Under the spotlight of the capital market, human nature always reveals contradictions inadvertently: when an account shrinks by a hundred thousand, catching a glimpse of another's million loss can strangely bring comfort.

But when a profit of a hundred thousand is credited, witnessing a colleague's million gain can instantly breed nameless jealousy. In this absurd drama of self-play, the numbers remain steadfast, yet emotions fluctuate like a roller coaster—at its core, it is merely the ghost of comparison lurking in the shadows.

It should be noted that the opponent at the trading desk is never the investor in the neighboring seat. When one's gaze is fixated on the rise and fall of others' accounts, it is essentially rewriting one's own life using someone else's script. That moment of secret joy at another's massive loss has already exposed a blind spot in perception: the market never shows mercy because of your schadenfreude; when envying others' windfall, one should be more alert—behind every excess return, the price of perception is secretly marked.

The true wisdom of trading lies in building a firewall of cognition:

Isolate the noise: others' profits and losses are ultimately just a game of adding and subtracting numbers on paper, unrelated to you. Just as a mountaineer does not feel relief at another's fall, nor does he feel anxious at another's summit.

Anchor strategies: every trade should be an execution unit of a precise plan. Just as a chess player must observe the whole board before making a move, the increase or decrease of positions should be measured by trend lines, not mirrored by others' accounts.

Tame the inner demons: Mr. Market never carries the sedan chair for competitors, nor does he sympathize with those who revel in others' misfortunes. When the tide of emotions recedes, only a clear trading logic can guard the beach of wealth.

Remember: the trading desk is not an arena, and the account balance is not a leaderboard.

The energy consumed in comparison could have been transformed into focus for trend analysis; the emotions stirred by others' gains and losses should have been sedimented into nutrients for strategy iteration. When the joys and sorrows of others no longer disturb your heartstrings, your wealth story will gradually unfold in a clear trading context.
