Today's trading profit is quite good, with the account growing by 14,000 U. But to be honest, the operation rhythm didn't go as smoothly as I imagined. The morning loss once reached over 20,000 U. Fortunately, I executed the stop-loss discipline and didn't let a small loss turn into a big pit, ultimately turning losses into gains.

Reflecting on it, I indeed didn't seize particularly high-quality opportunities in short-term trading today. It feels like the market fluctuations are somewhat mismatched with my trading system. At such times, instead of forcing signals, it's better to let myself cool down and rest. Sometimes, the best trading decision is to choose not to trade.

On the path of trading, what often helps us grow the most isn't the excitement of making money, but the reflection and correction after losses. Every timely stop-loss is protecting your principal to迎接 the next opportunity. Let's encourage each other: stable returns are more worth pursuing than short-term暴利.

It was only at the moment of stop-loss that I realized what it truly means to make money To be honest, today’s 20,000 loss was cut immediately, which is worth much more than the courage to go all-in like many others Not trading really is a form of cultivation

The stop-loss discipline is well maintained, but going from -20,000 to +14,000 shows a pretty interesting retracement amplitude. By the way, your "not trading is the best trading" statement is fortunate that you survived today; otherwise, it would have become "being forced not to trade." When the pattern doesn't match, the system should take a break. In this regard, you're much more clear-headed than most gamblers.

The discipline of stop-loss is truly amazing; many people just stubbornly hold on and are unwilling to admit defeat. Sometimes not trading is more profitable than trading. Have you realized this? 14,000 is good, but this repeated tossing around has been too exhausting. If the system doesn't match, just take a break; don't force it. Reflecting on oneself is much more valuable than account growth.

Stop-loss really saved me so many times; I would have gone bankrupt long ago.

The discipline of stop-loss really saves lives, not a joke If I had known earlier, I would have just taken a break, to avoid that set of operations in the morning This is the mindset a trader should have Not many can resist the urge to trade... really rare 14,000 profit turned into a loss, and the key is that I realized it, awesome

Stop-loss discipline really saves lives; not all market conditions require participation. This turnaround from loss to profit still depends on staying calm. I have to say, I’m a bit impressed with myself. Holding a cash position is more uncomfortable than trying to catch the bottom, but maybe that’s the art of staying alive. 14,000 sounds comfortable, but I care more about that 20,000 trap not actually happening. Honestly, not trading might earn more than trading itself. That’s a bit of a punch to the gut. Stability > Explosive profits—that’s my belief. When the market doesn’t match the system, forcing trades is just asking for trouble. Stop-loss has saved me countless times; I can’t even count.
