Many people ask how to stand out in trading. Actually, the secret isn't that complicated.

First is stability. Don't fantasize about getting rich overnight, as that will only lead you to frequent trading and chasing highs and lows. Successful traders are those who can stick to a certain method and accumulate over time. Consistent execution itself is a competitive advantage.

Second is psychological resilience. Can you stay calm during market fluctuations? Can you control your hands when you see your account showing floating losses? Often, it's not about technical skills but mindset. Overcoming psychological hurdles allows you to make rational decisions under pressure.

Finally—and most easily overlooked—is trade review. After each trade, review what you did, record why you did it, the outcome, and where you can improve. This habit can turn you from a rookie into a veteran. It may seem basic, but 99% of people can't stick to it.

None of these are advanced skills; in fact, they are the most fundamental lessons. It is precisely these basics that can set you apart from most people.

Basically, no one can stick with it, and I haven't either. Reviewing things sounds simple, but out of ten people who try, only one really makes it. The hardest part is mindset. I've seen top-notch technical experts ruin themselves. Stability is indeed the key, but it really tests human nature.

Honestly, the most difficult part of review is sticking to it. I am that 99% of people. --- I have deep experience with stability. The dream of getting rich overnight should have been awakened long ago. --- Mindset is the real killer. If your skills are lacking, you can learn; if your mentality collapses, it's over. --- Everyone knows the basic skills, but they perform poorly when it comes to execution. --- The habit of review can indeed change your fate, but many give up after just two weeks. --- It sounds simple, but actually doing it is extremely difficult... Especially when losing money, can you stay calm? --- I'm not saying this, but most people lose because of poor psychological quality; technical skills are secondary.

That's right, the review process is really the bottleneck. No one really sticks to it, everyone is just thinking about how to turn things around with the next deal. I've seen too many people lose their mindset completely and go all-in on reckless moves... and then there's no coming back. Stability is actually the hardest part, even though it sounds simple. Review, review—people know it but just can't be bothered to do it.

To be honest, I haven't been persistent enough with review and reflection, often going three days of trading and two days of taking a break. Only those who have truly made money can speak about mental resilience; beginners simply can't understand that feeling. Stability is indeed the insurance for survival, but who doesn't want to make quick money? That's where the challenge lies. The dream of getting rich overnight really needs to wake up, only after waking up can trading become clear-headed. I find it hard to believe that 99% of people can't achieve this; it should be even higher.

You're right, I have the deepest understanding of review and analysis. It took me half a year to gradually figure out my own patterns. Really? When the mentality collapses, all techniques are useless. I've seen too many people panic and lose 5% of their funds. Stability is the most underestimated aspect. The dream of getting rich overnight should have been awakened long ago. Review, review, review—it's that simple, but few actually do it. Mental resilience is spot on; when the market fluctuates, true colors are revealed. Once the basic skills are in place, the rest is just a matter of time. Frequent trading is suicide. I've seen too many people like that.

That's right, reviewing is the hardest to stick to, but it really is the reason why 99% of people fail.

You're right, it's just that there's a huge gap between knowing and doing... When it comes to review, I've seen too many people who talk a good game but when their accounts lose money, they act like nothing happened. The key is mindset. Two people with similar skills, ultimately, it's about who can resist making reckless moves. That fantasy of getting rich overnight, I've already given it up. In the end, it only hurts your own account. Basically, it's about finding a method you can stick to, then just keep going day by day, and your account will grow on its own.
