Those who can see through the tricks in the trading arena have never played by the book.



Some describe trading as running naked on a battlefield, and in the end, those who survive are the "uncommon" characters.

Warren Buffett's saying "I am fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful" is well known, but for the average person, how easy is it to act contrary to this?

When the numbers in the account fluctuate violently like a roller coaster, an ordinary person should have their heart pounding like a drum, on the brink of losing control.

But those who have figured out the tricks of trading can still eat and sleep as usual.

They always carry a bit of "anti-human" traits in their nature.

Soros once said, "If you treat investing as a pastime, you'll end up leaving in tears." This is true.

Ordinary people want to smash their keyboards when they lose money and rush to post on social media to show off when they make money, but what about real traders?

Friends invite you out for drinks, they laugh and say 'next time', but deep down they know that the time spent bragging at the table is enough to thoroughly review the transaction details.

They have long learned to accompany loneliness.

Ray Dalio wrote in "Principles" that "pain + reflection = progress," and they are a vivid illustration of this statement.

They understand that every fluctuation of the candlestick reflects human nature; every penny in the account carries the weight of recognition.

Those motivational quotes about "man overcomes nature" are no longer believed by them.

Jesse Livermore pointed out a century ago: "There is nothing new on Wall Street because human nature never changes."

They know that the biggest opponent in trading is not the market, but the gambler inside themselves who always desires to get rich overnight.

So they don't talk much usually, not to appear aloof, but because they are afraid that if they say too much, it will reveal the ordinary greed that has not completely faded away from their bones.

Ultimately, those who can survive in the trading market have already stepped out of the confines of being a "normal person."

As Peter Lynch said: "What determines the success or failure of an investment is never IQ, but EQ."

Now looking at the market's wild fluctuations, they won't even raise an eyebrow.

If you ask them for the secret, they will probably reply lightly, "What enlightenment is there? It's just that I made the mistakes that ordinary people would make, a decade earlier."
