Trading, just saying it, you can feel the promise, is that correct? Everywhere online, someone is holding out a golden ticket, whispering “financial freedom”. I have watched many telegram groups light up with big wins and even bigger dreams. There is an entire language about charts, signals, those endless threads about “the strategy”. And behind it, the stories that the right move means a bigger life. Nobody wants to say how the story usually ends. Because losing? It is ordinary. It is quieter. You do not get retweets for blowing up your savings. But losses, they are just probability collecting its due. A few years go by, and most are gone, wallets lighter, lessons heavier.

Everyone imagines they will be the exception. Because it feels better than the truth. But maybe that is how you learn resilience: by admitting that reality does not always tweet its arrival. Trading is survival, but mostly it is about learning what not to believe.
