The paradox nobody talks about: profitable traders bore themselves to death, while the ones chasing dopamine end up broke.



You're sitting on capital. Two paths unfold.

Path A: Stick to the system, follow your rules, ignore the noise. Returns compound quietly. Your portfolio grows but your pulse stays steady.

Path B: Hunt for the rush. Every dip is a chance to swing trade, leverage plays, the "one lucky move" that changes everything. The charts become your slot machine.

One feels safe and dull. One feels alive.

Guess which one actually works.

To be honest, I really couldn't live that kind of life on Path A... but the wallet will live very well.

Damn, this is exactly how I see myself—completely screwed.

Data shows that those profitable traders are indeed very boring, while the most exciting accounts end the year in the red. After research and analysis, I believe this is the cruel truth of the market.

Honestly, I've seen that Path B approach too many times. Making a few tens of thousands in a month, then losing it all back in two weeks, and even adding some principal... Really, what's more terrifying than Bore is that feeling of "I'll try one more time."

The truth is, path A makes money, path B makes happiness, it's that simple.
