Every trader is a warrior, but the real opponent is not the market itself. What you need to overcome are those lurking within—fear, greed, impatience. Even more daunting is the barrier within your mind. Master your emotions and decisions to survive amidst volatility. Conquer your inner demons, and you are much stronger than you think. Success or failure in trading often hinges on a single thought.

tbh the "mind over market" angle gets thrown around so much in trading circles, but here's what my students actually struggle with—they *know* the psychology matters, just can't execute it when liquidation's staring them down lol

That's right, but it's easy to flip back and forth in a moment of hesitation. Just yesterday, I was firm in my decision, and today I find myself trapped and back to square one...

You're right, but the real difficulty is knowing what to do; executing it is still challenging. I am a living example—knowing a bunch of theories in theory, but when real trading gets tense, I forget everything. Inner demons are even harder to endure than a bear market.

Really! The biggest demon is the most terrifying. Damn, I always die because of greed!

It sounds good, but this set of logic has quite a few flaws. Emotional management is indeed important, but the problem is— the market's own incentive mechanism is guiding you to make mistakes. This isn't a matter of inner demons; it's the flawed design of the game theory itself.

According to the database, the number of times this statement has been published has reached a new all-time high. It has been since the last time someone said "Overcoming the inner demon can make money"... Never mind, it's all in the past.
