The 15-day trading competition has concluded, with a principal of 10,000U achieving a 67% return. It looks pretty good, but compared to the 280% achieved on another platform before, this time is clearly not as impressive.

Ultimately, I ranked 11th. This position was actually secured the day before yesterday. At that time, I was impulsive and wanted to break into the top ten, but I almost dropped out of the top 20 in return. It was then that I realized that sometimes mindset is more valuable than skills.

Later, I understood: instead of glaring and fighting for the ranking, it's better to stay steady and hold your current position, waiting for others' mistakes. The market is always moving, and opportunities will always come. There's no need to rush.

67% still not enough? Buddy, you're spoiled by 280%. If it were me, I'd be secretly happy already. Regarding mindset, indeed. Watching you go from wanting to break into the top ten and being taught a lesson to understanding it all—that's real experience.

How was the 280% achieved? This time is really way off. Mindset, to put it simply, is greed. I've also fallen into this trap. 11th place is actually okay, but the process was mentally exhausting. The temptation of the top ten is indeed huge, almost losing the gains from before. Waiting for others' mistakes is a brilliant tactic, but it depends on whether you can hold on. 67% profit is at least a positive return, don't underestimate yourself too much. The feeling of dropping out of the top 20 in that instant must have been incredibly despairing... Actually, the ones who make the most money are often those who do nothing. I've realized this, and it's pretty good.

A 67% return still needs to compare to 280%, which really tests your mindset, haha. But that wave in the top ten was indeed risky, almost messed up, luckily I managed to pull back from the cliff.

Haha, the top ten dream is shattered, but holding onto 11th place is not bad at all, much better than those who got liquidated directly.

The 280% was really outrageous, but how should I say about this 67%? It's stable for sure, but it does feel a bit boring. The top ten is really too competitive; staying at 11th is more solid. Anyway, watching others get liquidated is quite satisfying. It's true what they say about mindset. I was also impulsive before, and I dropped straight from the top 5 to over twenty. That feeling was really uncomfortable. Now I just hold on and wait for others to self-destruct. Anyway, rushing won't bring 280% either, so I'll take it slow.
