 'big players' in trading does not lie in trading ideas, trading systems, or trading philosophies.

These are actually quite superficial things, and an average person can master them after studying seriously for about three years, but the tuition paid to the market is indispensable.

The real 'gap' lies in the size of the capital; the scale of the account is exponentially positively correlated with the win rate.

In other words, the larger your capital, the higher your trading win rate will be, just as money flows to those who are not short of it, and love flows to those who are not short of love.

The following data is quite harsh, but it is also a fact:

500,000 is the dividing line for profit and loss; accounts with over 500,000 have an overall profit rate exceeding 90%. Accounts with over 5 million control 66% of market wealth, and the top 6% of large accounts contribute 91% of the market's profits.

On the other hand, accounts below 10,000 (23.2%) have essentially been wiped out, while the top 93% of retail investors contribute 99% of market liquidity but only hold 10% of the wealth, with a loss rate as high as 90%.

It truly is a case of being harvested like leeks, cut down time and again.

There's no way around it; retail investors, limited by the size of their capital, can only frequently chase highs and sell lows.

Meanwhile, large players can casually earn 10% from fluctuations, which is the equivalent of a retail investor's earnings over ten years or even a lifetime. When only making trades with certainty, the mindset is completely different; in fact, as long as large funds don't act recklessly, it is basically very hard to incur losses.
