Credit the trader who's walked through 1000 real positions, each one teaching through actual losses and wins. Not the content creator churning out book recommendations, streaming endless podcasts, or publishing feel-good stories about overnight trading breakthroughs that never happened.

Real markets reward execution, not theory. Your strategy means nothing sitting in your head—it only matters once you're actually pulling the trigger. Stop overthinking. Pick your approach. Test it. Adapt. The traders making consistent gains aren't the ones with the biggest libraries; they're the ones with the thickest logs of actual trades, honest mistakes, and hard-won conviction.

It's true, but can you really make stable profits with just 1000 orders? I've seen people who have paid tuition for over ten years still losing money...

Wow, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say. Those who publish books, do podcasts, and talk about getting rich overnight every day... are all fake. The real money-makers are in the ledgers.

Really, those who record podcasts and write book reviews every day, I just can't listen to them... It's better to directly look at the transaction records in someone's account; that's the real story.

After 1000 trades, still losing badly—this is called experience? I doubt it. --- Honestly, compared to those daily bloggers, I trust those who shut up and focus on trading. --- To put it nicely, execution is the key; no matter how many papers you write, it's useless. --- A thousand failed trades vs. one profitable idea, I choose the latter. Don’t believe it? Try it yourself. --- Having heard enough, I just want to see who makes money. --- Strategies in your mind are as good as none; you need real money to speak. --- The most annoying are those daily bloggers who constantly promote new methods—what they earn is traffic, not money. --- Wait, is what you learn from losing a thousand times really worth a right decision? --- Organizing your trading logs is indeed more useful than reading books, but only if you live long enough to do it. --- Action > Theory, there's nothing more to say. Have you all executed your stop-loss?

That's so true. Those who publish books and do podcasts every day are not as reliable as a trader who has endured hundreds of losses.
