The game never stops. You can't afford to rest on your laurels. Think you've figured it all out? That's exactly the trap most traders fall into. The moment you get comfortable—when you think the bull run is endless and losses are impossible—that's when reality hits hardest. And honestly, this overconfidence, this "I've got it handled" mentality, is what keeps cycling us through these boom-and-bust patterns. Markets don't reward complacency. They punish it.

That's so true. I fell for this last time, thinking I had understood it, but I got hit hard in the end.

That's right, so many people have died on the phrase "I've already made money," only to be slapped in the face directly.

That's so true. Many people ruin themselves with the confidence of "I've already understood." Really, once you start to think you've seen through everything, the day of liquidation is not far away.

When you're comfortable, you should die—that's such a harsh truth...

nah this is basically what happens when you treat trading like a michelin-star kitchen with no head chef... one day you think your recipe's perfect, next thing you know the whole dish collapses lol. the arrogance is the real poison, not the market itself fr

Damn, it's the same old story... I lost 30% the last time I listened to this.
