Once, I was also that trader troubled by Candlesticks in the deep of night. The unrealized gains and drawdowns of the account fluctuated like a roller coaster, making it feel like running on broken glass—pain is real, yet the path to steady progress seems elusive.

Until one day, I realized a truth: 'True profit does not come from accurately predicting the market, but from self-management and patiently waiting.' This epiphany became a turning point in my trading career.

In the early stages of trading, I was obsessed with studying various complex technical indicators, hoping to find the magic formula for predicting the market. However, it turned out that the more I pursued precise predictions, the more the results often went against me. The market never runs according to anyone's expectations. Trying to predict every fluctuation is as futile as trying to block the waves with your hands.

True breakthroughs begin with acknowledging that you cannot control the market. This is not admitting defeat, but rather an awakening. Excellent traders do not seek to conquer the market, but learn to navigate their own minds.

Based on this, I began to focus on two key points:

First is risk control. Before each trade, I ask myself: if I lose everything in this trade, can I accept it calmly? If the answer is no, then no matter how tempting the opportunity looks, I will choose to walk away. This is not weakness, but a commitment to trading discipline.

Secondly, it is emotional management. Whether in loss or profit, one must maintain a calm mindset. Do not be disheartened by losses, nor be overly proud of gains. What is important is to focus on the trading process, not the short-term results.

Through this adjustment of mindset and change of strategy, I gradually transformed from a trader who was led by the market to a participant who can calmly cope with market fluctuations. This not only improved my trading results but, more importantly, helped me find inner peace.

The road to trading is long and full of challenges, but as long as you maintain the right mindset and methods, everyone has the opportunity to find their own space in this market. The key lies in continuous learning, adjusting your mindset, and persistently executing effective trading strategies.
