Many people think that structure is drawn, learned, or figured out by reading books.
But the reality is:
Structure isn't "unlearnable",
but rather "most people never live long enough for it to emerge".
First, consider this fact.
True structure isn't built by a single correct judgment,
but through
long-term,
consistent,
repeatable behavioral constraints.
And these three things are exactly what most people can't achieve.
First, structure requires you to endure "uncertainty" over the long term.
Before structure forms, you will frequently experience a state:
It feels right, yet also feels wrong
You understand it, but profits are unstable
No thrill, no sense of belief
Most people give up at this point:
Switch strategies
Add more indicators
Seek "a more certain answer"
But once you escape this phase, structure will never appear.
Second, structure demands you abandon the illusion that "every single trade matters".
The premise of structure is:
Individual trades don't matter
Consistent decisions do
But most people can't do this.
They pour too much emotion into each trade:
Proving they're right
Fear of loss
Fear of missing out
Fear of market rejection
Thus, every trade becomes a psychological burden.
Structure cannot form under such conditions.
Third, and most critically: before structure is established, you cannot "see" the structure.
This is hard for many to accept.
Structure isn't something you foresee and then execute;
it emerges retrospectively, after long-term, consistent self-imposed constraints.
This means:
At the moment you need to persevere the most, you won't know if you're on the right path.
It's precisely here that most people give up.
So you'll find a harsh truth:
Structure isn't a reward for the diligent,
but a filter for those with endurance.
It's not that you're not smart, or haven't learned enough.
It's simply that:
The psychological endurance required by the market isn't suited for most people.
If you're still on the journey now,
feeling vague, hesitant, lacking certainty—
this might actually be the only sign that structure is forming.
