No one likes to lose, but in trading, you must learn to calmly accept losses.



No one in the market can completely avoid stop-losses; they are an integral part of trading. What truly causes a mental breakdown is not the stop-loss itself, but reckless over-leverage and loss of control, leading to losses exceeding expectations, which then causes panic.

Before opening a position, plan your strategy, entry points, and risk control thoroughly; after opening, only execute mechanically. Unless there is a clear signal that the market has deviated completely, temporary judgments after holding a position are always less rational than being in cash.

Once you hold a position, expectations arise in your mind, and your stance can easily become biased. You subconsciously weaken bearish signals and amplify bullish expectations, which can lead to emotional and wrong decisions. Therefore, trading should be: clear logic and sufficient basis before opening a position, and after opening, let go of attachments, objectively follow the market.

Regarding take profit, fully leveraging the market with an open position is not suitable for full position trading. Every market has an end; you can never earn more than your knowledge allows. Often, the market reaches the expected target, but greed prevents you from taking profits. When the market reverses, profits are given back or even turn into losses, which is a double blow to your mindset.

You can choose to take profits in stages or leave some positions to gamble, but the goals set before opening must be strictly followed. Profits beyond expectations are accidental gains; there's no need to be overly greedy. Securing profits is the long-term way of trading. #黄金
