Many people think trading is difficult, but the real challenge is not analyzing the market, it's whether you can discipline yourself. In my early years, I repeatedly fell into the same trap—trying to double my profits after making some gains, but often ending up with nothing. During that period, I kept messing around, and all my gains were eaten up by drawdowns.



Later, I gradually figured out the way. The key shift was: abandoning the illusion of huge profits and focusing on stable compound growth. I strictly control my position sizes every time, and even the most promising opportunities are only lightly tested. I cut losses immediately when they occur, never holding onto luck. Sounds conservative? But after a year of sticking to this approach, the small gains accumulated into significant profits.

The simplest truth is: risk control > prediction, discipline > talent.

That's right, it's a mindset issue. I was the same two years ago—going all in when bullish, and ending up getting beaten badly. Now I understand that stable compound interest is the way to go.

That's right, I've fallen for it myself. I went all in and ended up losing everything.

Exactly right, but too many people are greedy and insist on going all-in at once.

This guy's point is valid, but very few people can actually do it. I've seen too many who talk about risk control but go all-in with a single shake of their hand.

ah yes, the classic "discipline beats prediction" arc. statistically speaking, this is exactly how every retail investor starts thinking... right before the next bull run wipes them out. history rhymes and all that
