Treat trading like gambling, and a margin call will cost you. After eight years, I finally understand that the people who last the longest in the market don’t rely on luck, but treat this as a profession—calm, disciplined, and saying no when necessary.

The worst habit I’ve changed is trading during the day. Daytime markets are too noisy, signals are chaotic, and price fluctuations seem designed to lure you into mistakes. Now I only start trading after 9 PM, giving the market enough time to settle, so that the candlesticks can reflect true intentions.

Before making a move, you must have at least two technical signals pointing in the same direction—for example, MACD golden cross combined with Bollinger Band breakout. Relying solely on intuition and luck? That’s suicide. Also, stop-loss orders must be placed in advance; they are your "amulet" for survival, preventing you from being knocked out by a single mistake.

When you make money, the first thing isn’t to keep playing, but to withdraw a portion. If you earn 1,000, take out 300 first to secure the gains, and use the rest for rolling trades. The numbers on the screen are ultimately virtual; real gold and silver are what count.

Many people achieve short-term wealth in this industry, but the real test is whether you can endure the alternating bull and bear markets, withstand volatility, and survive until the end. When you replace a gambler’s mindset with a professional attitude, embedding discipline into every operation, you’ll find that in this world—long-term survival is the greatest compound interest. Stability, in fact, is speed. Those who are willing to follow the rules and have patience will eventually be favored with wealth.
