Recently, I've seen quite a few people messing around in the market. A friend started with 1,500 yuan and turned it into 5,600 yuan in 30 days, and the key point is that he actually withdrew the profits. But to be honest, most people's problems are not due to luck, but because they haven't laid a solid foundation. The common pitfalls for retail investors losing money are actually just a few: entering positions at the wrong times, setting stop-loss and take-profit levels chaotically, and misjudging the market rhythm and deviating from actual market conditions. In contrast, some relatively stable traders may not be the most intelligent, but they share one common trait—strong execution ability, strictly following their trading plans, and being highly sensitive to market rhythm. This actually illustrates a truth: the ceiling of trading is often not how complex the strategy is, but whether one's mindset and discipline can keep up.

1500 to 5600? This guy's luck is really incredible, but I think there's a high chance he'll break even again next month haha Basically, it's about execution and mindset. I've already given up on complicated strategies Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to do. I haven't even managed to do it myself

yo that 1500 to 5600 story hits different when they actually withdrew it... but ngl the real tea is nobody's talking about the health factor on their positions lol. been there, lost that with the "perfect strategy" nonsense. discipline > complexity, facts. watched too many people get liquidated because they couldn't stick to the plan, not because the plan was trash. market rhythm is everything fr

1500 to 5600? Sounds easy to say but feels like hell to do. I just want to know how he endured the drawdowns. --- Basically, it's discipline. I've seen strategies so complex they still lose money; it's really a matter of execution. --- I've been burned by stop-losses before, now I set them strictly to feel secure; otherwise, I just wait for the market to hit me hard. --- I don't believe in those overnight wealth stories on social media; only those who can truly deliver are the real winners. --- Strong execution is the key point. Most people can't keep up with changes; they see a rebound and recklessly add to their positions. --- Mindset really is the ceiling. My strategy wasn't bad before, but my psychological resilience was lacking.
