Experiencing a "heavy blow" loss often changes a person more than reading a hundred trading books.

What truly pushed me onto the fast track of growth was not profit, but a sudden and sharp real loss. Not a paper loss, but the kind of loss that gets settled on the spot, leaving your heart racing.

In that moment, you will understand: the market won't give you time to hesitate; it will only strike you, but that strike can wake you up.

Many people fear losses, but the value of a significant loss far exceeds your imagination——

It forces you to build risk awareness and teaches you how to remain calm amidst fear; more importantly:

It makes you less overly sensitive to losses, allowing you to have the courage to take large positions when real opportunities arise and to keep sitting at the poker table.

Don’t always hold yourself to the standards of institutions; it’s meaningless:

1) Institutions must draw a smooth curve; that is their KPI,

2) Retail investors have the cheapest resources, which are time and the cost of changing positions.

So the strategies of institutions have no reference value for you. The more you imitate, the more it will hinder you, make you conservative, and prevent you from making significant gains.

Look at those who can ride TSLA and NVDA to 10x or 20x gains; there are very few in a lifetime.

It’s not that they are smart, but that they can withstand volatility, believe in themselves, and are long-term believers.

Such people are pitifully rare in the East Asian "no mistakes" educational system we grew up in.

Are many retail investors not making money? No, but they are trapped by concepts like "be stable," "be safe," and "don’t draw down."

Once things don’t go as expected, they panic, cut losses, and run——

It’s not that their skills are insufficient, but that their mental buffer zone is too small.

Thus, when a real major drawdown arrives, you may not be able to withstand it.

Many people collapse in the market, not because they lose money,

but because they cannot accept failing so miserably.

But I want to tell you:

Experiencing significant losses is better the earlier you face it.

A8 losing A7's earnings is very normal,

A9 losing A8's profits is also a necessary path——

This is not a disaster but a stage every mature trader must go through.

From then on, you will suddenly understand:

Losses are not a shame but the cost of upgrading.

Once your mindset is opened, your level changes. @实盘带单-K哥
