Consolidate your learning: today was another day without losses and with serious study and reflection. I watched a video that was quite good and organized the content to share.



This is a video about trading mindsets. The author shares, through personal experience and observation, the counterintuitive logic of making money in trading. The core content is as follows:

1. Essential Understanding of Trading
• It’s not a myth that some people turn tens of thousands into hundreds of millions, nor does it rely on talent or mysterious tricks, but rather on seemingly simple trading philosophies that can change your fate.
• Trading is not about competing on skills or predictions; the core is about mindset and self-restraint. True masters win by restraining themselves, not by predicting the market.

2. Common Trading Mistakes and Correct Practices
• Mistake 1: Impatience for Quick Gains
Many people enter the market eager to act, recover losses, or prove themselves, but often end up losing.
Correct Practice: Traders who last are surprisingly “slow.” They watch the market for a long time without moving, only acting in the moments they feel most confident—precise and steady. “Impatience leads to losses; patience accumulates profits.”
• Mistake 2: Blindly Catching Bottoms or Fighting the Trend
Trying to catch bottoms is a shortcut to emotional collapse. Mature traders only follow trends—they don’t try to catch bottoms or tops, and focus on trend directions driven by capital.
• Mistake 3: Complaining About the Market After Losses
The market itself is irrational. When you lose, don’t complain about the market. Instead, reflect on whether you acted impulsively, made assumptions, or deviated from your trading plan. The market shows you your mistakes through losses; blame yourself for not doing what you should.

3. Key Trading Philosophies
• The Wisdom of Staying Out: Sometimes the strongest move is not to enter the market, but to stay out. Staying out is not cowardice—it’s about respecting the trend and capital, avoiding forced trades in dull conditions and getting hit by reversals.
• Attitude Toward Losses: Losses aren’t scary—what’s scary is refusing to understand the reasons behind them. Every loss is tuition that helps reduce future harm. The core of trading is not to profit from every trade, but to make losses smaller and less frequent, making yourself more stable.
• Discipline and Execution: Execution is the foundation of all techniques. Anyone can learn and use technical indicators, but almost no one can stick to them. True masters have exceptional discipline; they can persist where others can’t and restrain themselves where others can’t.
• Risk Control: The essence of professional trading is not how much you can make, but how much you can afford to lose. Control your losses, and profits will follow naturally. Engrain “better to miss out than to make a mistake” into your trading principles.

4. The Game Between the Market and Human Nature
• The market is like a mirror that magnifies your strengths and weaknesses. The more you avoid your own problems, the more the market makes you suffer; the more you understand yourself, the more chances the market gives you.
• Trading isn’t about beating others, but about beating your impulsive self from the past. As long as you can be more stable, calm, and disciplined than you were yesterday, you’re already ahead of 90% of traders. The market doesn’t need you to be perfect—just to avoid major mistakes and manage risk. If you do that, big returns will come naturally in the future.
