The recent trading journey has made me think of some interesting things.

In high school, when solving math and physics problems, the hardest questions often became easy in a calm state. Once exams became tense and my mindset collapsed, my performance was usually only half of what I could achieve. Looking back, I realize this rule also applies to on-chain trading.

After dedicating myself full-time to on-chain trading for about ten days, I gradually discovered—true profit isn't the biggest gain, but rather the sense of inner peace. In this state, my grasp of market narratives and trading judgment become especially clear, as if I am perfectly in sync with the rhythm.

What are the key words? No greed, no fear. Many times, market temptations and noise can shatter your mindset—FOMO when others get rich quickly, panic selling during a pullback. But as long as you can maintain that tranquility, buy when it’s right, sell when it’s right, everything becomes simple.

This might be the most difficult yet most valuable lesson in trading.

That's right, mindset is the essence of trading.

---

It took me about ten days to realize this... I took three years to understand, I feel sorry for myself.

---

Those who can maintain tranquility are few, most are still rolling in the FOMO swamp.

---

Stop bragging, how many can truly be fearless and free from greed? In critical moments, they still cut their losses.

---

That's why most people lose money; technical analysis is useless, it's all about mindset.

High school questions are much more complex than the market, don't compare them; the market will teach you how to be a person.

Well said, attitude really is everything. I'm the kind of person who starts to panic when I see others making money, then I start to make reckless moves, and end up losing terribly.

Haha, you’ve achieved enlightenment in just ten days? I’ve been navigating the blockchain for so many years, and the market has taught me that even the best temper can flare up. I really don’t have your calmness, haha.

That's so true. Having the right mindset is really worth much more than technical skills. Realizing this in just over ten days puts you ahead.

Sounds nice, haha. I’m the kind of person who FOMO and goes all-in when I see others getting rich... Now my account is heavily in the red, and I’m still pondering what "peace" really means.

That's so true, mindset is really everything. I initially made all sorts of reckless moves out of FOMO, but later I realized that tranquility is more valuable than anything.
