Most traders are like young green onions: retail investors who always tend to chase rallies and cut at the wrong time, mindlessly follow the herd, yet find it hard to steady themselves and refine their own trading system.
Watching one order after another get stuck, portfolios get wiped out, and then people are forced to sell at a loss—after seeing so many ups and downs in the market, you learn how varied everyone’s joys and sorrows are.
In trading, you can’t break the rhythm or disrupt the established order.
Every trader who walks out has endured a kind of suffering that others can hardly empathize with.
From holding positions under pressure, to getting wiped out, to hitting zero and starting over—through the grind of trial and error—the bitterness and sweetness, the ups and downs, only you truly know.
I spent seven years as a retail trader. I slowly woke up from being “green onion,” and it took me seven whole years to crawl out of that deep pit—out of hell.
I kept studying the market, researching techniques, and replaying everything again and again, building a trading system of my own.
I kept asking myself again and again: why is it easy to know but hard to put into action? Knowing the principles is one thing, but actually executing them is as difficult as walking across a single-plank bridge.
This industry is deep—very deep. No one is able to stand on their own and truly walk out without paying a huge price.
Sleepless nights, heartbreak, even experiencing the collapse and rebuilding of one’s values.
And when, at some moment, you genuinely achieve enlightenment, your inner world becomes unexpectedly calm—you’re no longer dragged around by the market’s big sorrow and big joy.
12345 go up the mountain to fight the tiger. 45678 go home to sleep. Let the idle people not be disturbed
