Traders who truly survive in this market have a fierce determination deep inside.

To put it simply, this job is about going solo: bullish or bearish? You decide. Add to your position or reduce it? You weigh it yourself. If you get liquidated, no one will reach out to pull you out; if you make a killing, don’t expect anyone to celebrate with you.

What’s the most heartbreaking? The people around you simply don’t understand what you’re doing — they can’t grasp how you can stare at the K-line until 3 a.m., nor do they feel the heart-wrenching pain when you close a position to cut losses. This path is destined to be walked alone.

The loneliness of watching the market at 3 a.m., only traders truly understand it—the kind they can't really put into words. --- When you get margin called, no one will cry with you; when you make a fortune, no one will celebrate for you. It's just that cruel. --- Walking this path alone, with no way out, only relentless persistence. --- Determination? That's what the market beats into you; there's no other choice. --- People around me look at me staying up late checking K-line charts as if I'm crazy. Forget it, they'll never understand. --- Honestly, it's just a struggle with oneself. Gains and losses are all on you; who do you expect to save you? Dream on. --- The harshest thing in this industry isn't losing money, but having no one around who understands what you're doing. --- That mindset at 3 a.m.—no matter how you try to explain it to others, they just won’t get it. So, better not to explain.

Honestly, this paragraph hit me. The feeling of staring at the screen alone until 3 a.m. — only those who have experienced it can understand, others simply can't empathize.

Loneliness isn't scary; getting liquidated is the real danger.

It’s really harsh, but that’s the reality. Loneliness is the fate of traders. --- That feeling of watching the market at 3 a.m. is hard to describe; my family still thinks I’m sick. --- Only at the moment of liquidation do you truly understand what loneliness means; no one can help you. --- Grit? Sometimes it’s just persistence in despair, nothing else. --- People around you will never understand why you push yourself so hard; it’s just ridiculous. --- The joy of making money is never shared, and when you lose, no one is there to accompany you. This job is basically self-torture. --- Walking alone to the end isn’t pretending to be cool; it’s because no one really understands this mindset.

nah, the isolation part hits different once you've actually lived through it. learned this the hard way when my entire stack went sideways at 3am and there was literally nobody to call. that's when you realize it's just you vs the charts, no safety net.

It's truly heartbreaking; it's really just one person groping in the dark, no one can help you. --- At three in the morning, when watching the market, the clearest thing is that this is a lonely game. --- Only at the moment of liquidation do you realize what true ruthlessness is—being tough on yourself. --- People around us simply can't understand; they think we're just gamblers, unaware that every decision involves cutting into our own flesh. --- Walking alone to the end? I'm used to it already; once you're used to it, it doesn't hurt anymore. --- Listening to these words sounds right, but those who truly survive have long swallowed these words. --- The scariest thing isn't liquidation itself, but the fact that no one can share that complex feeling. --- You do need to be ruthless, but more often, it's a helplessness forced by the market.

3 a.m. monitoring the market is truly a lonely practice; no one can understand that feeling. Honestly, you only realize who your true friends are when you get liquidated. Determination? That's something the market has trained you to have; there's no choice. Carrying the position alone, whether you win or lose, it's all your own account. The moment you cut your losses is more heartbreaking than any breakup.

Honestly, the hardest part isn't losing money, but that no one understands why you want to push yourself so hard
