For a long time, I thought the essence of trading was technology, judgment, and being a little smarter than others. Later, I realized that these are just surface appearances. What really makes the difference is not how many times you were right, but what happens when you are wrong. Most people in trading only have one thing on their mind: Can I win this time? But what the market really cares about is another thing: Can you stay at the table? You will discover a harsh reality: the market does not reward those who are "right every time"; it rewards those who make mistakes that are not fatal and can survive in the long run. Gradually, I came to understand one thing: the essence of trading is not to predict the future, but to manage uncertainty. You don’t need to be right at every step; you just need to ensure that when you are wrong, the losses are controllable, and when you are right, the gains are amplified. Emotions won’t drag you into a deep pit again and again; it sounds ordinary, but very few can truly achieve it. Many people go further astray in trading not because they don’t work hard, but because they are always doing something dangerous: trying to turn an uncertain world into certain answers. They want: logic that guarantees a rise, patterns that ensure profit, and the feeling of being right from the start. But the market never provides such things. After realizing this, I actually did less. I no longer acted frequently, no longer needed to prove how accurate my judgment was, and I no longer obsessed over "missing opportunities." Because I gradually realized that many people do not lose due to their trading ability, but because they want to catch every opportunity. If I had to summarize it in one sentence: the essence of trading is making choices that are beneficial for the long term in an uncertain world, and accepting that mistakes will inevitably occur in the process. Only those who can accept this truly begin to learn trading. The rest are mostly just educated by the market earlier or later.
