Many people enter the market and fall into a misconception: thinking that to make money, you must have extraordinary talent. In fact, that's not necessary.
The fastest way to grow is simple: stand on the shoulders of giants. It's not about reinventing the wheel, but about directly applying market-validated trading logic and risk management frameworks.
Look at those who have been in this circle for a long time—they don't have any secret techniques; it's just continuous learning, copying proven strategies, and then sticking to them. Treat the pitfalls others have stepped into as a map, and you'll naturally be able to move faster than 99% of people.
Reading books, studying cases, consulting experts—these seemingly basic actions are precisely the watershed that separates most retail traders from success.

That's right, talent really has been mythologized; the key is still copying + executing.
Wait, then why have I seen so many people following textbooks still losing money? It doesn't seem like the method is the problem...
Copying strategies sounds simple, but in practice, a slight mistake can ruin everything. Who teaches the mindset?
That's why I spend more time analyzing expert traders' logs than reading influencer articles, at least to understand how they truly stumble.
Pits also have levels; I prefer to step into pits others have already fallen into rather than trying to innovate.

That's right, talent isn't really that important. The key is to copy homework.
If copying and pasting doesn't make money, then it's hard to save.
The pits you've stepped into have already been paved for you by others. Just follow along.

There's nothing wrong with that; most people can't stick to seemingly simple things, and that's the true watershed.

That's true, but there are still too few people who can really do it. Most people still want to take shortcuts, but end up getting cut.

That's right, you need to use your brain instead of gambling on luck.
