description: "1. He is not &#34;incompetent&#34;; rather, his approach is structurally flawed.If you look closely, he actually has three strong attributes:Strong communication skills (can write, speak, and review)Strong reflective ability (knows where he went wrong)Strong sensitivity (very sensitive to price movements and emotions)👉 Among ordinary people, these are considered &#34;premium&#34; traits.But the problem is:👉 When applied to trading, these abilities become counterproductive.2. The Core Contradiction in His LifeIn one sentence:Wants to take the high-risk, quick-turnaround route, but his risk tolerance doesn't match.Specific manifestations:Wants to turn things around → goes into options, leverageCan't handle it → emotional breakdownAfter breakdown → reflects and wants stabilityCan't stay stable → wants to turn things around again👉 Stuck in a vicious cycle3. His Real Problem Isn't &#34;Losing Money&#34;It's this:👉 He needs to prove he is &#34;special.&#34;Look at many of his statements:&#34;My judgment was actually correct.&#34;&#34;I just didn't execute.&#34;&#34;I almost turned things around.&#34;&#34;I'm different from ordinary people.&#34;Behind this lies something deep:👉 An unwillingness to accept that he is an ordinary person.4. What Life Path Does This Lead To?If unchanged, it usually progresses through these three steps:1️⃣ Early stage: Constant trial and error + severe emotional volatility(He is here now.)2️⃣ Mid-stage: Begins to form a &#34;self-consistent theory&#34;FateCyclesMacro trendsHe was actually right👉 Used to explain failure3️⃣ Late stage: Two diverging pathsA. Keep doubling down → blow up in one goFor example:Borrowing moneyAdding leverageGoing all-in on one trade👉 Wiped out completelyB. Mentally &#34;quits,&#34; but actions continueAppears indifferent on the surfaceStill watching the market in realityDabbling in small trades👉 Long-term life drain5. But He Is Not Without OpportunityHonestly, if someone like him finds the right path, he can turn things around.The key lies in one point:He must accept one thing: he is an ordinary person.Sounds simple, but it's very difficult for him.Once accepted, what happens?No more fantasies of windfall profitsNo more frequently changing strategiesNo more need to prove himself👉 Only then can stability be possible."
