Looking at a profit ranking data, nine out of the top ten traders are engaged in short-term trading, with only one holding on stubbornly. What does this behind-the-scenes tell us? It reveals a harsh reality — for the vast majority of people, the way to make money is to seize those relatively certain opportunities, eat them one by one, and rely on compound interest to slowly grow the snowball.

Many beginners dream of turning things around through contract trading, hoping to reach the pinnacle of life. Wake up, that's almost impossible. Even if you get lucky and make a profit once, the longer you stay in this casino, the higher the chance of losing everything. Time will take all your chips away.

Where is the true way out? Build your own trading system. Don't expect any experts to selflessly teach you how to make money — those claiming they can help you earn are 99% just trying to take money from your pocket. Only by exploring, summarizing, and executing on your own can you survive longer.

Really, there are indeed many who make quick money through short-term trading, but few make it to the end. Damn, you still have to figure things out on your own; there are no shortcuts. Hoping to turn things around with a all-in bet? Dream on, time has already drained you dry. I don't believe any of those signal providers in the market; I'd rather explore on my own. Short-term trading is exciting, but the risks... I'm still too cautious.

Short-term eating, long-term养老, there's nothing wrong with that. But I think that guy who insists on holding also didn't lose money. To be honest, most people can't even hold out until compound interest takes off; their mentality collapses first. A single contract turn-around? Dream on. There are no undefeated generals in the casino. The most heartbreaking thing is that those who teach you how to make money also want to take your money. The waters in this industry are too deep. Develop your own system through practice; listening to others' hype is not as good as avoiding pitfalls yourself.

Nine short-term trades to one long-term trade. Frankly, it's still a game of probability. Most people can't hold out until the power of compound interest kicks in. Damn, I'm the kind of fool who dreams of turning things around overnight. Now I realize that time will eat away all the chips. Building a system sounds simple, but how many times do you have to blow up before you understand? I've blacklisted all those signal providers on the market. They're all bloodsuckers. That's right, surviving and walking out of the casino is the real victory. Don't be blinded by quick money. The 9 to 1 ratio is heartbreaking. Making money in the short term isn't because they're smarter, but because most people die quickly. Figuring it out on your own takes too much time, but this might really be the only way.
