After so many years of being a trader, what have I gained?
What I have gained is not just tens of millions in assets.
Yes, I have achieved a state of 'not needing to work, financial freedom' in the eyes of others.
But in fact, this job has taught me a lot, especially this ability to 'completely take responsibility for myself.'
I have learned to make independent decisions and think deeply
In trading, all choices are made by oneself, and the gains and losses must be borne by oneself.
No one tells you when to enter the market, no one bears the losses from wrong trades, and no one takes care of your out-of-control emotions.
So I have become more decisive and more disciplined.
【The market is not wrong; no one can be blamed】, only 'where did I go wrong?'. When mistakes are made, review them; there are no excuses for losses.
Train emotional stability, try not to be anxious
In the beginning, I would also be led by the account curve in my emotions—
A little rise would make me feel like a god, while a little drop would lead to self-blame or even self-doubt.
【But if your emotions are unstable, you won't survive】
So I force myself to establish an emotional buffering mechanism:
Meditation, exercise, writing review journals, traveling, shopping... I have turned psychological stability into a habit. Now, I am indifferent to many things.
Always learning, always improving
Trading is a very high-concentration mental labor; it requires continuous input-judgment-execution-correction. Any link with unstable emotions or hesitant judgments can lead to losses.
It forces you to continuously learn and constantly upgrade your understanding.
【You need to understand business, finance, law, technology, and all aspects】
In recent years, I have continually studied macro trends, monetary policy, economic structures, AI, business models…
Trading has kept me improving, diligently learning how the world works.
I have gained true freedom
For me, freedom is not about 'lying flat', but rather:
Obtaining the right to choose through my own abilities, without relying on anyone, without needing to cater to anyone, and without any relationships to support me.
【True freedom in life is not just material freedom, but also spiritual freedom】 — The pace of my life, the city I live in, and my work hours are all decided by me. I can swipe my card for any luxury I want in an instant, and recently I even got my mom a new car.
I don't need connections, business cards, check-ins, meetings, or social gatherings; my life is clean, focused, and pure.
This freedom is quiet, yet also very certain.

Written at the end
What trading brings me is not just income, but an upgrade of my mindset, thinking, and action system.
It has turned me into a more calm, disciplined, perceptive, and clearer person.
