Trading has never been a shortcut to changing one's fate.



Newcomers always think they can turn things around with a few trades, but traders who have gone through several bull and bear cycles know very well — the market is a mirror that ruthlessly reflects all your human weaknesses.

When you're anxious, it creates volatility to make you chase highs and sell lows; when you're greedy, it tempts you to go all-in, and then a downturn can bury you deep; when you dream, the reality of losses is the coldest splash of water.

The market won't scold you, won't discourage you, and won't sit with you in sadness. It just quietly remains there, teaching you through price action what respect truly means and what genuine rationality looks like. Trading tests not luck, but whether a person can face their greed and fear head-on.

That hits home. I am the one who got completely buried with a full position.

It sounds good, but how many people can actually do it? Most people will still repeat their mistakes.

Another article titled "The Market is a Mirror," I've read it ten times, but I just can't shake the habit of chasing highs. That time I was fully invested and got buried alive. Now, whenever I get anxious, my hands start to shake. It's correct to say so, but knowing and doing are two different things.
