People often DM me asking: What kind of person can survive and make money in this market?

The answer might surprise you—the simpler you are, the easier it is to make money.

If you’ve figured out your own strategy and can stay steady through a few rounds of wild ups and downs, just keep going at your pace. But if you can’t do that? Then be honest with yourself, strictly follow your take-profit and stop-loss rules, and don’t count on luck.

I would never claim I can guarantee you’ll make money 100% of the time. But what I can promise is: when extreme market conditions hit, at least you’ll still be alive. As long as you survive, you’ll have a chance to gradually recover through swing trading—it might take a week, maybe a month, but you’ll always be able to bounce back.

A lot of people get impatient at this point: “What’s the point of that? I want to go all-in and double my money in one shot!”

Plenty of people want to get rich overnight, but those who actually pull it off? You can count them on one hand in this space. It’s important to know yourself.

What’s the most valuable trait in this business? Perseverance. As long as you stick to a controllable trading system and keep executing without wavering, in the end you’ll outperform 90% of people. Remember: the ocean wasn’t formed in a day, and wealth doesn’t come overnight. Those who get rich quick—99% of them end up giving it all back. If you’ve never experienced the pain of losing money, you won’t cherish the sweetness of profits.

Here’s an example: I have a newbie friend who joined the scene just a month ago. He lost $1,500 at first. But he didn’t panic, stuck to his plan strictly, and 20 days later not only broke even but made a profit. Experiences like that are crucial for building the right trading mindset.

The market will always be here—don’t rush to get rich overnight.
