I finally turned things around today after climbing out of a $10,000 loss pit.

The journey has been a bit tortuous—frequent stop-losses, missed rebounds, and those seemingly certain judgments have all backfired. But you know what? The market has always been like this. It punishes those who blindly follow the trend, while rewarding those who persist in the darkness.

The key is not to give up. Every loss is an opportunity to learn again. When you can stay clear-headed amidst the ups and downs, acknowledge your mistakes, adjust your strategy, and keep moving forward, that is when you truly become the captain of your own fate.

Yesterday you were on the brink of bankruptcy, and today your account has turned green. This is not luck; it is the accumulation of all those denied days — experience, patience, and respect for the market.

So don't ask why others can make money, first ask yourself what you have done.
