Today is September 14, 2025, at 8:25 PM. This week, my trading account has finally managed to grow a bit, but in just three short days, I lost nearly everything, with the root cause being emotional Heavy Position, specifically revenge trading after stop loss. When the account was close to dropping to zero, after the last trade ended, I felt very exhausted. This is a stage that 99% of people will go through, and I have experienced it countless times. After returning from Shenzhen, I started to build my own system and strategy with 100u, but I ultimately fell victim to emotions. Technical and fundamental judgment are secondary; making profits is easy, but maintaining stability is difficult. This road is truly challenging, and I don't know how long it will take me to get through it. It may involve repeated despair, continuous refinement of the system, and repeated win rates, along with unwavering execution. I've said too much, and I don't even believe in myself anymore. However, as one of my frens said, it is this pain that keeps you moving forward... Continuous losses and emotional trading can distort a person's psychology and operations. The so-called not taking profits and the so-called lock in profits are actually part of the system. A stable execution system alone keeps 95% of people out. Why not take profits? Because they see a bigger opportunity. Why lock in profits? Because they see the risks. Many people say I have a strong will, but I know it's because I see a bigger opportunity. However, no matter how big the opportunity is, it can't withstand the fluctuations and stop losses along the way. The reason for this lies in not understanding the time cycles in technical judgment or having too strong of a subjective mindset, thinking the market will move as you want. Additionally, the direction differs across various cycles.


These are not the most important things; what matters is that there is no fixed system that can be steadfastly executed. This fixed system includes entry and exit systems. The mistake most people make is placing 15-minute orders while aiming for 1-4 hour take profit levels, but the stop loss is unreasonable. Therefore, most people prefer short positions. Whether short positions can provide stable profits is debatable. If stable profits are to be made, it must be based on an execution system. The two brothers, greed and fear, will always accompany you.
Secondly, trading should be logical, not just based on charts.
Don't rush, most losses are caused by hasty entries. If your mental state is not normal, then don't trade. Even if I say it, you might not listen or execute.
No money left, let's take a break for a while, watch the market more, review and think, summarize, find methods, and talk when there's money again.
