Today, I passed by the trading room and caught a glimpse of a young man sitting in front of the computer, with the most basic Candlestick Chart open on the screen, and a bunch of questions on the table like "What is MACD, what is a trend line".

That focus mixed with a hint of confusion suddenly pulled me back to when I first entered the circle.

Back then, I only had a few thousand U in my account, yet I considered myself a main player in the market, thinking, "As long as I thoroughly understand the Candlestick Chart, I can conquer this market."

I understand his current mindset —
The excitement for the market, the fantasies about the future, the anxiety about the unknown, and that confidence of "I can understand this game" are all written on their faces.

But standing here today and looking back, I actually feel quite envious.
I envy the time when all I could see was the market, without so many distractions.
I envy the time when every trade was a learning experience, not for recovering losses, not to win back a battle, but simply to understand it.

I also remember when I first entered the circle, some people helped me out, and some just gave me a knowing look. Looking back now, I'm quite grateful.

There are no shortcuts in trading; you have to experience the liquidation of your positions, the sleepless nights, and the tears at 3am all by yourself.
My current "risk management awareness" and "emotional stability" today were only gained after losing how much U, blowing up how many positions, and closing how many apps.

So,
No matter how long you've been in the market, don't forget how you got in.
Don't laugh at the newcomer who is still studying Candlestick.
That is how each of us came.

Traders should not forget their original intentions.
