> When a person has higher peaks to climb in their heart, they will not care about the swamps beneath their feet; they may face the pains that are difficult for ordinary people to bear in the calmest manner.

For me personally, the greatest growth in trading is learning to maintain a calm mind, to accept market uncertainty, to accept losses, to accept missing out, and to accept the market reversing after being stopped out.

How many times have I struggled in the ups and downs of profits and losses? When making a profit feels as easy as drinking water, at that moment, subjective consciousness dominates, and I become very confident, thinking that the market is developing according to my script. I experience FOMO and worry about missing any opportunity to make money, but the decisions made during such moments are often wrong.

Then, I suddenly fall into a trough during an unexpected pullback, starting to doubt myself, with emotions becoming anxious and low. My operations begin to distort; even small fluctuations start to affect my inner self, and I struggle and linger in such a repetitive cycle.

Every stop-loss feels like an invisible knife, cutting through our greed and fear; every missed opportunity feels like endless regret, reminding us that perfection is merely accidental, and missing out is the norm.

Gradually, I understand that to become a mature trader, these are hurdles to overcome. Stop-losses and missed opportunities are like the swamps beneath our feet, not getting stuck in the present but steadfastly moving towards higher peaks. Stop-losses are the tickets for every trade; risking limited losses for significant profits is the core of profitability. Missing out is even simpler; missing out does not incur losses, the market will not close, and trading does not rely on a single opportunity to become rich; it requires sustained profits accumulated over time.

The market does not favor anyone; there are only rules and probabilities. Learning to maintain a calm mind means letting go of “self-attachment,” loosening the connection between self-worth and the profits and losses of each trade. Removing oneself from the swamp, like a calm observer, rationally analyzing the current situation rather than being swept into the whirlpool of emotions. It is a profound self-reconciliation, accepting human weaknesses, and then using discipline to tame them.

Once I learned to maintain a calm mind, I could operate without being concerned about highs or lows, and I could act according to my heart because that heart is no longer troubled by short-term gains and losses, but instead gazes at the stars and the sea. $BTC $ETH $XRP #看懂K线 #以太坊生态回暖
