In 2022, I entered this field with $7,000. To be honest, I was both nervous and excited at the time. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and my assets have doubled.

I haven't caught any meteoric rises or falls, and I've missed a few opportunities, but the most rewarding moments were actually those late-night review sessions. Watching the curve of my account, every rise and every pullback reflected my changing mindset—anxiety, persistence, more anxiety, more persistence—and finally, a steady sense of satisfaction.

This is what I truly want. Not the thrill of sharp rises and falls, but the ability to sleep well and maintain a calm mindset while earning.

I'm sharing this not to show off, but to offer some reference to friends still on their journey. There are no shortcuts in investing—only self-awareness and patience. If you're also looking for direction or want to discuss investment insights, feel free to chat.
