If you want to make a living from trading, loneliness is both a cost and a practice.
The most free profession in the world is that of a trader, where time is in your control and you don’t have to look at anyone's face. But the most painful profession in the world is still that of a trader, who faces immense psychological pressure every day, walking alone on a thorny path with no way out. No one truly understands what you are going through, and few are willing to listen to your struggles and silence behind the gains and losses. For those seasoned veterans who have been in the market for years, loneliness has long become the norm. Too many times they have hovered between heaven and hell, and have become accustomed to silently healing when losing money, and celebrating alone when making money. They enjoy moments of calm, but never show off, because they know that this is the reward for their persistence day after day, year after year. There is no luck, only the accumulation of effort. Mature traders are actually a group of people with extremely rich inner worlds. They think independently and often remain silent in the world of logic and cognition, not because they are unwilling to share with others, but because even if they speak, few can truly understand. Their occasional exchanges are more about broadening ideas rather than guiding each other's trades, as they all understand that real trading decisions must be borne by themselves. Loneliness is not solitude but a height of cognition, and because of this, they are destined to be more alone. So, if you want to walk the path of making a living from trading, please be mentally prepared first. You have to face the family’s difficulty in understanding, as full-time trading is still not recognized by the public in the country. Spending all day at home watching the market and researching trends, even if you make money, is taken for granted by family members! But once you lose money, it marks the beginning of being labeled as 'unemployed'. Secondly, you will be shaped by the market into a thinking pattern that is different from ordinary people through constant losses and reflections. You will become more sensitive, more rational, and more cautious. The way you see problems changes, and the way you handle things also changes. You will gradually find that there are fewer and fewer people you can truly connect with. Even family and friends find it hard to empathize with the new paths you experience every day! Finally, even among like-minded old traders, there is not much to talk about. Everyone has their own systems and beliefs, respecting each other but rarely intersecting. You will become increasingly aware that this path must be walked alone! Yet, even so, we still choose this lonely road. Because we know that loneliness is both a cost and a practice; it allows us to be reborn and see ourselves clearly, forcing us to learn to grow in the midst of storms. The ultimate goal of our trading is to make life freer and more fulfilling, not more painful and closed off. Therefore, we should learn to balance loneliness and passion on this path! Cherish the people around us and feel the small yet real happiness in life. Only then will trading be meaningful, and life be worth looking forward to.
