Don't focus on "profit"


First, address the "trading process" correctly. In the early stages of trading, 95% of traders make the same mistake: they overly focus on profit and loss results. They either set a goal for themselves to "make XX yuan a day" or regret for half a day over a losing trade. As a result, the more they focus, the more confused they become, and their trading decisions are completely swayed by emotions. The real key is to focus on the process you can control and ignore the results you cannot control. What you can control: whether you strictly follow trading rules, whether you conduct proper review, and whether you manage your positions well; what you cannot control: market trends, the profit and loss of a single trade (even if the strategy is perfect, there will still be normal fluctuations of loss). If a loss is a "normal fluctuation within the strategy"—for example, entering according to rules and setting stop-loss, but the market did not move as expected—then there is no need to regret it; calmly welcome the next trade. Being overly entangled in profit and loss will only lead you to lose direction in the market's random fluctuations, making your performance worse instead.
