I sit on the market, looking at the charts. About a thousand dollars have gone - I won't say it's tears, but it's not pennies either. And in this state, I catch myself thinking: what am I even looking for here? Money? Answers? Meaning? The opportunity to survive, to grow, to break free?
It seems we all come to the market with hope. Some for quick profit, some for a long-term strategy, some just want to control something in this chaos. And then we dive in headfirst: candles, percentages, leverage, minus 20%, plus 15% - and the head is already buzzing.
Why are we so fixated on numbers? Why is our focus on the numbers on the screen, rather than on what is happening inside us and around us?
Think about it: how many hours have you spent staring at the chart? How many thoughts have you dedicated to entries and exits, rather than to real people, events, and yourself?
This post is not about me being tired. And not about complaints. I just want to remind myself, and maybe you: behind the numbers is life. Behind the red candle is your evening. Behind a bad trade are your emotions. And no one will return either one to you.
To the question "how to earn here?" - I won't answer.
What to invest in? I don't know.
How to consistently take even small victories? No idea.
My profile won't give you ready-made solutions. But if you want to stop for a minute, exhale, just talk - welcome.
Because in this race, it's important to remember: you are not just a player, trader, or investor. You are a human being.
With your fears, victories, disappointments.
With what cannot be measured in percentages.
Hang in there. You are not alone. Victories come. Defeats teach. And life, despite everything, goes on - and that is already a value in itself.
