Honestly, once trading gets on track, you'll realize this thing is actually quite boring.
Newcomers to the crypto world think trading is exciting, but the real reason is quite simple—it's essentially opening blind boxes. Will I suddenly make a huge profit and turn things around? Can I catch the bottom in one go? The anticipation brought by this uncertainty is actually just adrenaline fermenting, and has little to do with rational trading. Winning makes you feel good, as if you're chosen by heaven; losing, you blame the toxic market. This cycle repeats.
But once you build a sustainable trading framework, the entire experience flips.
Trading becomes an assembly line. No signals, just patiently wait; when signals appear, enter according to the rules. Stop-loss and take-profit are not options—they are commands that must be executed. No intuitive position adding, no mid-strategy changes, and definitely no fighting the market to bet your courage.
Most of the time, you are mechanically monitoring fixed patterns and trading conditions. When conditions are met, execute. When not, keep waiting. There’s no such thing as a "flash of insight," no "this wave feels different," and no reckless, adrenaline-fueled operations.
Initially, this state will make you doubt— isn't trading just about repeating these actions every day? It really feels pointless.
Only later do you realize a truth: the crypto market is not a stage to find happiness, but a touchstone to test your execution ability. Whether it’s enjoyable or boring, these are all superficial. As long as the system can continuously generate profits, fluctuations in personal emotions become insignificant.
In the end, those traders who can truly maintain stable profits are never the most excited ones in the market. They are usually the calmest, most disciplined, and the ones who don’t look like they’re gambling.

It's quite heartfelt. Compared to pursuing pleasure, stable income is more satisfying.

That's right, truly profitable traders have long been bored to death.

That's right, the ones who truly make money are the quiet types who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Honestly, I have to say I somewhat disagree here... Is that kind of boredom really worth pursuing?
