One evening, Lý Dương asked me:
“Mr. Bai, what does it take to be considered a good trader? Is it all about making a lot of money?”
I smiled: “Maybe not for sure.”
At the beginning, Lý Dương only had a few tens of thousands of dollars. He traded very carefully—if he made a profit, he felt happy; if he lost, he would look for the reasons. But when his account grew to a few hundred thousand dollars, everything gradually changed.
He traded more, with larger volumes. The profit of 5k—something that once made him happy—now felt too small. Losing 10k no longer led him to analyze; he only wanted to quickly make it back.
One day, he said: “Earlier, I traded to make money. Now I trade like I’m trying to prove that I’m right.”
I fell silent.
After that, Lý Dương started reducing the frequency and volume of his trades, pulling back some profits and spending more time on his life.
A few months later, he said: “I’m not making money as fast as before, but I sleep better.”
I thought, that’s the real maturity of a trader. Making money is a skill. Not letting money and emotions control you—that’s real class.
