《Life and Trading》

Brothers, hello everyone, I'm trader Zhu Yidan. At this moment, I'm lying in a bed in a foreign land unable to sleep. I'm not anxious about the losses on my account statement, but rather lamenting how time flies—in the blink of an eye I'm over thirty, and more than half of the best phase of this game called life has already passed, and I still haven't become the person I wanted to become.

I'm a fortunate person. In 2025, I made a beautiful comeback, crawling out of debt troubles for the third time with my own strength. But I'm very clear-headed about it—I attribute it to luck. I just happened to encounter market conditions that I'm good at. In our circle, there are quite a few people who've made life-changing money, but ultimately didn't keep it. In fact, they not only didn't keep the money, they also lost the opportunity to be an ordinary person with peace of mind. The feeling of falling from great heights is too painful. Most of them are finished, especially those who only succeeded from eating the industry dividends.

When I first entered this circle, the word I heard most was "cognition." At first, I was dismissive of it—people who kept hanging these two words on their lips seemed pretentious, acting like they had great insight. But after my own life went through several roller coasters, I finally understood the weight of these two words. Your life's height may fluctuate due to luck, but cognition is the mean value you ultimately return to. You can temporarily make money beyond your cognition, but eventually you'll lose it back through lack of cognition.

In the current market conditions, I know many, many people are struggling—truly struggling. Some even feel like their lives are about to fall apart, sorry to their families, sorry to themselves. Stopping on a wrong path is the correct beginning. Stop your reckless betting hand, see clearly what kind of market this is. The difficulty of making big money in a market with no money is no less than creating something from nothing.

This is like a gambling game where the winners have already left the table, and what remains are just a few broke losers cutting into each other. When a gambling game reaches this stage, it's actually coming to an end. Your unwillingness, your refusal to admit defeat, will only waste your energy meaninglessly. Your best choice is to go home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep, waiting for the next new gambling game to begin! Trust me, there will be one!
