True advancement has never been about accumulation, but about doing less.
【Reduce Emotions】 Don’t let a single comment, a screenshot, or a K-line fluctuation hijack your judgment. The market tests your psychological bottom line every day. Those who trade based on emotions are basically paying tuition for others.
【Reduce Illusions】 Stop waiting for luck, a benefactor, or a shortcut to get rich overnight. Focus on probabilities—what strategy has a high win rate, what position sizing offers a reasonable risk-reward ratio, and when to cut losses to protect your capital. Compound interest is the real magic, but only if you live long enough.
【Reduce Dependence】 Funds, trading skills, risk judgment—these should be in your own hands. It’s not about ignoring advice, but about not handing over decision-making power. Don’t touch anything you don’t understand, no matter how hot the track.
In the end, just doing three things well is enough: 1️⃣ Upgrade your cognition—learn to see through cycle patterns, not chase every trend 2️⃣ Strengthen control—be able to profit steadily, cut losses decisively, and choose your risks independently 3️⃣ Continuous practice—in real market feedback, iterate your trading system
Only then can your account truly achieve stable growth.

That's right, but too many people are just gambling, not actually trading.

That was really harsh, but it kind of hurts... I'm just that kind of fool who is hostage to the K-line.

Exactly right, it's just really hard to do. I'm still learning to not be hostage to the candlestick charts, it's too difficult haha

Really speaking, I’ve already quit that emotional trading approach. Now I just focus on the stop-loss line; only by staying alive can I make money.

That's right, I really dislike those people who are tied to K-line charts every day and ask me how to operate.

actually, if you run a proper regression analysis on emotional traders vs disciplined ones, the correlation coefficient is almost perfectly inverse. the math doesn't lie, most people just refuse to look at the data.

That's so true. Those who check the group messages every day and change their decisions will eventually suffer losses and develop psychological shadows.

There's nothing wrong with that, but very few people can truly practice subtraction; most are still chasing the hot trends.
