Most traders overlook the obvious: self-discipline and portfolio management matter far more than chasing elusive market secrets. Stop hunting for that golden strategy—focus on controlling what you can control. Master your emotions, stick to your position sizing, and implement proper risk management. These fundamentals separate consistent traders from the ones who blow up their accounts chasing the next big breakout.

That's right, it's this principle — most people are still obsessed with finding some magical strategy, but they've long been crushed by discipline and risk management. I've seen too many influencers promote new indicators, only to still lose due to emotions and position management. Truly, control what you can control; everything else is just an illusion.

Exactly right, I used to be that kind of fool who constantly looked for strategies, and as a result, my account lost everything in a month haha

In plain terms, greed kills people. How many have fallen for the elusive "secret strategy"?

Exactly right. How many people are still pondering mysterious indicators, only to realize when their accounts blow up that solid fundamentals are the key.

You're right, but how many can actually do it? Everyone knows they need self-discipline and risk control, but as soon as they see a limit-up, they forget their plan. I've seen too many people talk about discipline, but their fingers are already pressing the buy button. The key is execution, brother.

That's right, this is the truth. How many people study various indicators and patterns every day, only to see everything collapse at the first pullback? Mindset and risk management are the fundamentals of survival.

Even if you say it out loud, no one will listen. Self-discipline and position management, these old clichés, will never sell for sky-high prices in training courses...
