Many people have a significant misunderstanding of trading. They think that with just a few tens of thousands of yuan as capital, relying on some mysterious techniques or black magic, they can casually turn it into millions or even tens of millions—this kind of thinking is itself problematic.
What is the reality? A true professional trader might double or triple a 20,000 yuan principal within 2 to 3 months. That’s already considered a good return. But what about the training and education groups out there? Their promotional stories are completely different.
Looking at the contract market, the risks are indeed high. But who are the real players inside? It’s nothing more than rookies and those with insufficient knowledge, risking their entire savings, credit cards, or online loans. And what about traders with millions in assets? They might only be operating with a 10,000 US dollar principal. What’s the difference?
Fundamentally, most people are gambling, while traders treat trading as a profession. Mindset, capital management, and risk control—these are the key factors that determine success or failure.

It's very heartbreaking; most people have a gambler's mentality, going all-in with their entire assets, only to end up with nothing but debt.

To be honest, this is the real truth. I basically don't believe those around me who boast every day about making ten times in a month.

ngl watching people yolo their entire savings thinking there's some magic formula... it's like monitoring mempool chaos when you don't even know what MEV is. the gap between actual position sizing and these degens' delusions is actually insane lol

That's right, mindset is indeed the top priority.
---
Really, most people just want to get rich overnight, never thinking about how to survive and exit.
---
Doubling or tripling, the key is not to get liquidated, brother.
---
I just want to ask those training institutions, why don't they trade themselves?
---
Risk control is spot on; that's the secret to lasting longer.
---
Lack of understanding is a hard flaw; no matter how much capital you have, it's useless.
---
The difference between gambling and working is right there; it depends on your choice.
---
The difference between trading with 10,000 U and borrowing to trade contracts: one is life, the other is despair.

Professional traders are satisfied with doubling; their mindset is truly different.
