【Repost】The person who made money every day later disappeared.

About five or six years ago, I met a trader. He almost every day posted profit screenshot on Moments. Today he makes $3,000, tomorrow he makes $5,000.

From time to time, he’d also write something like: “Trading isn’t as hard as everyone thinks.” Many people started to envy him, and some even followed his strategy. During that time, he really did make a lot of money.

Later, one day, I suddenly realized he wasn’t updating anymore. Not for a day—continuously for a week. Then later, for a month.

Six months.

Only afterward did I learn from someone else. That time, the market suddenly crashed and he didn’t cut his losses. Because he’d been making money in a row beforehand, he felt that every drop would eventually bounce back.

First averaging down.
Second averaging down.
Third time, adding more.

In the end, not only did he lose all the money he’d earned earlier, he ended up down by tens of thousands of dollars. After that, he exited the market and left all social platforms.

Many people think the hardest part for a trader is making money. Actually, it isn’t. The real difficulty is, even when you’re making money, to still stay in awe.

The market will never show you mercy just because you’ve been winning consecutively. One thing it loves to do is, when someone is at their most confident, give him a lesson.

Later, I watched those people who post their daily returns less and less. Because truly mature traders care more about risk than applause. In the market, living long is always more important than getting rich quick.
