The world is big, and I am small. Follow me so you won't have a hard time finding me.
How many years does it take to succeed in trading? This question sounds a bit painful, but it depends on how you endure it. Some people can find their way in a year, while others are still paying tuition after ten years. Ultimately, the key is not time, but whether you have been enduring or just messing around these years. If you are chasing prices every day, placing orders based on feelings, losing money while praying, then enduring for ten years will be useless. But if you truly spend time studying market rules, summarizing systems, controlling your emotions, and even after experiencing significant losses, you can still maintain your mindset, then that endurance is meaningful. So, in the end, there are no shortcuts in trading, only accumulation. You must endure the ups and downs of the market, endure your own ignorance and greed, and develop your own trading logic and discipline. Therefore, whether you can succeed in trading does not depend on the number of years, but whether you have truly focused on honing your core skills.
What does it feel like to gain insight into trading? Things you thought were right before, you realize are garbage after gaining insight; things you thought were garbage, you find out are the truth after gaining insight. You can imagine a scene where a person seeking enlightenment asks a master: What do you do before enlightenment? The master replies: Sweep the floor, cook, sleep. What do you do after enlightenment? The master answers the same: Sweep the floor, cook, sleep!
