# The Highest Realm of Trading



Wang Yangming failed the imperial exam three times. Friends comforted him, telling him not to be sad.

He replied:
"It is not shameful to fail the exam, but shameful to let the failure disturb your mind."

Trading follows the same principle:
- Lost money, it doesn't matter
- Made money, it doesn't matter either
- The only thing that matters is: Did you follow your system?

As long as you strictly execute your system,
without being swayed by greed, fear, regret, or fantasy,
long-term profitability will inevitably follow.
Because 90% of your thoughts are false.

The highest realm is: When thoughts arise, ignore them.
Watch them come, watch them go,
Keep your mind unmoved, and trading becomes steady.
