Someone once asked me, why are there always only a very small number of people who can truly walk out in the trading market?
I have thought about this question many times.
It is not because the methods are too difficult, nor because the market conditions are too bad,
but because most people have never crossed the threshold of 'thinking'.
Many traders seem to work very hard,
staying up late, staring at the market, frequently trading,
but essentially, they are using emotional busyness to cover their avoidance of systematic thinking.
As soon as they incur a loss, they rush to make it back;
as soon as they make a profit, they start fantasizing about getting rich;
switching positions back and forth between rising and falling, long and short, their hands never stop.
But the truly important question is one that almost no one has seriously asked:
Why am I opening a position here?
What are the prerequisites, conditions, and failure points of this decision?
Traders who can continuously grow do not rely on competing with time or frequency,
but maintain calm independent judgment for a long time,
taking responsibility for every trade and reviewing every mistake.
Trading and learning are no different,
it is not about seeing more or remembering more that leads to progress,
but about constantly thinking, validating, and correcting,
ultimately building a logical system that belongs only to oneself.
Enlightenment is never a moment of inspiration,
but is the countless times of deconstruction and reconstruction of oneself.
