The joys and sorrows of trading



To outsiders, trading may seem like a dull and monotonous repetition—numbers dancing on the screen, continuously refreshing candlesticks, appearing to be meaningless. However, for those truly immersed in the game, the alternating bullish and bearish candles are not only a condensed microcosm of the market but also a mirror reflecting life.

The game of human nature is infinitely amplified here. We are in confrontation with the market, which is essentially a struggle against our own character weaknesses: wanting to earn a little more when greedy, fearing to lose a little less when scared; every decision is a test of our temperament.

The external evaluations have always been polarized: some call it a professional and complex wealth management, while others bluntly categorize it as a "gamblers' luck game." To this, I never argue much. Those who have never personally experienced trading and speculation will never understand this unique pain and joy—especially in futures, where all emotions are magnified by leverage, making pain more intense and joy more fervent.

The market is never short of emotions: fear spreads like a tide, causing panic during pullbacks; greed burns like a wildfire, leading to blind chasing during rallies. In the ebb and flow of trading volume lies a surge of capital; in the ever-changing shapes lies the fierce battle between bulls and bears. The scene is comparable to thousands of troops charging, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a clash of swords and spears. Sometimes, I find myself intoxicated by the wild fluctuations of the market—sharp price surges and drops, significant trend reversals, which to me are not torment but a unique pleasure.

From the initial surge of passion and accelerated heartbeat when facing volatility, to the current calmness and composure in dealing with it, I know this is a form of "internal growth." Having experienced enough ups and downs, and having seen enough patterns, many judgments have become instinctive in my subconscious, allowing me to capture key signals without deliberate entanglement.

More often, I position myself as "an observer of the market." I have seen too many losses from those who seek quick profits, and I have also witnessed the gains from patiently waiting. Gradually, I understand that there is no shortcut to trading success; it is merely a matter of "long-term careful observation" combined with "decisive positioning when opportunities arise." If I make a mistake, I accept the loss calmly, without getting entangled or holding onto losing positions; if I am right, I remain humble, without arrogance or rashness—this is both a respect for the market and a protection for myself.

Let us encourage each other with all the companions who persist on the trading path.
