From 6,000 to 1.5 million—there really are deep insights.



Trading isn’t about who can predict better; it’s about who can control themselves.

When I first started, I went through a major loss too. With $10k in principal, after several wrong moves, I quickly got down to 6,000. Back then I studied the market every day, thinking I could flip it back with the next trade. But I found that the more I tried to prove myself, the easier it was to make mistakes. The real problem wasn’t the market—it was my trading habits. Even when I clearly knew the direction was wrong, I still thought I should wait. Even after I had made money, I always wanted to make more. In the end, the losses grew and the profits got given back.

Later, I set rules for myself:
If you’re wrong, exit—don’t treat hope as a strategy.
Reach your target and close—don’t be greedy for the last bit of space.
If there’s no opportunity, rest—don’t force yourself to trade.

As my experience grew, I also started focusing on market rhythm. When prices rise quickly, fall slowly, sometimes it’s just capital shuffling. But when you see a volume expansion at the high and then it quickly drops again, it often means risk is increasing. After a sharp sell-off, the rebound needs you to watch volume and the trend—don’t see an up move and assume it’s a reversal. The same goes for volume at the bottom: you need to judge sustainability, not what happens in a single day.

What truly changed my account was never a single trade. It was every summary after a mistake, and every adjustment after a loss. There’s no one who’s always right in trading. But there are people who can control risk, maintain discipline, and wait for opportunities. If you get it wrong, dare to admit it; if you make money, dare to hold it; if there’s no setup, dare to wait.

That’s the ability to survive in the market long-term.
