Why do most ordinary people fail to achieve results in this market?


Do you still remember why you first entered the space?

I recently came across a passage and want to share it with you:
“A person who owes rent will never be able to hold a profitable position.”
Ordinary people lack sufficient buffer funds and cannot withstand account drawdowns; the pressure of time costs weighs on their shoulders, making it impossible to endure the long-term, slow, and stable compounding profit model.

The hardship of daily life forces people to seek immediate returns from the market, so they instinctively choose to gamble: going all-in on trades, hoping to quickly reverse their dire situation through one extreme market move. But this path is doomed from the start—trading with a full position completely destroys rational risk control, dilutes objective judgment, and makes it easy to be swept away by greed and fear amid price swings, falling into emotional chasing of highs and selling lows. Frequent overtrading, refusing to stop losses, and adding to losing positions follow one after another, shrinking the principal continuously. The more one loses, the more desperate they become to recover, constantly increasing the bet in a vicious cycle, ultimately exhausting all savings and ending up with nothing.
