In the trading market, there is an interesting phenomenon worth pondering.
Those who make significant profits in a short period of time are often portrayed as having a certain personality—thinking about big gains every day. What’s the result? This mindset pushes people into a dead end of frequent trading. You start to feel that the money you earned before has already become yours, and even if you lose a little, you become impatient to recover it. This psychological state is the easiest to be wiped out by the market.
Conversely, those who experience long-term losses often split into two personalities—either completely letting go and trading recklessly, or being crushed by fear and not daring to make any moves. This intense emotional fluctuation can make people exhausted, anxious, and ultimately unable to escape the fate of being forced out.
So, the real opponent is not the market environment. It may seem like the environment is changing, but in reality, the biggest enemy has always been yourself. Those who survive are often those who have learned self-control. When you can control your hands and your mind, no matter how tumultuous the environment, your principal and profits cannot be taken away.

You're not wrong; the biggest enemy is the inner demon.

ngl this hits different... the self-control angle is literally what separates survivors from liquidation victims in my bootcamp cohorts

You're right, self-discipline is the strongest trading system.
---
Those chasing quick money always end up bankrupt, this wave is written fiercely.
---
Controlling your hand is really harder than anything...
---
When your mindset is blown, you simply can't listen, you have to suffer losses to understand.
---
Now I finally understand why the big shots say that doing nothing is the best operation.
---
People who lose money, you're right, there are only two extremes, no middle ground.
---
Your biggest opponent is yourself, this directly hits the heart.

It's just playing mind games with yourself.
Make a quick profit and get carried away; lose in the long run and break down. Ultimately, it's still a weakness of human nature.
The key is whether you can hold on to that clarity.

Being harsh is the most terrifying form of self-deception
---
Recently, I started thinking about doubling my floating profits, and I really deserve to be exposed
---
I can't control my hands anymore, I am already market fodder
---
The clear-headed people have long understood that surviving and exiting is winning
---
Frequent operations are really just giving money to the exchange
---
The most resilient during losses are actually those with stable mindsets, not technically skilled traders
---
It's easy to say but hard to do; who doesn't want self-control?
---
After making some money, I think I’ve understood it, but a single pullback can wipe it all out
