I remember the first time I made over k in the market, that excitement was truly amazing.



I refreshed my account balance several times, making sure I wasn't mistaken before I dared to believe it. That night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with the thought "I can do it" running through my mind. I even went out for a barbecue, showing off to my friends, saying "I'm treating today."

It's quite funny to think about it now.

Later, the account balance kept growing larger, but I didn't feel much about it. Once, I caught a wave of market activity, earning what others made in a year in just a few hours. I just stared at the screen for a while, then closed the software and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles.

I didn't think about posting on social media, nor did I think about celebrating; I just quietly finished my noodles and stared blankly out the window. At that moment, I suddenly felt that maybe it was just like that.

The more you see, the more you understand - in this industry, surviving is much more important than making money.

A sharp rise can make you feel elated, while a sharp drop can make you question your life. Those who truly stabilize are the ones who have been educated by the market, have fallen, but can still get back up and review their trades.

The mindset is a strange thing. In the past, I couldn't stand those conservatives, thinking they were timid and lacked vision, but now I can understand them. Most people just go through life step by step; you can't expect everyone to be daring or to handle pressure.

Real opportunities always belong to those who can think independently, dare to take risks, and are not swayed by market noise.

Only when you have the ability to choose what kind of life you want to live and at what pace you want to come, that is called freedom.

On this road, it's not just luck that counts, but more about choices: what targets to select, which circles to associate with, and whose judgments to trust. Now, keep up with the rhythm and let's ambush the next wave together!

Honestly, the feeling of making big money for the first time has long passed; now I actually feel more numb the more I earn.

You're right, mindset is the foundation of it all. Those who are still excited to the point of losing sleep over a few k will eventually understand what true calmness means.

Indeed, you are right. The mindset is truly the hardest lesson to learn. I was so excited I couldn't sleep when I had k, but now I'm numb to any deposits.

To be honest, that early joy of making a small profit just can't come back. Now even if I double it, it's just a nod.

Wow, this change in mindset is incredible, from celebrating with a barbecue to staring blankly while cooking noodles, it suddenly makes sense.

According to the data, the shift in mindset cycles shows a significant Reverse correlation with account size - the initial dopamine feedback gradually levels off, reflecting a dynamic adjustment process of risk tolerance. It is noteworthy that the author's psychological transition from "showing off and treating" to "cooking a bowl of noodles" actually touches on the adaptation level theory in behavioral finance.

This unfolds from three dimensions: first, the accumulation of psychological resilience; second, the deepening of risk cognition; third, the rationalization of capital allocation strategies. Those who can truly survive in this industry are not those who revel in a single massive market movement, but rather those who have completed mindset calibration and can make independent judgments.

To be honest, the title and content of this article don’t match, haha

I understand that early excitement very well, but now I’m more go-with-the-flow; whether I make money or not is actually fine.
