A successful trader exchanges self-discipline for freedom.

As trading progresses,

we will clearly understand

what we want? What we want to do? How do we want it? And how should we go about it?

We will also understand what trading can bring you? What can the market bring you? How can you obtain it? What should you do?

Trading is the hardest profession in the world; its difficulty lies in the fact that it has an invisible and intangible opponent called human nature, which can only be overcome by relying on one's inner self.

Trading is the best profession in the world; its advantage is that it can free you from all constraints—freedom of location, freedom of time, financial freedom. Any problem that money can solve in the world can be addressed freely!

Clearly, the self-discipline required to overcome human nature in exchange for most of life's freedoms is quite worth it. What reason do we have to indulge emotions, indulge human nature? What reason do we have not to overcome ourselves?

In real life, being looked down upon, being bullied, facing the elements, clocking in and out of work, cramming onto buses, scrambling for subways, being late or leaving early, dealing with difficult clients, challenging tasks, working overtime, delayed salaries... and so on, these trivial matters in life and work, is self-discipline in trading really harder than these? If you can't stand being controlled by others, then manage yourself.

If you can't even manage yourself well, it proves you are like a rotten mud that can't be supported against the wall, and you deserve to be trampled by others. Don't talk about ideals!

The trading industry is like this, and it includes all walks of life. Don't doubt it.
