The more you want to turn your fate around through trading, the more the market will bite back.
When a person is eager to change their destiny,
Their emotions, judgments, positions, and expectations
Are already destined to be imbalanced.
This is not the market's fault,
It's a script written by human nature.
I used to be like this too.
Carrying ambition, anger, fantasies, and obsessions,
Like holding a dangerously hot weapon,
Only wishing to turn life around overnight.
As a result, I found:
The more you want to rely on the market to turn your fortunes,
The more the market will make you kneel.
Not because you are not smart,
But because you want to win too much.
Livermore's classic quote:
"The moment you enter the market with emotion,
You have already lost,
If you don't change your temper,
The market will always take your chips."
This sentence is not a warning, it’s a prophecy.
Because all liquidations
Are preceded by emotional explosions, then liquidation.
Have you ever seen truly powerful individuals?
Not those who appear confident,
But those who seem
"Unmoved by waves."
They don't gamble, don’t rush, don’t seek explosions,
They won’t be overjoyed by floating profits,
Nor will they be driven mad by floating losses.
Their hearts are steady,
So their positions can remain stable through the years.
Trading is not a shortcut to change destiny,
But a mirror that exposes it.
You will encounter the market that matches your personality.
The impatient meet sharp declines,
The greedy meet false breakthroughs,
The fantasists meet false trends,
The stubborn meet relentless downward moves.
This is not coincidence, it’s causality.
The market never owes us a future,
It only rewards those who first understand the present.
May you stabilize your heart before getting on board next time,
Then steady your hands.
It’s not about pursuing explosions,
But about becoming a person who is not swayed by the market.
