What does it mean to be a truly disciplined trader? Consistency rewards everything. Look at how those consistently profitable traders operate: maximum drawdown must be set in advance, daily risk limits should be clearly defined, and profit targets need to be well understood. These three points are non-negotiable, with no exceptions. In other words, if you can't even follow basic trading rules, don't even think about using leverage. Leverage is for those who are truly disciplined — not for gamblers. A simple framework, professional execution — this is what a serious trader looks like.

It sounds good, but according to on-chain data, very few traders can truly stick to these three points... Most people have discipline in their words but lack discipline in their wallets.

That's true, but how many people can actually do it? Most still have the mindset of "Today I want to recover yesterday's losses," haha.

That was really harsh. I was saved once by this framework. I used to not set a drawdown limit and lost everything in one go, questioning my life. Now I only place trades after calculating everything carefully.

That's right, discipline is life. I've seen too many people who shout about self-discipline every day, then turn around and go all-in, only to end up losing everything. Drawdowns, risk limits, and profit targets—these three things really need to be ingrained in your mind, not just written down and glanced at twice.

There's nothing wrong with that, but to be honest, 99% of people will forget after reading this, and they'll still play leverage tomorrow.

That's true, but how many actually manage to do it? I took a look around, and most people simply can't stick to their own rules.
