During this early morning crude oil trade, I will share the situation, mindset, and subsequent plans with everyone, openly and honestly.

This crude oil position before the market closed was purely a gamble (wrong approach) on weekend news, without checking indicators or trends, and entry points were random.

Personally predicting that crude oil would open higher on Monday; if it doesn't open higher on Monday, I will close the position to cut losses. Previously, I held a "play around" mentality to maintain a high win rate, but it was actually useless, missing out on many profits and holding positions I shouldn't have.

Some things, you know, "nothing ventured, nothing gained," shedding burdens can lead to further progress. High win rate is meaningless; the risk-reward ratio is the core.

This operation was extremely irresponsible. I thought everyone's positions were small and didn't consider carefully. It was inherently a market prediction action, with obviously too heavy a position. Seeing many brothers caught in positions, I feel guilty inside.

Let me also share my personal logic behind this trade: tonight's CPI data mostly met expectations. Everyone knows this data comes from the department managed by Trump, so its authenticity is limited. This move bought Trump some buffer time, reducing market worries about inflation. The first round of US-Iran negotiations over the weekend is unlikely to go smoothly, and both sides are unlikely to make concessions easily. This geopolitical situation might support crude oil opening with a gap up and rally. (Just my personal opinion, not to be used as trading advice)

When I have time another day, I will share how I turned 100 USD into 15,000 USD in 20 days. I made a total of 62 trades on Sesame, with 8 losses and 54 wins. The biggest loss was 192 USD, the smallest loss 4 USD, the biggest profit 1,208 USD, and the smallest profit 2 USD.

Small losses + small gains + occasional big wins = compound growth, financial freedom.
