Last night, an old fan asked me: “Why has my trading been going on for years, yet my account still shows no improvement?”
After reviewing his trading records, I replied with just one sentence: “It's not that you can't make money, but that you can’t hold onto profits.”
Many people initially do not understand this because they have not yet experienced enough ups and downs in the market. Only those who have truly been repeatedly washed out, thrown off, and hurt will understand: holding onto profits is much harder than earning them.
Don’t rush to deny yourself. Keep this sentence in mind; one day you will understand. Many of the things that truly affect the outcome are not skills or news, but whether you can overcome your own weaknesses:
Excited after making money, only to give it back to the market quickly;
Wishing for a rebound after a drop, yet sinking deeper.
The key to account growth lies not in how much you earn in a single trade, but in how little you can control your drawdowns.
A halving requires doubling to break even—this is both math and reality.
The real beginning of progress is to achieve these three points:
No longer fantasizing about getting rich overnight;
Start summarizing your trading patterns, instead of chasing news;
Focus on the overall curve of your account, rather than individual wins and losses.
Remember a core principle:
Don't panic during strong pullbacks, and don't chase weak rebounds.
Wait for the trend to confirm before acting, and you will move more steadily.

If you also want your account to continue to grow, let’s move forward together.
