#美国贸易赤字状况 I have experienced a clear liquidation that woke me up.

It was just before the market peak, with nearly 800,000 in my account. One night, I saw a positive news and impulsively decided to push the market up, rushing in without much thought. As a result, the market immediately moved in the opposite direction, and within minutes, a liquidation warning popped up— I collapsed on the spot.

Things got even worse afterward. Unwilling to accept defeat, wanting to turn things around, I insisted on digging deeper. The more I lost, the more I tried to make up for it; the more I tried to make up, the more I lost. In less than a month, my account went from 800,000 to zero. My confidence evaporated along with it.

During that time, I blamed luck, the market, and information— but never blamed myself. Only later, through repeated review, did I realize: it’s not about courage, but about control of the rhythm. The market is actually very simple—it doesn’t feed on passion, it harvests impulsiveness.

**The real turning point happened the moment I stopped "predicting".**

No longer guessing tops or bottoms, chasing highs or selling lows, or operating based on intuition. I focused all my energy on two words: structure and rhythm. I built a very simple execution framework— only act when specific conditions appear, and otherwise wait patiently.

This approach may sound not clever:
No betting on one-sided moves, no chasing vague signals, no frequent entries and exits.

But strangely, it allowed me to operate only two or three times a day, maintaining consistent efficiency, rather than relying on some miracle moment to turn things around. Later, I mentored a few people— some with small accounts, but they could gradually grow using this rhythm; others worked during the day, using fixed time windows to execute, and still accumulated profits steadily.

I gradually saw a pattern:
Most people are not lacking in skills, but are too impatient. Impatient to recover losses, double their money, or prove themselves, resulting in chaotic rhythm. Once the rhythm is broken, the quality of subsequent decisions drops sharply.

Now I only stick to four rules:

**Wait for the structure to be in place before acting** — no predictions, only follow the established structure
**Allocate risk properly before entering** — each position size must be predetermined
**Plan exit routes in advance** — don’t wait for the market to tell you how to run
**Execute without emotion** — plans and actions must be separated

Sounds simple? Extremely difficult to do. The market is never afraid of your lack of brains; what it fears most is your inability to control yourself. Those who can truly go far here have learned one thing: stay steady, survive first. The longer you survive, the more your compound interest can work.
