First is Trading = zero-sum game! If anyone doesn't know, they should stop their risky ventures right away.

Secondly, who sits at this table?

C1 market maker (shark bookmaker)

C2 liquidity exchanges

C3 retail investors

To reiterate about the defeated in this zero-sum game, I lost my morning coffee budget until 8 o'clock, my wife is in debt, and most of them are in C3. Why?

ILLUSION, because being a trader is too easy! Just spend a few hundred VND per account, download the app and start trading. Or you don’t even need to open an account, just give someone your money to trade for you and collect the profits at the end of the month. That’s an illustration.

When considering a profession, be aware of this. To open a restaurant, one must know how to cook; if not, they need to study for 3 to 6 months or longer. To practice medicine, they must spend 7 to 10 years studying. In short, any profession requires investment of money, effort, and time to learn, practice, learn more, and then continue practicing.

Only the trading profession seems to bypass those requirements, so it’s understandable when someone becomes a stock trader and ends up getting wrecked!

Survive!

The first principle of a trader is to survive first, then think about making money. There’s a saying you’ve surely heard: "First, do not lose money; second, never forget the first rule!" Only about 5% of people understand this, and understanding is not just about reading but absorbing the concept... (There will be a live session for a deeper explanation). In a battle, it doesn’t matter how many matches you win; what matters is that you are the last one standing.

Make a profit!

Price paths are the same, data is the same. The crowd sees this too, so how can you make a profit?

One must go ahead of the crowd, requiring a keen analytical ability, so when the crowd recognizes the issue, I have already exited the game, letting the crowd tear each other apart.

Secondly, you must be an observer, like a predator waiting for the target's vulnerability; when the crowd is wrong, you jump in to correct it.
