It's easy to say—trading can make money. But only those who truly immerse themselves understand how tough this path can be.

The data is clear: 90% of people can't make it through the first few years. It's not that they're not smart, but trading simply isn't suitable for everyone. Want to know if you can do it? Only by trying with real money will it count.

Start with small amounts. Don't go all-in right away—that's the most basic kindness you can show yourself. Take your time to explore, find your own trading rhythm and style, until you can match the market's temperament. This process can take anywhere from one or two years to five or six years or even longer.

If, after many years, you still can't stick with it and your mindset collapses, then maybe the role of a trader isn't right for you. Instead of forcing it, it's better to gracefully turn away and find something you truly love. After all, staying in a position that doesn't belong to you will only make things more painful.
