Don\'t chase the wind, wait for it. The wind will always come, but you must ensure that when it does arrive, you haven\'t drowned in the mud pit beforehand.

To be honest, when we talk about the trading market, we first have to tear off the disguises worn by those in suits.

A lot of people enter the market thinking they’re buying numbers, buying charts and curves—when in fact, you’re buying human nature, the sum total of billions of people’s greed and fear around the world.

The market today is no longer that old “work hard and you can make money” hustle. It’s more like a survival game in the fog.

Before, when we talked about cycles, there were signs you could follow—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Now, the cycles are sudden downpours and inexplicable droughts.

Stop putting your faith in expert predictions. In this era where information is fed to our mouths by algorithms, we’re actually more likely than ever to go blind.

When everyone is talking about a certain opportunity, the meat on that opportunity has already been picked clean—the rest is all splinters and thorns.

When it comes to the future, everyone talks about financial freedom, but true freedom is really a matter of options.

Have you noticed? If you only have money, you’re actually fragile. Real financial freedom means you don’t just have assets moving—you also have a kind of anti-fragile nerve.

What does “anti-fragile” mean? It means that when the system collapses and black swans fly around unchecked, you’re not just not crushed—you even grow new “flesh” in the chaos, because of the defense arrangements and mindset you built beforehand.

Now, the trend is actually ruthless: mediocre assets are slowly turning into worthless paper, while the truly scarce, consensus-driven things that can outlast cycles will become so expensive that you’ll start to doubt your life. That’s the logic of wealth in the future—polarization, with no middle ground.

So the best way to deal with risk isn’t to tell fortunes—it’s to “go to the gym.”

And this gym means training your cognition. You need to understand: not losing money doesn’t mean you’ve won. If your cognition can’t keep up with the speed of monetary inflation, you’re actually bleeding slowly.

You have to build your own system—no matter how clumsy it is—so it can help you survive in extreme weather.

Don’t treat trading as the only straw to build wealth. Treat it as a magnifying glass for observing the world.

In the end, what trading really comes down to is having a conversation with yourself.

You’ll find that the ones who make you lose huge amounts of money are often not because your skills aren’t good—it’s because, in that one moment, arrogance or luck got the upper hand.

Future freedom is really reserved for those who can restrain their instincts and, when things are hot and狂热, can lower their head to see the road ahead.
