Today, I completed a total of 12 short-term trades, with the majority at the 10-minute level, and only two at the 30-minute level. Looking at the results, 8 trades were profitable, and 4 were losses, with a win rate close to 70%, which is not too bad.

Theoretically, this wave of market movement could have yielded a profit of 48.5u, but in reality, only 12.5u was realized, showing a significant gap. This is the gap between reality and expectations—the market always offers surprises and lessons. Fixed 5u position sizing for each trade keeps risk manageable, preventing liquidation or being caught in deep positions.

The most satisfying moment was when I had a floating profit of 22.5u. At that point, I was a bit greedy and wanted to continue chasing, but after two consecutive losses, I decided to stop. Sometimes, knowing when to stop is more important than stubbornly pushing forward. These two losses serve as a reminder that short-term trading is fast-paced, and a wrong judgment can easily lead to being proven wrong.

That's all for today. Come back tomorrow, and continue to speak with data and risk control.

Oh no, it's that gap between ideals and reality again. Dropped from 48 to 12 directly, it hurts. Unrealized profit of 22.5 still want to buy more, but ended up with two consecutive losses teaching you a lesson. That's the price of greed; this is how short-term trading goes. A 70% win rate sounds good, but not making much money is the real pain. Fortunately, risk control held firm. Two consecutive losses aren't a big deal; just keep going tomorrow and it'll be fine. This wave of momentum is really fast; reacting a fraction of a second too slow means getting hit. You have to respect the market more.

The unrealized profit of 22.5u wasn't maintained. This is the cruelty of short-term trading. Greed for two seconds and you'll be taught a lesson by the market.

A 70% win rate sounds good, but the gap from 48 to 12.5... this is the reality of short-term trading. Expectations can never keep up with execution. Greedy on those two trades is really the biggest enemy. When profits are high, you should cut them decisively, or the market will teach you a lesson in a minute. I need to learn the trick of fixed 5u position management; at least it can keep my mindset more stable and prevent always thinking about going all-in to turn things around.
