I once thought trading was a shortcut to wealth, but later I realized it's more like a long game against oneself. Here, there are no eternal winners, only constantly evolving practitioners.
Over the years, the market has taught me not only techniques but also a profound understanding of human nature, risk, and discipline. From blindly following trends to establishing systems, from emotional trading to mechanical execution, every step is accompanied by pain and growth.
What I want to share is not a 'guaranteed winning secret', but the real insights of a lonely trader.
"The market has always been fair; it never punishes mistakes but will continuously repeat the lessons until you learn them."
[There is no 'holy grail' in trading, and the market has no 'secrets.']
You think the methods to make money are hidden in some book, but in fact, everything is laid out in plain sight: market trends, support and resistance, capital management, personal execution ability; trading is just these simple things done repeatedly to perfection.
[Predicting the future is not as good as managing the present.]
Those who guess market ups and downs every day either end up blowing their accounts or getting slapped in the face. Trading is not about predictions, but execution. You don't know whether the next trade will be profitable or a loss, but you know that after long-term execution of rules, the probability is on your side.
[Let profits run, let losses stop.]
Everyone wants to 'earn steadily' when they first enter the market, but the truth is, you must accept losses to truly make money. Losses are not scary; enduring losses is what’s scary; profits do not come from frequent trading, but from one right trade that captures enough profit.
The closer you get to the market, the easier it is to be consumed by it.
Staring at the market every day, trading frequently, and constantly trying to catch every fluctuation will only make you more anxious and unable to control yourself. The truly profitable people understand how to keep a distance from the market and learn to wait, so they can earn their share of the market movements.
[True masters are very 'bored' and can endure loneliness and solitude.]
Trading has never been an exciting thing; the more stable the profit, the more tedious the trading becomes. The rules remain unchanged, execution is consistent, not influenced by market emotions, not euphoric from profits, nor collapsing from losses—they are just disciplined executors.
[Trading is a marathon; living longer is more important than running faster.]
You don't need to be the fastest in the market; you just need to outlive others a bit longer. Those who blow up their accounts are not necessarily not smart, but they just didn't survive. Good risk control, managing drawdowns, and ensuring you always qualify to stay in the market—time is the strongest compounding interest.
Finally, I want to say: the essence of trading is to continuously cultivate oneself. The market will not give you more money just because you do well, nor will it take care of you just because you worked hard. The market won't change; you can only change yourself.
It's not technology that makes money, but cognition; it's not methods, but execution. If you truly understand these, you no longer need anyone's guidance because the market has taught you everything.#加密市场反弹 #波段交易策略
