The essence of financial markets bears a striking resemblance to Laozi's philosophy. "The market is unkind, treating traders as mere fodder" succinctly summarizes this view, revealing the objectivity of the market and the role of traders within it.
The market's 'ruthlessness' does not refer to its cruelty or evilness, but rather emphasizes its absolute objectivity. It does not favor any trader based on personal character or background, operating as impartially as natural laws. In this system, each trader is merely a trading unit, and success or failure depends on strategy, discipline, risk management, and alignment with market rhythms, rather than personal emotions or moral positions.
This view coincides with Laozi's idea of 'Heaven and Earth are not benevolent'. As Laozi said, the 'tuo yue' (bellows) may seem empty and formless, yet it contains immense energy and infinite possibilities. It is always filled with opportunities; as long as trading continues, new trends and fluctuations will constantly emerge.
Understanding this characteristic of the market is crucial for traders. It reminds us to maintain objectivity and rationality in the market, focusing on improving our own skills and strategies rather than hoping for the market's 'mercy'. At the same time, we must recognize that the market's ruthlessness precisely reflects its greatest fairness—everyone has the opportunity, but everyone also faces the same challenges and risks.
This philosophical view applies not only to financial markets but can also be extended to broader economic and social fields. It inspires us to approach seemingly harsh market rules with a calm mind, being neither blindly optimistic nor overly pessimistic, but instead striving to improve ourselves and find our own place and opportunities in the tide of the market.

Why spend the whole day talking nonsense? It's better to seriously look at the K-line.
