First year in this and they call you crazy.

Second year: you are already a player in the market.

Third year: they see you as someone who goes beyond the normal, who risks without restraint.

Fifth year... ah, that’s when luck smiles on you and everyone notices the change.

Tenth year comes the question everyone asks: how did you do it?

This is trading. Time, persistence, and a dose of madness that eventually turns into intuition.

Haha, I was indeed considered crazy in the first year, but once I persisted, I understood... that feeling is truly unmatched.

Ten years to understand? I think most people give up by the second year.

Haha, it takes ten years to go from a lunatic to a genius. This roadmap cracked me up.

Damn, this is reality. The past three years have been like living as a madman, surrounded by doubts. Ten years of sharpening the sword, and in the end, the winner takes all. Others just ask, why?

Haha, I was laughing to death. The part about being considered crazy in the first year really hit home. I still remember the expressions on my friends' faces when I told them I wanted to do trading...

Bro, this timeline is really harsh... First year called crazy, tenth year all about sucking up, but who cares about the blood loss in those middle years?

My buddy is right, the first three years were really the "eating dirt" phase... However, I think that the "Lucky Smile" in the fifth year is a trap; half of the people there directly got liquidated. Only those who survive ten years of success are truly successful; many have died along the way.

Haha, really, in the first year I was criticized the most, but by the tenth year I became a "big shot." This is the magical reality of the trading market.

Really? No doubt about it, in the first year I was treated like a lunatic, haha.
