"Life and Trading"

Brothers, hello everyone. I'm trader Zhu Yidan. At this very moment, I'm lying in a bed in a foreign country unable to sleep. I'm not anxious about the losses on my account statement, I'm just lamenting how quickly time passes—in the blink of an eye I'm over thirty, and the best phase of this life game has already passed me by, yet I still haven't become the person I wanted to be.

I'm a fortunate person. In 2025 I made a beautiful comeback, climbing out of the debt quagmire for the third time on my own. But I'm very clear-headed about it—I attribute it to luck. I happened to encounter market conditions I'm good at. In our circle, many people have made enough money to change their lives, but ultimately didn't keep it. Actually, they didn't just lose the money, they also lost the opportunity to peacefully live as an ordinary person. The feeling of falling from great heights is too painful. Most people are ruined by it, especially those who succeeded merely by eating into the industry's dividends.

When I first entered this circle, the word I heard most was "insight." Initially, I was dismissive of it, thinking people who constantly talk about insight seemed pretentious, as if showing off their wisdom. After my life went through several rollercoasters, only then did I understand the weight of the word "insight." The height of your life may fluctuate due to luck, but insight is the mean value you ultimately return to. You may temporarily make money beyond your insight, but eventually you'll lose it back according to your insight.

In the current market, I know many people are struggling, really struggling, even feeling like their lives are about to fall apart, sorry to their families, sorry to themselves. Stopping on the wrong path—that's the correct beginning. Stop the hand that randomly places bets, see clearly what kind of market this is now. The difficulty of making big money in a market without money is equivalent to creating something from nothing.

It's like a gambling game where the winners have already left the table, and only a few losers with little money left are cutting each other up. When the game reaches this stage, it's actually near its end. Your unwillingness to lose, your refusal to give up will only waste your energy meaninglessly. Your best choice is to go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep, waiting for the next new gambling game to begin! Believe me, it will come!
