Those who can truly make long-term profits in the market often share a common trait: lack of desire. Here, "lack of desire" doesn't mean having no ambitions, but rather not relying on stimulation, pleasure, or huge profits. You'll find that many people who lose money are also quite restless in their lives, indulging in alcohol, socializing, short videos, instant gratification, and becoming accustomed to being led by external influences. This state makes it impossible to sit still in the market; they want to make up for losses quickly after a dip, and rush to realize gains for instant pleasure. Conversely, those who consistently make money tend to lead very simple lives. They have regular routines, aren't addicted to stimulation, and maintain a calm mindset like a still pond. It's not that they lack desires, but they can distinguish what is worth dedicating a lifetime to pursuing and what is just a fleeting pleasure. Trading is never about technical skill; it's a reflection of one's lifestyle. How you handle desires in life will determine how you handle trading in the market. Only those who can control themselves can control their accounts.
