Remember when you first opened a chart and had absolutely no idea what you were looking at? The candlesticks, the moving averages, the volume bars—all just noise, right?
Look back now. See how different things are?
Every trade you analyzed, every pattern you missed, every loss that taught you something—it all stacked up. From panic-selling at the first dip to actually hodling through cycles. From chasing pumps to reading market structure. From pure luck to having an actual edge.
That's not luck. That's growth. That's the difference between a newbie scrolling charts and someone who actually understands what's happening on the market.

Really, I was once a complete beginner too... Looking back now, it's like two different people.
Painful losses are the best teachers, I’m not lying to you.
From chasing highs and selling lows to now being able to hold, the feeling developed through that process is hard to describe.
But honestly, most people still keep making the same mistakes and never learn.
That’s probably why most people can’t make money... what’s missing is that insight.

Honestly, looking at candlestick charts in the past two years was like reading a mysterious script. Now, looking back at my decisions, I can't help but laugh until I double over.

In the early days, I was just blindly guessing when looking at candlestick charts. Now looking back, my losing trades have become the best textbooks. This process is truly the real deal.

Really, when I first entered the scene, reading candlestick charts was like reading a heavenly book.

Really, at first, looking at the candlestick chart was like a blind man feeling an elephant. Now, looking back at my previous trades, they were really outrageous.
