In trading, human nature is the most realistic aspect.

In the face of money, human nature is fully exposed.

When making money, people can lose themselves,
thinking they are the chosen ones;
When losing money, people can shift all responsibility,
blaming others, feeling no connection to themselves.

Over the years, I have seen too many gamblers’ true faces—
eyes reddened with rage, they curse their parents,
deceive friends and family,
and abandon all principles for gambling funds.

This is the evil of human nature.

So you see,
why do so many traders eventually turn to meditation and Buddhism?

Not because of superstition,
but because they have seen too much darkness in human nature,
and need a way to heal their hearts.

Those top traders on Wall Street—
which one has not experienced countless margin calls and liquidations
to get to where they are today?

In the end, trading is not about technique, but about human nature.

If you can understand the market, you can make money;

If you can understand human nature, you can survive.
