I recently quit drinking for seven days, and I didn’t expect such obvious changes in my body—I sleep more deeply, and I feel more energetic during the day. This made me realize something: often, success or failure doesn’t depend on how hard something is, but on whether you can keep your mind focused.
Speaking of staying focused, nothing tests you more than trading.
For example, you spot a good asset and set your entry price, but you keep wanting to ask others for their opinions or check what people are saying in the group. Can you hold your position? It all depends on whether you believe in yourself. I used to have this problem—opened a long position, scrolled Twitter and felt the market was about to turn, so I immediately opened a short to hedge. After going back and forth a few times, of course I ended up losing money.
Later I realized one thing: you have to build your own trading system. Making money doesn't necessarily mean you're right, and losing money doesn't always mean you're wrong. The key is whether your actions deviate from your own logical framework. As long as your logic is consistent, your long-term win rate will naturally improve.
The worst thing is "doubting while doing"—in that state, you can't accomplish anything. Keep yourself in a good state, trust your own judgment, and even if you stumble at first, things will get smoother as you go.

This is just empty talk; when it comes to actually losing money, it all depends on your mindset.

Just seven days without alcohol and you feel this good? Bro, are you hinting that I should quit too... But what you said about trading is spot on—if you keep listening to opinions in the group, you deserve to lose money.

After seven days of quitting drinking, I suddenly remembered the importance of sticking to my trading system. That logic actually makes sense, haha.

That’s spot on. I used to be the kind of person who kept refreshing the screen for reassurance after placing an order, and ended up losing everything.

After seven days of quitting alcohol, I feel much more clear-headed. So, if I quit reading big influencers' opinions, will I make more money? Haha, just kidding... But seriously, I really relate to this logical framework. I used to change my orders a dozen times a day, but now I've learned to keep quiet, and as a result, things have actually become more stable.
