At The Trading Pit, we take immense pride in seeing traders grow, thrive, and inspire others. One such inspiring story comes from Zaijie , a veteran trader whose journey into the world of trading is a masterclass in perseverance, adaptation, and quiet strength.
15 Years of Persistence and Passion
Zaijie, hailing from Xiangyang in Hubei, China, began his trading career back in 2008 while still in university. What started as a curiosity quickly evolved into a deep-rooted passion, even through years of trials and continuous learning. His trading career, spanning over 15 years, reflects not just skill - but relentless commitment.
“In the beginning, I was losing money constantly, but I never lost confidence,” Zaijie recalls. “If you want to get good at this, you have to persist. There were moments of despair, but I kept going.”
After years of unstable returns, he experienced a mindset breakthrough that helped him finally begin trading consistently and profitably.
Finding the Right Platform with The Trading Pit
Zaijie’s decision to join The Trading Pit was shaped by a mix of curiosity and community recommendations. What won him over was the platform’s accessibility and support:
“The withdrawal speed was incredibly fast,” he says. “Once, after my withdrawal was approved, the funds didn’t arrive. I reported it - and the issue was solved that same night.”
The platform’s Chinese-language service and responsive support made him feel truly valued. Since then, Zaijie has completed over 13 successful withdrawals—an achievement that stands as a testament to his consistency.
Trading Philosophy: Mindset Over Metrics
While Zaijie has strong technical skills—especially in currency and oil trading—he credits his mindset for his success. His key message for new funded traders is simple: don’t trade when you’re emotionally charged.
“Once you pass the evaluation and get a funded account, wait until your emotions settle before trading. In my experience, 80% of the time when I traded immediately after getting the account, I lost money.”
He encourages a patient, calculated approach: take your time, trade only when the opportunity is strong, and avoid letting greed take over. He describes trading as a process of “two steps forward, one step back”—and emphasizes the importance of risk control above all.
Looking Ahead: Bigger Goals, Smarter Trades
Zaijie’s current goal is to maximize his existing $150,000 funded account and work toward the full $400,000 target in the coming months. His strategy moving forward is to focus more on four-hour timeframe setups and swing trades, drawing inspiration from more experienced traders he admires.
“I’m aiming for long-term, consistent gains—not trying to make 20% in a month. Even just 3–5% per month is enough if I scale the capital properly. That’s the mindset I’m following.”
He hopes to share his journey with others in the community, helping them avoid common pitfalls and build their own success stories.
