Once, I thought contracts were a shortcut to wealth, but later I realized - it was more like a long game with myself.

In the market, there are no eternal winners, only constantly evolving practitioners.

In these years, what the market has taught me is not just about candlesticks and indicators, but also about human nature, risk, and discipline.
From blindly following the trend to establishing my own trading system; from making emotional trades to executing mechanically—each step is accompanied by pain and growth.

💬 The market has always been fair; it does not punish mistakes but teaches you the same lesson repeatedly until you learn.

⸻

1️⃣ There is no "holy grail" in trading, and there are no "secrets" in the market.
The way to make money is not found in any secret book. Trends, support and resistance, position management, execution power – these are the key elements that, when practiced repeatedly and perfected, will lead to success.

2️⃣ Predicting the future is not as good as managing the present.
People who guess price fluctuations every day either end up with a liquidation or get slapped in the face. Trading is not about prediction, but execution. You never know whether the next trade will be a profit or a loss, but you can know that - if you follow the rules in the long run, the odds will be in your favor.

3️⃣ Let profits run and cut losses.
Losses are not scary; what's scary is holding on stubbornly. Profit is not made through frequent trading, but rather by making one correct trade that captures enough profit.

4️⃣ Keep your distance and learn to wait
Staring at the market every day and making frequent trades will only make you more anxious. Those who truly make money understand the importance of keeping a distance from the market, being patient with an empty position, and waiting for the right market conditions that belong to them.

5️⃣ True experts are all quite "bored".
Their trading is dull, the rules are constant, execution is stable, not swayed by market emotions, neither euphoric from making money nor devastated from losing.

6️⃣ Living longer is more important than running faster.
Trading is a marathon; those who get liquidated are not lacking in intelligence, but rather they didn't survive. Control your drawdowns and make sure you qualify to stay at the table — time is the greatest compound interest.

The market will not give you an extra penny just because you work hard; it will not change, you can only change yourself.
It's not technology that makes money, but cognition; it's not the method, but execution.
When you truly realize this, you no longer need anyone's guidance—because the market has taught you everything.
