Many people envy those skilled traders, thinking they are born with the ability to make money. But honestly, where is the talent?

They rely on a keen market sense gained from very little sleep. Watching the K-line every day, not missing out on BTC and ETH, can you not be sharp? The problem is, ordinary people can't stick with it for more than two weeks.

Then there's extreme self-discipline. It's not just about making a trading plan, but actually executing it. Stop-loss when needed, exit when necessary, and resist even the most tempting contract orders. This self-control, frankly, is a battle against human nature.

There's also endless loneliness. No one can understand your decisions; you dare not boast to friends when you make money, and feel ashamed to admit losses. Repeatedly validating your logic alone in this market consumes your mental energy in ways you can't imagine.

Finally, a strong heart. Few can calmly analyze while watching their funds fluctuate instead of being driven by emotions.

So, don't talk about geniuses anymore. Traders are built from these qualities.

Basically, it's staying up late + self-control + loneliness. There's nothing mysterious about it; it's just that I can endure hardships better than others.

Honestly, I've seen many people who can't stick with it for more than two weeks, all dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Sleep deprivation makes you feel strong? Bro, isn't this just self-destructive behavior, and calling it professionalism. --- Stop loss, stop loss, easy to say, but when it comes to the actual position, how many people can actually pull the trigger? I haven't seen many. --- Someone sitting alone in front of the screen verifying logic—this isn't a trader, this is just the prelude to a mental breakdown. --- Making money but holding back and not daring to speak—how painful must that be? I'd rather go get a job. --- A strong heart? That's called numbness. Over time, you stop feeling anything. --- If you can't stick with it for two weeks, it shows most people clearly see this as gambling—don't deny it. --- Instead of staring at K-lines until your eyes blur, why not read a few more books? At least it’s good for your brain. --- Emotional hijacking is actually a normal human reaction, alright? Who the hell can stay cold-blooded?

Tsk, that's right, but most people can't hold on for more than a week before breaking down. --- The chips are highly concentrated in the hands of those who can truly endure; ordinary people simply don't have the physiological conditions to hold on. --- The pattern has formed, which is why 80% of people are destined to be harvested. --- Self-discipline? Ha, I think 90% of people can't even execute a stop-loss, so what are we talking about traders for? --- Interesting, that's why those who make money are always so few. --- But on the other hand, does staying awake really improve market intuition? I feel like it's still a game of probability... --- The typical leek mentality is that after reading this article, they'll start trading contracts again tomorrow. --- Whether your heart is strong or not can be seen from a 50% unrealized loss on your position. --- Instead of staying up all night watching the market, it's better to learn how to read chip distribution. True winners have long stopped looking at K-lines. --- This paragraph is actually saying that traders are also ordinary people, just more capable of enduring.
