How much money you can control in this market, in simple terms, depends on your level of understanding.

Let's start with the early stage—10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan. This is many people's first test. At this stage, it's mainly about accumulating experience, constantly trying and failing, and feeling out the market's temperament. Some can make money, but few can truly hold onto it. Making money is easy; preserving it is the real challenge.

Moving up—1 million, 3 million, 10 million. When the amount reaches this level, it’s no longer just a number; it becomes a mirror. Your emotions, your mindset, and the quality of every decision you make are all clearly visible to the market. Making a profit might still involve some luck, but to consistently and stably manage such a large amount of capital? You must have a systematic support in place.

If you find yourself able to steadily profit within a certain capital range, it indicates that your level of understanding has matched that amount of money. Want to push higher? You can, but with one prerequisite—your understanding must keep pace; you can't fall behind. Once money starts to control you, surpassing your cognitive red line, the market will simply close in on you—it's a lesson.

Essentially, wealth is the realization of your understanding. Without a protective moat of knowledge, even high returns can't withstand the test of time, and in the end, everything will revert to the starting point.

So don’t always think, "How much can I make?" First ask yourself, "How much do I deserve to have?" In this circle, the real limiting factor has never been capital itself, but your depth of understanding of this world. Keep your cognitive bottom line intact, grow step by step, and wealth will naturally settle where it belongs.
