Have you ever wondered why losing money is so easy, but making money is so hard?
The reason is actually very straightforward.
Everyone is talking about how simple and easy investing is. Once this idea takes root in your mind, losing money becomes just as easy. Traders who let their guard down are often the ones most easily harvested by the market.
Truly excellent traders know that the difficulty in making money doesn't lie in how complex the strategy is, but in whether they can keep a clear head. While you're still blindly following the trend, they are already systematically analyzing the risks. That’s why, in the same market conditions, some people make huge profits while others get wiped out.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Too many people jump in without thinking clearly about what they want to do, and as a result, they get completely wiped out. I'm also someone with experience, and now before trading, I have to ask myself three times whether it's worth it.

Ultimately, it's still information asymmetry. Those who follow blindly always end up paying for the sober-minded.

Honestly, I've heard this theory many times, but very few people can actually implement it.

No problem with that. I was initially lured in by the idea of "easy money," only to realize after two rounds of heavy losses.

That really hits home. I used to think the same way before, but I got badly taught by the market.
