Looking back at the various players in this market, it becomes clear—those truly skilled traders can consistently make moves and profit regardless of market conditions. As for those relying purely on luck, they occasionally hit a winning streak and feel proud, only to be knocked back down and swing between gains and losses. When the market is good, they win once; when the trend shifts, they start losing. In the long run, the capable traders who understand risk management and market analysis can survive even in a bear market; luck-based traders are like Schrödinger's traders, their state fluctuating wildly. This is the cruelest part of the market.

That's right, luck-based players will eventually be taught a lesson by the market. It's been obvious for a long time, those who truly make money are all systematic. Wait, isn't this about me... Relying on luck? That's strategic stop-loss. Can't learn risk control or anything, just go with your gut. That hit home, I'm the one who got knocked back to the original form.

To be honest, those who rely on guessing should be educated by the market. When luck is on their side, they get overly inflated, and a wave of retracement directly liquidates them. Who's to blame? The real profit-makers are those who quietly make their fortune and don't go around bragging. Risk control is probably the trader's moat. But to be fair, the proportion of people who can sustain consistent profits is really frighteningly low. I just want to know how many people can survive the next extreme market condition.

Honestly, I am the one who was beaten back to my original form... I got carried away after guessing a few trades right, now I lose money every day. Those real traders, why are they so steady? I want to learn but can't seem to master it. Risk control? Analysis? Just hearing about it makes my head hurt. I might as well keep relying on luck haha. Surviving a bear market? I'm almost dead in a bull market... That's it, I accept my fate. The cruelest thing about the market is that some people make money while others lose. I belong to the losing side.

Basically, it's the ultimate showdown between technology and luck. Those who survive the bear market are always the ones who understand how to save themselves.

Listen, you're not wrong... But I looked at my settlement slip and now I doubt whether I'm the lucky type. Analyzing the market every day, yet still getting beaten up—that's just ridiculous. No matter how good the risk control is, it can't stop black swan events. I just want to ask, those guys who consistently make money, why hasn't any of them come out to do a live stream?

That's right, luck-based players are just the backup army of the leeks.

Too harsh, where are all my friends who relied on luck now…… --- Risk control and luck, the difference is really not a little bit --- Surviving a bear market is true skill --- I'm the one who was knocked back to the original form, now I’m seriously learning risk control --- Schrödinger trader haha, perfectly described --- People with strong abilities are rewarded by the market, luck-based players are taught lessons by the market --- That’s why I don’t dare to go all-in now --- Just look at my trading records to know which type I am, it’s a bit sobering --- People who make money long-term have systems and discipline behind them, not some black technology
