《Life and Trading》

Brothers, hello everyone, I'm trader Zhu Yidan. At this moment, I'm lying in bed in a foreign land unable to sleep. I'm not anxious about the losses on my account statement, I'm just sighing about how time flies—I'm already in my thirties, and the best stages of this life game have mostly passed, yet I still haven't become the person I wanted to be.

I'm a fortunate person. In 2025, I pulled off a beautiful comeback. I climbed out of the debt quagmire for the third time on my own, but I'm very clear-headed about it—I attribute it to luck. I just happened to encounter market conditions that play to my strengths. In our circle, there are quite a few people who've made life-changing money, but they didn't hold onto it in the end. Actually, they didn't just lose the money—they also lost the chance to live peacefully as ordinary people. The feeling of falling from great heights is too painful. Most people are finished, especially those who only succeeded by riding the industry's dividends.

When I first entered the circle, the word "cognition" was what I heard most often. At first, I was dismissive of it, thinking people who constantly talked about these two characters seemed pretentious, as if trying to appear knowledgeable. Only after my life went through several emotional rollercoasters did I understand the weight of these two characters. Your life's peak may fluctuate due to luck, but cognition is the mean level you'll ultimately return to. You may temporarily make money beyond your cognition, but eventually you'll lose it back through lack of cognition.

In the current market, I know many people are struggling tremendously—really struggling. Some even feel their lives are about to collapse, sorry to their families, sorry to themselves. Stopping on the wrong path is actually the correct beginning. Stop your reckless betting hands, see clearly what kind of market this is. The difficulty of making big money in a market without money is no less than creating something from nothing.

This is like a gambling game where the winners have already left the table, and only a few broke losers remain inside cutting each other up. When a gambling game reaches this stage, it's actually nearly over. Your unwillingness to give in, your refusal to admit defeat will only waste your energy unnecessarily. Your best choice is to go home, take a bath, get a good night's sleep, and wait for the next new gambling game to begin! Trust me, it will come!
