Someone often asks me, since scalping is a game that requires patience, how can you turn small funds into large funds? Honestly, making money is never about technical skills; it's about human nature.

What’s the most ridiculous situation you've seen? Not a thousand-fold market—anyone can get lucky there—but after earning hundreds of thousands, a sudden downturn instantly wipes it all out. That moment of mental collapse is even more painful than a margin call. The market never shows mercy unless you learn self-discipline.

I’ve experienced setbacks early on. When I made a little profit, I’d get cocky and habitually add to my position until my fingers trembled; when I lost a bit, I’d stubbornly hold on, afraid that cutting losses would turn my rebound into someone else’s gain. It wasn’t until I was thoroughly beaten by the market a few times that I understood what "the market is the best teacher" really means. Scalping is never a get-rich-quick game; fundamentally, it’s about patience—waiting for the right market conditions, waiting for the main force to start a trend, and only acting once the signals are confirmed.

The easiest trap for beginners is "itchy hands." Always wanting to try, but every attempt ends in a loss. The first golden rule I learned is simple: take out your principal after making a profit; only the remaining funds are for betting. That mindset is completely different.

My current approach has been set. When it rises by 50%, I move my stop-loss to the cost price, so I can comfortably ride the trend; when it doubles, I lock in profits immediately—never greedy. Staying alive and leaving the market is always more important than how much you make.

Most failures are rarely due to the market itself; they often stem from these factors: fear, impatience, gambling mentality, stubbornness. The destructive power of these emotions far exceeds the market’s fluctuations. Don’t indulge in the daydream of overnight riches; even earning ten times in a day won’t change much. Aim for consistent profits because once the principal is gone, the game is over.
