Sunshine? Freedom? Don't rush.
After being in the trading industry for a long time, you'll understand—
The ones who can make money in the long term are never the "hardest working ones,"
but the ones who can stay calm.
Those seasoned traders who make stable profits,
Do you think they fight every day?
Wrong.
When the market is bad, they just log off:
Close the computer, eat, exercise, take care of kids, or even catch up on sleep.
They are not busy at all, even too lazy to watch the charts.
On the contrary, those who lose the most are—busy like a top.
Staring at charts for over ten hours,
Two phones, three screens,
Dozens of indicators stuck on like cheats.
They even think of themselves as "very professional."
But their mentality is actually as chaotic as being on fire.
They can't stand it when the market moves:
Hands itchy, wanting to jump in, afraid of missing out;
Just lost a trade, and then anxious to find the next one to turn around;
The more they want to earn, the more they lose, the more they lose, the more confused they become.
Why are top traders instead low-key and pressure-free?
Because they understand one principle:
Good opportunities only come a few times a year,
The rest of the time, the market is digging pits waiting for you to jump in.
So they learn to wait.
Not chasing, not gambling, not making random moves,
In a word:
Only operating within their familiar win-rate range.
When you can do this—
Your account stays still and you don't panic,
No signals and you don't rush,
Rest when it's time to rest,
You have graduated from being a retail trader.
Trading won't give you freedom.
What gives you freedom is the ability to stay calm:
Self-restraint, patience, calmness, clarity.
Those who can achieve these,
Will eventually live as others envy.
