Someone asked, is training traders really expensive? The answer might surprise you—the most costly expense is not money.

Some people think that training traders is a 'money-burning game', but the reality is that some can grasp the basics in three months, while others may spend three years still trapped in a quagmire of losses. This disparity has nothing to do with IQ; even math geniuses can be swayed by emotions in the ever-changing market and end up losing. I have seen talented novice traders who can make astonishingly accurate market predictions, yet when they lose 200 yuan, they angrily slam their keyboards, and when they make 500 yuan, they become overconfident and lose their composure. This 'rollercoaster' state dominated by emotions cannot be compensated for, no matter how much capital one has.

What truly 'burns' in training traders is actually time. After experiencing ten losses, can you still maintain calm and reflect on your trades? When your account hits zero three times, do you still have the courage to open a new position? The competition among traders has never been about how high the profit ceiling can be in the short term, but rather how long one can endure during the lows. Lacking this resilience and patience, even mastering numerous trading techniques amounts to nothing more than empty talk.

If you are planning to enter the trading field, it might be worth asking yourself: can you withstand the market's ups and downs over the long three years while maintaining a mindset that does not crumble?
