It took 7 years to become a profitable trader, and then suddenly, everything changed.
That feeling is hard to describe. The previous years were a cycle of repeatedly stepping into traps, losing money, and adjusting my mindset, until one day I realized my way of thinking had completely changed. It’s not that I discovered some secret formula, but rather that I gradually understood the logic of market operation.
Many people ask me what that "critical turning point" was. Honestly, it was abandoning those flashy indicators and starting to carefully observe on-chain data, trading volume changes, and market cycles. From the execution of stop-losses, to developing a reverence for risk, and building a psychological resilience for holding positions—every detail matters.
Turning losses into profits in 7 years is not due to luck, but because the market has taught me countless lessons. If you are still losing money now, perhaps the problem isn’t with your trading strategy itself, but with your insufficient understanding of what trading truly entails.

Damn, it took 7 years just to break even? Man, your mindset must be really strong. I've gone bankrupt three times already, haha.

7 years just to break even? ngl that's either discipline or stockholm syndrome, can't decide which... the "market teaching you lessons" part hits different though. most people just blow their account and ghost.

It takes 7 years to break even, how many times has that been lost... But it does make some sense.

Breaking even only after 7 years? Man, that's some expensive tuition... But on the other hand, you really have to go through it to understand.

ngl 7 years just to break even? pattern analysis suggests most retail never even make it that far tbh... but here's the thing - link on-chain data observation is legit, that's where actual signals live not those flashy indicators everyone gets honeypotted by

Breaking even after 7 years? Then how much longer do I have to wait to actually make a profit...

Is it true that you only make money after 7 years of capital preservation? I'm still losing money, it seems my understanding isn't enough.
