Once, I thought contracts were a shortcut to getting rich, but later I realized - it's more like a long game with myself.


In the market, there are no eternal winners, only constantly evolving practitioners.

In these years, what the market has taught me is not just K-lines and indicators, but also human nature, risk, and discipline.
From blindly following trends to establishing my own trading system; from making emotional trades to executing mechanically—every step is accompanied by pain and growth.

💬 The market has always been fair; it doesn't punish mistakes, it will keep teaching you the same lesson over and over again until you learn.



1️⃣ There is no "Holy Grail" in trading, and there are no "secrets" in the market.
The way to make money is not found in some secret book. Trends, support and resistance, position management, execution ability—these are the things to do repeatedly and master.

2️⃣ Predicting the future is not as good as managing the present.
Those who guess price fluctuations every day will ultimately either face liquidation or get slapped in the face. Trading is not about prediction, but about execution. You never know whether the next trade will be profitable or not, but you can know that — if you consistently follow the rules in the long run, the odds will be in your favor.

3️⃣ Let profits run, let losses stop.
Losses are not scary; what is scary is stubbornly holding on. Profit is not made through frequent trading, but by making one correct trade that captures enough profit.

4️⃣ Keep your distance and learn to wait.
Staring at the market every day and making frequent trades will only make you more anxious. Those who truly make money know how to keep their distance from the market, endure being in cash, and wait for the market conditions that belong to them.

5️⃣ True masters are all very "bored".
Their trades are monotonous, rules are unchanging, execution is stable, not swayed by market sentiment, neither elated by profits nor devastated by losses.

6️⃣ Living longer is more important than running faster.
Trading is a marathon; those who get liquidated are not necessarily unwise, but they did not survive. Control your drawdown to ensure you have the right to stay at the table for a long time – time is the greatest compounding factor.



The market will not give you an extra penny just because you work hard; it will not change, you can only change yourself.
It's not the technology that makes money, but the cognition; it's not the method, but the execution.
When you truly realize this, you no longer need anyone's guidance—because the market has taught you everything.
