The hardest part of trading is not the technical hurdle, but the mental barrier.

After trading for a while, you'll realize,
the most terrifying thing is never the loss,
nor the market suddenly reversing.

The most terrifying thing is:
You clearly know when to cut losses,
but still hold on;
You clearly know not to chase,
but still rush in;
You clearly have a clear plan before the market opens,
but during the session, it’s like you’ve become someone else.

Many people think this is poor mentality.
Actually, it’s not that simple.
There’s something deeper behind this,
it’s your instinct,
it’s your subconscious,
it’s that part of you that begins to take over your “inner demon” whenever you encounter profit or loss fluctuations.

Some can’t hold onto profits,
not because they don’t know how to hold positions,
but because deep inside, they don’t believe they deserve to make big money.

Some stubbornly hold onto losses,
not because they don’t understand stop-loss,
but because mistaking admitting fault is seen as denying oneself.

Some chase after missed opportunities wildly,
not because they don’t understand the risks,
but because instinctively they feel:
“Not acting is missing out, missing out is failure.”

So, as trading progresses,
the real difficulty isn’t the technical hurdle,
but the human nature barrier.

The most painful part of this barrier is:
You understand the principles, but your body refuses to obey.
You know how to stop-loss,
but when losses come, you want to wait a bit longer.

You understand holding cash,
but when the main trend surges, you get itchy.
You have a plan,
but when the market fluctuates, the plan immediately becomes invalid.

Therefore, the true cultivation in trading,
is not turning yourself into an emotionless person,
but learning:
to suppress instinct with rules,
to break impulsive urges with awareness.
Accept missing opportunities,
accept losses,
accept making mistakes,
accept that the market is always bigger than you.

When you no longer rush to prove you are right,
no longer see losses as shame,
no longer rely on luck to recover,
your trading will truly begin to stabilize.

The market ultimately filters out,
not the fools,
but those who are never willing to face themselves.
