我现实挺der

On the road of trading, many people initially focus their attention on 'effort'.
Staying up late to watch the market, repeatedly reviewing trades, and constantly trying new methods, it seems that as long as enough effort is put in, the results will naturally improve.
But after a long journey, one realizes that trading is not something that can yield returns solely through diligence. The real difference often lies not in how many candlesticks you have observed, but whether you are standing in the right direction.
The market fluctuates every day, but it does not provide opportunities every day. Many traders mistakenly equate 'volatility' with 'opportunity', resulting in frequent entries and exits, consuming energy, while neglecting a more essential question: what stage is the market currently in?

What is called 'accumulating wealth' is not about finding a mysterious shortcut for ordinary people, but rather changing one's mindset—from 'how to quickly turn things around' to 'how to slowly raise one's own baseline.' The former is a story, while the latter is reality.
In the past, I, like most people, would think of particularly eye-catching images when it came to 'accumulating wealth': a big market movement, a sharp rise in a curve, or numbers changing visibly in a short time. What you focus on every day is 'can I earn a little more this time' or 'can this trend increase significantly.' The more you think this way, the easier it is to overlook the most heart-wrenching and practical reality—ordinary people's lives are lived over ten, twenty, or even longer years, not determined by a single windfall.

The more a person is afraid of silence, the harder it is to do a good job in trading. Here, 'silence' doesn't just mean whether there is sound in the room, but rather whether you can spend some time with yourself without stimulation, without a plot, and without anyone talking to you, not rushing to do something, not rushing to scroll through something, and not rushing to find something on the market.
Many people, when they sit in front of the screen, are most afraid of those few minutes of 'doing nothing.' The candlestick chart hardly moves, and they start to feel anxious: Should I try a trade first? Is there an opportunity I haven't seen? I have to do something today to feel like I haven't wasted time, right? So various software opens, group messages are scrolled through, opinions are checked, and they stare at the market for a while; anything is fine as long as it doesn't get quiet. On the surface, it seems like they are always very 'engaged,' but if you line up all the actions, you'll find that the vast majority of trades are not because they saw truly high-quality opportunities, but rather because—they can't stand doing nothing.
