Learning Curve  & Industry 

One thing I like about the learning curve is that it’s very similar to a stock chart — bull runs, resistance, corrections, breakouts, and then another continuation up.
Nothing in nature stays green forever. No flower stays green every single day. Humans are the same. We can’t avoid obstacles, and we can’t always predict them. Overcoming challenges depends on how much you truly want it.

A little story about me — I used to be a cyclist, and now I’m a student. When I was younger, I couldn’t imagine myself studying at a university because all my dedication was in sports. I spent most of my time training and recovering rather than studying. Now I’ve become someone I didn’t expect — ambitious, goal-oriented, and knowledge-driven.

When I ended my cycling career, I thought my life might become meaningless. But it didn’t. Cycling gave me mental toughness, something similar to military-style discipline. I also learned how to accept quitting during what could have been my peak, even though I still had achievements and potential ahead.

I started trading when I only had £700. At that time I used leverage to trade mini stocks without knowledge or risk control. Honestly, it was mostly just trading based on feelings — basically gambling. I was very scared of losing money and very emotional, so I didn’t invest much. I didn’t win much or lose much either — I stayed around breakeven, but at least I became more aware.

While learning more about trading, I realized the market is largely a psychological game. Many people understand how markets work, but very few truly understand their own emotions, and even fewer can control them.

My first big win was GME. There was someone on YouTube (I think his name was Kitty) who held a large position in it. I invested £1,000 and £2,000 back, then i get a taliored suit for myself, haha. In addition, I missed another opportunity when it moved from $20 to $60 (around 300%) because I hesitated while watching the PnL.

At that time I thought trading wasn’t that hard. My ego grew and I thought i can cook it instead of building a proper system. I almost lost everything.

Later I found my trading edge. I learned to stay humble, seek advice, and keep learning. Trading is really a lifelong learning process, same as life.

1. The ego stage — when you think you’ve figured everything out.

2. The reality stage — when determination pushes you forward but reality keeps hitting you.

3. The decision stage — when you question yourself: should I quit, or keep going?
