A couple of days ago, I saw an interview with Lao Huang, and it almost broke my defenses.

He said this: "Those who have overly high expectations often cannot withstand the pressure. True success requires resilience, and I don't know how to teach you that—except by letting you experience pain."

After listening, I was stunned. Isn't this just talking about us contract players?

Look at those newcomers who just entered the market, they immediately go all in, thinking they can make ten times in a week. What happens? When they encounter a 20% pullback, their mindset explodes, and they delete the app overnight. Why? Because their expectations are set too high, and their psychological defenses are as fragile as paper.

What do real survivors in trading rely on? Two words - resilience.

What does "耐操" mean? It means that even when you are cut in half, you can calmly review the situation, remain unflustered during three months of sideways movement, and hold your position steady despite seeing a screen full of FUD. This is the dividing line between top players and retail investors.

Old Huang's saying "I hope you experience pain" sounds a bit like toxic chicken soup, but the painful truth is - pain is the ticket to this market. If you haven't been liquidated a few times and haven't experienced the despair of faith going to zero, you simply don't know how much position you can bear.

Why are top people emphasizing resilience? Because this game is never a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon in a bear market. Your IQ? In the face of "the ability to withstand continuous blows," it might not even count as a fraction.

The longer you can withstand the market massacre, the more bull market dividends you can reap.

So don't be afraid of being educated by the market. Every liquidation, every time you're stuck, every time you watch your account numbers plummet is patching your trading system. Pain is not punishment, it's an upgrade package.
