Survive the Market, Keep the Flame Alive

There was once a candle burning in a dark room.

Every night, the darkness surrounded it. The candle felt small, almost useless, compared to the never-ending black. But it kept burning.

At first, the candle thought it had to fight the darkness. It wanted to shine stronger, to push the darkness away. But then it realised something important, darkness never goes away. It will always be there.

The candle could not win against the dark.
Its only job was to survive the night.
Even with a small flame, it could give enough light to walk, to see, to keep hope alive.

Over time, the candle understood: strength was not about fighting. Strength was about lasting.

Trading is very similar.

The market is like the darkness. It is huge, unpredictable, and does not care what you want. You cannot control it.

Your job as a trader is not to fight the market. Your job is to protect your flame, your money, your patience, your discipline.

The traders who last are not the ones chasing big profits every day. They are the ones who protect themselves, who stay calm, and who last long enough to see opportunities.

This game is not about controlling the market. It is about controlling yourself.

Good trading is not exciting. It is simple, repetitive, and sometimes boring. But boring is safe. And safe is what keeps your flame alive.

Wins will come. Losses will come. Neither will destroy you if your flame is protected.

Ask yourself:

• Can you protect your money on bad days?
  
• Can you accept small losses without fear?
  
• Can you stay patient when nothing is happening?
  

The market will always be uncertain. The darkness will always be there.
But if you can keep your light burning, the morning will come.
