The market's ups and downs never stop because of your fear, nor do they change direction because of your caution.

Are you afraid of losing money? Will the market spare you? Do you dream of making money and having profits come to you automatically? These are all self-deceptive illusions. The market never asks how you feel.

Many people claim to want to be investors, but deep down they are playing the game of short-term trading. This is perfectly understandable—small funds need to grow quickly, and frequent trading is indeed a way to do that. But at the same time, you must understand: turning a small capital into a large amount is something no one needs to teach you step-by-step—you already know the core principles—seek stability, control risk, and think in terms of compound interest.

Why do leverage ratios of 50x, 100x, 150x, 200x, or even 1000x keep appearing in the market? It's very simple—the market needs such tools, and some traders also need such leverage. The supply and demand are right there.

Exactly right. These past few months, I've been playing like this—trying to chase 100x with just a few thousand yuan in hand. And what happened? I got liquidated directly. Now I understand—it's really not the market's fault.

That's right, the market doesn't care whether you're crying or laughing; it treats all declines equally. Frequent trading is just gambling; don't comfort yourself by calling it investing. There are more people getting liquidated due to leverage than those achieving stable compound interest—that's the answer.

That's right, the market is so cold and ruthless, it doesn't care about your mood at all. People say every day to invest steadily, but then they go all-in with leverage—what a joke! Compound interest sounds simple, but how many people can really stick with it? Most still want to double their money quickly. With leverage at such high multiples, what’s the actual proportion of people who make a profit? Anyway, I haven't seen many. Build your mental resilience before entering the market; otherwise, you'll be crying when you lose. The market never waits for anyone. Either keep up with the rhythm or get out—there's no third way.

You're right, the market doesn't look at your account balance, only your actions. Frequent trading is a psychological game; those who think they're smart often end up losing the most. Leverage is just a tool used to harvest panic selling. A broken mindset is more costly than anything else. Another motivational article, but it really hits the core. Growing small funds into large ones, frankly, is just gambling on luck plus compound interest, there are no shortcuts. Being afraid of losing actually causes you to lose even faster, and this cycle is really hard to break. The market is always testing your bottom line.

According to the database, a new "Market Doesn't Care About Mood" theory has appeared here again. It's been so long since the last similar argument that I can't even count. The rhetoric of compound interest thinking and seeking stability to control risk is also used by project teams to hype their projects. But what’s the result? Leverage is still there, and accounts are still exploding. The art of time.

That's right, the market doesn't care what you think at all; just hit it and it's done. I'm the kind of person who thinks in terms of compound interest verbally, and I hold 50x leverage contracts in my hands—there's nothing I can do about it. How can small funds grow without leverage? Waiting for slow compounding, by the time you know it, the yellow flowers are withered. The supply and demand relationship sounds nice when explained, but who can really withstand that feeling during a pullback... I find this article a bit irritating, as if implying that those of us trading with leverage are all just rookies. But honestly, without this group of "certain traders," where would the market liquidity come from? It's just about everyone playing to their own needs.
