The trading experience these past two days has been quite interesting. I made a profit yesterday, lost today, but the win rate is surprisingly the same—both are 68.7%. It looks similar, but the actual results are completely opposite.

In the morning, I used a fixed stop loss of 0.5u and was frequently stopped out. I definitely took a loss. The problem is clear: there is too little tolerance for errors. I need to adjust my strategy to give the stop loss some breathing room.

The trades in the afternoon were even more painful. I opened positions based on a certain idea, and almost immediately they were in loss. The market kept rising without giving a chance for a pullback. I reflected on this and realized it might be related to setting the RSI upper band at 80. With such a strong trend, the indicator didn’t hit the brakes, and I felt uneasy. To be cautious, I often closed positions early, which actually led to bigger losses. This explains why my win rate exceeds 50%, but my account is still in the red.

Tomorrow’s plan: I must incorporate the trend direction on the larger timeframe and key support and resistance levels into my decision-making logic. First confirm the overall trend, then wait for key levels to give reasonable entry signals. This way, stop loss and take profit can be based on solid reasoning, and execution can be more flexible. I can’t rigidly rely on a single indicator; multiple dimensions need to work together.

Continuing tomorrow. Not aiming for big profits, just controlling losses first.
