The Five Stages of a Trader
1. Bronze (Novice)
- Enthusiastic about short-term trading, chasing highs and lows
- Operates based on gut feeling, starts learning after losses
2. Silver (Technical Obsession)
- Obsessed with indicators (MACD, moving averages, etc.)
- Mistakenly believes that technicals = guaranteed profits, results still unstable
3. Gold (Fundamental Integration)
- Pays attention to industry trends, extends holding periods
- Discovering good projects ≠ making money immediately, starts building a trading system
4. Diamond (Systematic Trading)
- Strategy matures, but still experiences random losses
- Studies market psychology, enters the “self-game” phase
5. King (Mindset Victory)
- Accepts market uncertainty, overcomes greed and fear
- Does not pursue perfect trades, only operates within logical parameters
- Stable profit = 30% skills + 70% mindset
Which stage are you in now?
The ultimate truth:
There is no holy grail in the market; true strength is not about never losing, but about remaining calm in defeat and not getting carried away in victory.
