In this market for a long time, you will definitely see two kinds of people. One night they multiply their investment by 10 times, celebrated as "geniuses"; screenshots of the square flying everywhere, as if the next stop is the peak of life.
The other kind, within a week, loses all their capital quietly, exiting without a sound, even their profile picture has turned gray.
Many people think their difference lies in technology, judgment, and talent.
But the more I observe, the clearer it becomes: the real difference is never about whether one can make money,
but whether they know which red lines must never be crossed.
Those who experience a sudden surge are not necessarily smarter than others,
they just happened to hit the market trend;
but once they mistake this "luck"
for ability, and add more next time,
they are already laying the groundwork for a disastrous ending.
And those old players who can survive,
often have a few almost "anti-human" strict rules:
not fully invested, not heavily betting on a single direction;
not gambling on extreme market conditions, not betting their entire fortune on a single judgment;
allowing for mistakes, but not allowing a single mistake to be fatal.
Sounds boring, right?
But it is exactly these "boring red lines"
that separate them from gamblers.
I have seen too many cases: their skills are not bad,
they can logically explain one set after another,
yet they fall due to one habit——
the more they earn, the more they float away, the more they lose, the more they endure.
The most cruel part of the market is this:
it will not go easy on you just because you have won before.
True masters are not those who have never made big money,
but those who can still maintain boundaries when making money.
