The hardest part of trading is not technology, but being yourself. If we had to rank the most difficult professions in the world, traders would definitely be at the forefront. Many people think that the difficulty lies in indicators, strategies, and pace... but in fact, these are only superficial. The truly cruel thing is that it is against your instincts at every critical stage. It doesn't provide you with stable feedback, doesn't offer standard answers, doesn't reward brute force, and doesn't forgive a fatal mistake. You thought you were playing against the market, only to realize in the end that what you really want to defeat is yourself. 1、 The first thing you lose is often not the principal, but your judgment. Profit and loss ≠ right or wrong. The profitable orders may not necessarily be correct, and the unprofitable orders may not necessarily be wrong. Luck is best disguised as ability. When the wind is favorable, you feel like you have "realized", but when the wind is unfavorable, you realize that the market was all cooperating with you before. The method of making money is often the most difficult to let go of. Many people are not beaten to death by the market, but are dragged alive by their own past successful experiences. 2、 The market is not a test paper, it never gives standard answers The market is a probability, not a theorem. Doctors and engineers are likely to be right, but trading is always a game of incomplete information. History rhymes, but it does not repeat itself as it is. Black Swan never makes appointments - a policy or a conflict can instantly reset years of accumulation. 3、 Trading specifically punishes' normal people ' Human nature pursues comfort, but trading forces you to do uncomfortable things: • Want to escape when losing → Must stop loss When making profits, if you want to run, you must seize it Everyone else rushes → You have to dare to empty your position Others are desperate → You must dare to bargain The most expensive ability is called waiting. Most people die from the inability to resist frequent trading. 4、 What truly determines whether you can survive is risk control, not courage. One heavy position, one no stop loss, and one emotional leverage are enough to reset all correct trades before. Risk control is not a remedy, it is a prerequisite for survival. It must think about it before entering: what if it's wrong? What is the maximum loss? Will I die if I make mistakes several times in a row? Human nature is most likely to pull you out of the rules when risk control is most needed. 5、 In the end of the transaction, it's not about skills, but about personality You have to press all the buttons yourself in the end. No one can bear the consequences for you. The market is a magnifying glass that magnifies your greed, fear, arrogance, and luck. Your biggest enemy is never the market, but yourself when your emotions are most intense. 6、 Why do the vast majority of people collapse without even entering the door? We only see the highlights of a few people, but we cannot see the silence of a large number of failures. This industry not only burns money, but also consumes time and mindset. Many people have not never won, but have not survived after winning. What truly crushes people is long-term consumption, doubt, and self doubt. Conclusion: The real filters for trading are not smart or hardworking people. It selects people who can still maintain long-term self-control, iteration, and survival in anti human, non-standard answers, and strong fluctuations. The hardest part of trading is never understanding the market, but understanding oneself and not letting the most impulsive and fragile self take over the steering wheel in every fluctuation. Finally, I have a message for everyone: Becoming someone worthy of making money is harder and more important than making money
