As we approach 2026, every trader should take a moment to calmly review their trade history—carefully analyzing which trades were worth making decisively and which ones should never have been entered.

The trading world has always been filled with impatience and noise. Every day, you can see stories of people getting rich overnight or doubling their investments in a single trade, but the truth is, very few can achieve long-term profitability through trading. Most so-called "get-rich-quick myths" are just fabricated illusions for traffic, and only they themselves know how much they've earned or lost.

Rather than being carried away by external impatience, it's better to settle down and refine your trading skills step by step. Just like I’ve been doing recently—reviewing my entire 2025 trading strategy, analyzing each trade for correctness, reflecting on which decisions are worth sticking to, and which actions need to be abandoned.

The trading industry we are in is fundamentally different from traditional industries—operating 24/7, 365 days a year, with no holidays. More importantly, the patterns of daytime and nighttime trading are completely different, and every trader’s personality and habits vary greatly. Often, seemingly profitable points or trades during the day suddenly reverse at night, especially during this period when 99% of the market is oscillating.

I truly understand that everyone entering this circle wants to hit a big move and see quick results—just like I did back then, every day filled with the hope of "catching a big trend." But the reality is, the market won't always give us opportunities to "eat big meat." Most of the time, we are just being pulled around in oscillations.

Since we have chosen to root ourselves in trading and aim for long-term results, at this critical juncture of the old and new year, it’s really time to reflect and summarize: Has my trading skill truly improved this year? When faced with temptation, have I really controlled my hands? Have I blindly entered trades without clear signals?

Every day, we are in a market where bulls and bears fight fiercely. When there are no trades or clear strategies, it’s natural to feel restless and anxious, physically and mentally exhausted. Especially now, during tax season, honestly, I want to pause and rest—at this stage, the market becomes particularly difficult to operate, and often we end up trading "just for the sake of trading," rather than "trading with the trend." This is something each of us should deeply reflect on.

Every day, I ponder how to achieve steady, continuous compound growth. But trading has never been smooth sailing; many times, things don’t go as planned. Still, I believe that taking it slow is the fastest way.

Good hunters are patient, and true trading masters never obsess over daily gains or losses, nor do they worry about "how much they earned today or lost tomorrow." Instead, they look at the long-term, considering returns over a month, a quarter, or an entire year—Is this month overall profitable? Is this quarter progressing steadily? Have I gained something this year?

In the trading circle, too many people fall into the cycle of "chopping wood every day, burning it all every day," busy trading daily but never reviewing or summarizing, ultimately just exhausting themselves in endless cycles. I hope that in 2026, we can all shed impatience, settle down, spend less time chasing quick gains, and more time cultivating patience. Let’s refine our skills, stay true to ourselves, and steadily move forward to achieve our own results✨
