#美联储恢复降息节奏 After being in this line for a long time, the most feared thing is not losing money, but not knowing how you lost it.

Last month I met Lao Zhang, and he stared at me asking: "Aren't you worried about your trading?"

I said: "I'm panicking, but I know how panicked I can get at most."

It sounds mysterious, but there are actually three dead rules:

Before placing an order, calculate how much you can afford to lose at most. It's like leaving home with cash; once it's spent, it's spent, and the money in the card is untouchable. No matter how crazy the market gets, the worst that can happen is this amount, and you won't die.

Replenishing the position? First, confirm that the principal is not at risk. I have a formula, and after calculations, the worst outcome is breaking even, then it's time to take action. The only remaining question is how many points can be made this time.

To increase the position, you must first secure the floating profit. The first profit must be locked in, so even if a pullback occurs, it won't be wiped out. In this way, this trade is guaranteed to be profitable; it's just a matter of how much.

If you keep these three rules, life will be manageable.

To be honest, life is quite boring right now. Every day I check the market, like clocking in for work, watching the numbers in my account slowly increase enough to cover the mortgage, pay utilities, and buy a cup of coffee. Sometimes I close the software and go for a walk, and when I come back, there's a bit more. Nothing exciting, just treating it like getting paid.

There was a time when the market suddenly surged. Several large bullish candles in a row, like a train leaving the station. I didn’t chase it, even though I was itching to, I just kept an eye on my positions and let the profits run on their own. In half a month's time, I covered the distance that others would take a year to complete.

That day I was sitting at the entrance of the community, looking up at the sky, feeling quite calm inside: some things just take time.

These days, scrolling through the forum, it's still the same old topics: "Got liquidated again!"
