The word "stability" has been mythologized too much in the trading circle. I have been in this industry for 11 years, and have been trading full-time for 6 years. My life is quite comfortable, with almost no pressure. To be honest, this kind of stable income is much better than a regular job, but I also have to admit—there's a ceiling, it's not an unlimited growth.

It took me 6 years, under the guidance of a mentor, to find a trading method that suits me. Now I can consistently profit, surpassing 90% of my peers, and I am quite sure of that. But to talk about becoming a billionaire is an overstatement.

I realized early on what a reliable trading system means for investors. Conversely, investing without a system is just gambling; losing more than winning is inevitable. Building an effective trading framework is not easy—truly good systems go against human nature, requiring you to control greed, suppress fear, avoid impulsive decisions based on intuition, and execute the plan 100%.

There's a classic saying in the trading circle: "90% of traders will lose 90% of their funds within the first 90 days," which is the famous 90/90/90 rule. It sounds brutal, but the statistics are there.

So how can we avoid this trap? There are a few simple but effective methods. First, before engaging in real trading, thoroughly study historical charts and conduct backtesting. New traders need to establish the concept of "trading context"—understand the conditions under which they place orders, not just buy on instinct. Observe historical trends, look for recurring patterns…

The point about the stable ceiling really hits home; making money and getting rich quickly are not the same thing at all. It took 6 years of persistence to finally understand the way; truly deserving of respect. Trading without a system is pure gambling, this phrase must be engraved in your mind. I've heard the 90/90/90 rule too many times, and there are too many vivid examples around me. Backtesting is truly an essential lesson; otherwise, you're just throwing away money.

It took 6 years of sharpening a sword to find the method, and this is the truth. Don't listen to those who say "easy passive income," it's all nonsense. To be honest, consistently making a profit is indeed better than most people, but the ceiling is right there, he’s not lying about that. The 90/90/90 rule is really not a scare tactic; there are many who die within the first three months of trading. The key is to have a system; without a system, you're just a gambler, and you're bound to lose. Backtesting and establishing a trading background are very important. Beginners are most likely to operate blindly based on feelings, ending up losing everything. His words don't sound so hype-driven; instead, they are quite clear-headed, at least he didn't boast about getting rich overnight. The real challenge is in system execution discipline; most people fail at this step because they can't control their greed.

Stability has a ceiling, and that really hit me. Compared to those who boast about getting rich overnight, this guy is honestly speaking. But it took 6 years to figure out the way... I think this path is just a trap for most people. The system is crucial, but execution is the deadly poison; most people can't do it. 90/90/90 is real, all the chives around me have verified it. Newbies, don't just listen to me; go look at the historical charts yourself to get a feel. Backtesting without a sense of experience is all nonsense. But on the other hand, achieving stable profits of over 90% among peers... how is this data calculated, is it real? The system goes against human nature, and greed and fear are the biggest enemies. This is the real talk the trading circle should hear, much better than those calling signals from big V influencers.

Stable? Don't make me laugh. It's just gambling with a different name. I just want to ask, are 90% of people really because they lack a system, or are they just bad at technology? --- Six years to find a method? Then wouldn't my three years be wasted? Haha... Looking forward to producing some results. --- It's true that going against human nature, but when it comes to the market, who can stick to their plan 100%? It's all after-the-fact armchair strategizing. --- This 90/90/90 number is getting a bit annoying. But I still haven't lived to day 91 to verify it myself. --- The ceiling is great. I like businesses with a ceiling; at least the sleep quality is good. Those who boast about getting rich overnight have already been taught a lesson by the market. --- This kind of stable income is indeed comfortable, but talking about surpassing 90% of peers... how many times more capital would I need to live up to this standard in a city? --- Backtesting? Good grief, how many people have really studied candlestick charts carefully? Aren't they just watching the calls from big V influencers?
