#密码资产动态追踪 Trading futures for so many years, I've seen too many smart people stumble in the market.

$BREV's top university graduates, $BROCCOLI714's programming geniuses, $CLO's indicator experts... talented people abound. But how many can actually achieve stable account growth? Very few.

Later I realized — whether trading makes money has nothing to do with IQ, it's all about character.

Techniques can be learned, systems can be built. What's most fatal is that stubborn streak deep in their bones. It's not that these people don't work hard; the problem is they're obsessed with proving themselves right: the logic is sound, the market is just washing out weak hands; hold a bit longer and we'll turn it around... They end up fighting the market, treating stubbornness as conviction, treating desperation as courage.

The market doesn't care how determined you are. One major move can wipe out months of profits.

The market specifically punishes two types of people. One type insists on proving they're right, emotions explode when the market reverses, and they stubbornly hold on; the other type always wants a comeback, overtrades with oversized positions, gets greedy on wins and blames others on losses — essentially gambling with their life instead of trading.

People who actually achieve long-term stable profits understand how to "retreat."

They know they're ordinary, don't obsess over perfect win rates, and only prevent one fatal mistake. They can accept the regret of missing trades when signals don't appear — staying flat looks less professional than being fully leveraged, but it actually proves professionalism. Stop-losses? That's just operating costs; you pay rent to run a shop, this expense must be paid. Account fluctuations never affect their mindset — no euphoria on winning streaks, no breakdowns on losing streaks. Every trade executes the rules, not proves themselves.

Can't change your character? You can actually optimize it through training:

Before opening a position, write down stop-loss conditions and maximum acceptable loss clearly; if you can't articulate it clearly, don't enter; absolutely forbid averaging down on floating losses — break the rule once and force yourself to take a 3-day break; when reviewing trades, look at it differently, see "stop-loss" as "cost" not "failure"; track only rule execution rate for a month, temporarily ignore profit/loss.

The Tao Te Ching says: "The reverse is the movement of the Way, the weak is the use of the Way."

"Weakness" in trading isn't fear of difficulty, but that clear-headed wisdom of not hardening against the market. Let go of the obsession to always be right, allow for mistakes, know when to quit, and accept losses in time — this is true foundational skill for long-term trading.
