You must go through extreme pain and extreme loneliness when you find that there is no one around you to rely on in order to walk this path of Asura. The cost of becoming a trading expert is a hundred times more brutal than you can imagine.

This industry tests not only your wallet but also your psychological resilience. Beginners often go through three stages: first, paying tuition; second, losing a few years of youth; and finally, stripping away three layers of psychological defenses.
The real barrier is not technical analysis, but using real money to buy lessons. You have to personally experience the suffocating feeling of a full position hitting the limit down, feel the regret of slapping yourself for missing out during a bull market, and experience the fear of trembling hands after consecutive stop losses that prevent you from placing orders. These experiences, which will not be written in textbooks, are the nourishment for transformation. Just like learning to swim requires choking on water, trading cognition must be built on losses.
The market specializes in dealing with all kinds of defiance: when greedy, it forces you to liquidate; when fearful, it pushes you to miss opportunities; and when following the crowd, it leads to collective harvesting. Those who survive have cultivated the ability to act against human instincts—reducing positions when the market is boiling and biting the bullet to add positions when the market is at a freezing point. They execute trading plans like robots, using iron discipline to turn a 55% win rate into a money-making tree.
This road is fraught with peril, but those who persevere will ultimately receive double rewards: the growth of account numbers is merely superficial; what is truly precious is the absolute control over one's emotions. When you are no longer swayed by the ups and downs, and when others panic, you can calmly pull the trigger—this kind of mastery is worth more than any wealth. Remember, the market always rewards the indomitable lone wolves, but first, you must endure the darkest night before dawn.
