Many people often ask me, after walking this path of trading for so long, what is the biggest gain?

My answer is simple: Heaven determines victory over man.

Think about it, how hard do we try before the market—studying candlesticks day and night, analyzing fundamentals, tracking on-chain data, pondering various trading models. And the result? It rises when it should fall, it falls when it should rebound, and black swans always strike when you're least prepared. The market's movement is always one step ahead of your predictions. Whether tomorrow's trend is up or down, honestly, no one truly knows.

In fact, trading is just a microcosm of life. We are the same in life—no matter how carefully we plan, we cannot change others' thoughts; no matter how cautious, we can't avoid sudden surprises; no matter how hard we work, sometimes we can't see what fate has in store.

Precisely because of this, traders should learn to let go. Not to give up effort, but to accept the existence of uncertainty after thorough preparation. Manage risks well, maintain your bottom line, and leave the rest to the market to decide.

Tsk, it's that same old "destined to win" rhetoric again. Although I hate to admit it... it really hit the mark. I'm tired and don't want to study candlesticks anymore. The frequency of black swan events is just too outrageous. What sounds nice is "letting go," but in reality, it's just accepting fate. Everyone loses money equally in the market. This is the most useful thing I've learned in the crypto world—accept that you can't control anything.

nah this is just cope for not having an edge... "fate wins" sounds nice until you realize the math doesn't check out on most retail positions tbh

Sounds good, but I still feel that there are too few places where people can put in effort. After so many years, is the final conclusion just to accept fate? That’s a bit weak. Heaven determines victory over man, so are our stop-loss and position management also predetermined by heaven? What sounds nice is acceptance, but in fact, it’s just gambling.

Well said, you really have to accept your fate. Watching the market every day is less practical than just getting a good sleep. Honestly, only after being hit by black swan events a few times do you realize that effort is futile. This article really struck a chord, especially the line "Heaven determines victory over man," which is so true. Let go of attachments, and protecting the principal is the real key. I'm just afraid that few people who understand this truth can truly put it into practice.

Nice words, heaven determines victory over man, but why don't you win every day lying down? After all this time doing chart analysis, nothing beats the phrase "leave it to fate," haha. To be honest, I've heard this "let go" theory too many times, and only a few can really do it. The deeper the research, the more pointless it is; the market just likes to go against the predictions.

Heaven's will is better defined than man’s, but I think it's more about man determining the fate... As long as you're alive, there's still a chance to turn things around.

Well said, that's enlightenment. I used to watch the markets every day, but the more I studied, the more I lost. Letting go is truly the highest realm. Heavenly destiny surpasses human effort; that's a profound statement. Do your homework well, and then leave the rest to fate. Black swan events always surprise you, haha. It's really a matter of mindset; it's easy to say but hard to do. Accept uncertainty; this is more effective than any technical indicator.

Well said, in the end, you still have to accept your fate. --- Heaven determines victory over man, but risk control is truly life-saving. --- Laughing to death, I am the kind of person who studies day and night, yet still gets hit by black swans. --- This sounds like an insight after a loss haha. --- Indeed, letting go is much more important than pre-judgment. --- So ultimately, it's still about stop-loss, you can't rely solely on analysis. --- This snapshot of life really hits home; trading is just a magnifier of reality. --- If risk control is good, most of the time surviving is winning.

You're right, the more you trade, the more you understand that fate is predetermined.

Sounds nice, but it's just gambling with luck. I believe your nonsense.
