#数字资产市场动态 What has trading given me? Far more than the numbers bouncing in that account.
Let's start with the most direct gain—freedom.
Time is no longer controlled by my boss, and location can be chosen freely. A computer, an internet connection, and that’s all it takes to support my entire life. This is the work state that many people dream of.
But if I had to say what the deepest change is? It must be a transformation of mindset.
Trading has made me more peaceful and more confident.
Anyone who has been in the market long enough knows that every market fluctuation is a test of human nature. The leverage in the futures market amplifies all of this to the extreme—when the same scenarios play out repeatedly, you either get knocked down or learn to stay calm. And I chose the latter.
Some call this state "numbness." I disagree.
For me, it’s inner peace. Being able to accept unexpected variables and calmly seize opportunities of certainty. This itself is a form of cultivation and an advancement.
Gradually, as you adapt to the rhythm of the market and stand firm, a solid confidence begins to take root. But this is not arrogance—truly surviving traders are filled with reverence.
This confidence is more like a steadfastness and composure after long-term persistence and repeated optimization.
Trading is essentially a dialogue with oneself.
It helps me see where my strengths lie, where my weaknesses are, and then design a trading system that suits my personality. Many people fail not because their method is wrong, but because they keep trying to copy others’ secrets, forgetting the most crucial lesson—understanding yourself.
Munger once said, "We are all prisoners of our own talents."
The same applies in trading. Only by truly knowing yourself can you break through your limitations.
Most people get stuck not because they lack effort, but because they lack a guiding light. The market never misses an opportunity; chances favor those who are prepared. By following the right mindset and finding the right direction, you can break out of that endless cycle.

It's the same old story again, how many times have I heard this... Why haven't the ones truly making money come out and speak up?

ngl this reads like the whole "trading healed my inner child" arc but make it leverage derivatives... the philosophy's there tho, deconstructing market volatility as a mirror to self-knowledge does hit different when you frame it through baudrillard's simulacra lens. the real paradigm shift isn't the P&L, it's recognizing the market as a text you're constantly rewriting.

It sounds very motivational, but the leverage approach indeed pushes human nature to the limit, I won't deny that.

Nap warning... It's the same old "mindset cultivation" rhetoric. Truly successful traders don't talk so poetically; they usually start intensely reviewing arbitrage trades that have been drained of gas fees around 11 PM.

Sounds nice, but when it comes to liquidation, who still has that "calmness"?
