In this trading market,
What impresses me the most isn't those who make quick fortunes,
but those who can weather bull and bear markets, exit safely, and continue to profit consistently.

These people all have
a mindset system refined through years of market trials
— not flashy, not mystical, yet steadfast in the face of human nature.

Today we won't talk about techniques or indicators,
just these 10 core trading mindsets.
They might save you three years of detours.

🚩1. First survive, then make money
Beginner asks: Which strategy makes the most money?
Expert thinks: How can I avoid being eliminated?
The first principle of trading is not getting rich quick, but surviving.
Only those who are alive have the right to talk about making a profit.
Top traders are almost neurotic about risk control.
Because they know:
One wrong move by over-leveraging can wipe out all your accumulated wealth.
Trading is the art of risk management.
It's not a show for profit.

🚩2. This is a game of probability, not a prediction contest.
Many people are obsessed with predicting the next rise or fall.
It's as if possessing the "truth" guarantees victory.

But experts know that prediction is useless; managing probability is the real skill.

No one can predict correctly every time.
But you can always be on the side with the higher winning percentage.
To trade with a positive expected value, control losses and maximize profits.
Build a profit curve over time.
You're not guessing the market; you're making friends with probability.

🚩3. Following the trend is an ironclad rule; going against the trend comes at a price.
The trend is your best friend; going against the trend is your greatest enemy.

Contrarian trading seems smart and special.
But most people don't die because of trends.
Instead, they died in the illusion of "buying at the top and selling at the bottom".

Remember: You don't have to buy at the lowest price or sell at the highest price.
Just focus on capturing the most certain upward wave in the middle.

🚩4. Strategies don't need to be perfect, but they must be stable.
Top traders never believe in a 100% win rate.

What they care about is: can this strategy be effective in the long run?
Can it be repeated? Is it suitable for my personality?

A system that scores 70 points but can be executed 100 times.
It's better than a system that scores 90 points but you give up after three tries.

A trading system doesn't need to be perfect, but it should be stable, replicable, and able to withstand verification.

🚩5. Money management determines life or death.
Position size is a trader's "lifeline leverage".

Top traders never go all in.
Instead, it involves precisely controlling the risk exposure of each transaction.
They understand that controlling the decline is equivalent to amplifying the rise.

Even with a high win rate and clear logic,
A single large loss can wipe out an entire account.
In the world of trading, true stability is not about never losing money, but about being able to afford to lose.

🚩6. Cut your losses quickly, and hold onto your profits.
The biggest problem for beginners is that they are reluctant to cut their losses and impatient to take profits.

Top traders do the opposite:
Cut losses decisively, hold onto profits tenfold.

Their profit and loss structure is:
Small loss + small loss + small loss + big profit.
This asymmetric structure is the key to the strategy's success.
The market does not reward those who are "right every time".
Instead, the reward is for those who "leave when they're wrong and take what they're right."

🚩7. Your mindset determines your profits and losses.
Technology can be learned, systems can be copied, but mindset can only be cultivated.

Top traders have a calm and accepting mindset, able to accept uncertainty.
They can remain calm and composed amidst the ups and downs of profits and losses.

Many people don't lose because of market conditions.
Instead, it was its own restless, greedy, and fearful heart that caused it to lose.
True masters are not those who are without fear.
Instead, they remained disciplined despite their fear.

🚩8. Post-trade mindset: The end of a trade is just the beginning.
Top traders all have a habit of writing trading logs and reviewing past trades.
They don't dwell on failures, but rather extract reusable lessons from them.

An excellent debriefing is a closed loop of "pre-event rehearsal + post-event verification".
It can continuously optimize strategies, improve execution, and solidify trading logic.
Retrospective analysis is a trader's record of reflection and an accelerator for growth.

🚩9. Less is more, and focus is better than anything else.
Top traders don't overdo it.
They often only trade one or two market conditions and use only one or two signals.
They know that the more strategies there are, the more chaotic things become, and the more mixed the signals, the more hesitant they become.

The real money isn't about having "a lot of skills."
Instead, it's about "practicing one move to its fullest potential."

You don't need to participate in every market trend.
Just be patient and wait for your opportunity to come.
Then repeat this a thousand times, and wealth will naturally accumulate.

🚩10. Think independently and don't follow the crowd.
The most important quality: independent thinking.
They make decisions without asking for the opinions of everyone.
I won't change myself just because others are bullish or bearish.

They have faith in their system.
Have a sense of awe for market uncertainties.

True masters all "look at their own pictures,
A person who "speaks his own words and walks his own path".

Don't panic when others are panicking, stay calm when others are excited.
This is the key to your ability to widen the gap.

Trading is never a game of talent or winning.
Rather, it is about cultivating one's mindset, cognition, and execution.

Top traders are not without emotions.
It's not like we haven't experienced setbacks.
They simply understood this sooner than others:
To win in the market, you can't rely on luck.
Rather, it's about structured thinking and the habit of repeated refinement.

These 10 core mindsets are not shortcuts.
Rather, it is the foundation for long-term, stable profits.
They are simple, yet not easy; they seem ordinary, yet extremely rare.
May you stop chasing miracles.
But it is in countless ordinary trading days,
Step by step towards your extraordinary future.
