A person under heavy debt pressure or relationship stress cannot make wise judgments.


Many people in trading are eager for quick success—not because their greed is too strong, but simply because of the “pain” of reality. They seem to “have no choice but to make it,” disallowing failure and disallowing stop-losses. In the end, they choose to “gamble their lives” in the market.
If it fails, then it’s death. If they win, they get back on their feet; if they lose, at worst they remain just as before.
Greed is only a facade.
“Pain” is the root cause.

That’s very true. On the surface it looks like greed, but in reality it’s all pressure from everyday life—there’s no choice, so people end up taking the gamble.

Many people think a trade failure is due to greed, but they’re wrong. Those who are weighed down by debt and can barely breathe know in their hearts that cutting losses is right—but reality won’t let them admit defeat, so they can only tough it out. In the end, they get liquidated through margin/contract liquidation. This kind of suffering is hard for outsiders to understand, but it’s a real predicament.

Indeed, many people who lose money aren’t greedy—they’re pushed by life into having no way out.

The scariest thing in trading isn’t that the technicals are bad—it’s being pushed to the brink by life and only then trying to turn things around; your mindset was already broken, so how can you still make rational judgments?
