I drove into the mountains for two days and had a very free and happy time every day—no K-lines,
There are two things in this world that you cannot look at directly
First is the sun, second is human nature.
When you’re hungry, and someone shares half a steamed bun with you—that’s friendship.
Someone gives you a steamed bun to eat—that’s love.
Similarly, someone may hide a steamed bun from you and tell you that they’re hungry too—that’s society.
What’s the easiest?
Blame others—it’s the easiest
What’s the hardest?
Seeing yourself clearly is the hardest
The collapse of most businesses in the world
It has never been losing to ability
but instead it’s losing to your own ignorance of human nature

Statement:
In my public group, I haven’t slandered any host either.
In my strategy group chat, I also haven’t slandered any host.
I’m still borrowing Sima Yi’s words.
I’ve gone through life without enemies.
What you see are friends and mentors.
I don’t know how many years I’ve used this line as my signature on my other social accounts.
Please don’t forcefully “blacken” someone.
Many times in life, there’s no explanation—only results.
This strong rally really did leave me missing the chance—yet I was still holding short positions open.
Don’t even talk about losing money from liquidation and blowing the account.
Let me briefly go over the review first.
It went too smoothly. Ten-plus days ago you were already up and then down—going in and out on multiple positions at smaller timeframes can be profitable, but often it's this kind of approach that’s the most deadly. Arrogance.
For the 65,000+ short positions, the highest point then was also around 65,200.
After a second drop to 62,600, I didn’t take profit, but along the way a few individual accounts did three short-long scalps—meaning while holding short positions, they also did small-timeframe long scalps. At the time, the judgment was that the market would keep ranging and consolidating; the profit from the shorts would be squeezed out very aggressively. So the smaller timeframe entries were used. It’s often precisely this kind of trading technique that affects you—taking the small pieces but holding out for the big.
There’s a fan-sister beauty, far away in South America, Brazil—she’s about 11 hours off the time difference with China.
Our communication frequency isn’t high either. I also haven’t met her in person. The time we’ve known each other isn’t long.
My real age might be a few years older than you. For now, we can just call each other “sister.”
Her contract position was cut by another 500,000 dollars directly. She said she would share some with me; her derivatives account still had about 350,000 dollars left. She can pull out some, but her spot account can’t move. Do you need it?
My brain just froze on the spot—what am I supposed to do, add more bullets and stay up all night watching the K-line?
I’ll get a bit of money from her, then just delete my account and run,
But at the time I immediately refused her. She probably was traveling somewhere else then.
I told you to first take care of your own position. I’ll handle rebalancing and adjusting positions too—also cutting positions. And I have a risk management mechanism.
Besides, if I accepted it, I’d develop dependency. What would I do the next time something like this happened?
That’s human nature.
Here there are only two households: one is the winner! One is the loser!
What you earn is what you’re entitled to.
What you lost is the lesson you should have made up.
The market is always right.
Including another big brother’s account of mine—his got liquidated directly too. He said that while he was taking a shower, his account got forced liquidated. I was totally stunned. Because his positions were usually heavier, I could only quietly comfort him and say, “Then rest well for now. Don’t open any more trades these days—adjust your mindset.” But later I confirmed by checking the chat messages: he kept only a small portion of the funds in his contract account. He probably withdrew 1 million or 1.5 million dollars. The only thing he lost was the profit from the earlier trades—the principal was consumed very little.
The difference between setting a stop loss and not setting a stop loss.
In this leveraged financial market—too fast.
What’s wrong is only yourself. You moved too fast; you ran too slow.
Of course you’ll end up getting the short end of the stick!
This is the review. So we’ll use history as a guide.
Zhang Juzheng’s reforms lasted ten years, but after he died, he was posthumously raided; his eldest son took his own life.
When he stepped onto this path, he had already foreseen that the road ahead would be perilous.
Yu Qian held onto Beijing, saving the Ming Dynasty’s fate. Eight years later, he went to die calmly.
They’ll also be afraid. They’ll bow their heads, and in ways outsiders can’t understand, they’ll still do the right thing.
(Tales of Ming Dynasty) the ending, the final chapter...
I thought the author would go on to describe the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
Or maybe it’s that after the Qing armies entered, everything was changed—people and things were no longer the same. But he didn’t...
It’s not about princes, nobles, generals, and ministers—it’s about Xu Xiake. He stands at the top of Mount Huangshan.
After listening all day to the sound of snow melting away, accomplishments dissipated, schemes ended—only this one person who lived out a full life according to his own will remained on the very last page of the entire book.
That final line is this: the reason I wrote about Xu Xiake is to tell you that, compared with one thing, so-called a century of official fame, a thousand years of hegemony, and lasting glory across ten thousand ages actually mean very little. The one thing is to live this life in the way you like.
We don’t read history—we read the answers countless people tested with their entire lives.
Hard it out, detour, lower your head, wait.
Isn't this also human nature? Not an attribute of transactions.
Ming Dynasty 1566: Xu Ge Lao is an extremely complex person. When he was young, he was upright; in midlife, he endured in silence; in his later years, he indulged.
All his life he was calculating—how many years could Yan Songrong last, and...
How many more years could Jiajing still live?
When should one start writing a book?
At what point should you stop talking?
He calculated it extremely accurately.
But he miscalculated human nature.
Human nature isn’t something you can count on a calculator.
He calculated for everyone.
But he definitely never calculated his own losses.
And what about me?
Only with a calm heart facing the world will you be able to let go of obsessions with ease.
A strong wind can topple a tree, and people will naturally discuss right and wrong behind it.
You have this cause, and you’ll get this result.
When you no longer have anything you can afford to lose...
It’s when you begin to gain.
You should make money even better.
The older you get, the less anyone can forgive your poverty.
The best time was ten years ago; the next best time is now.
Apart from getting sick, all suffering comes from one’s values.
The cost of growth is to make you believe in the world—until you end up believing only in yourself.
