After entering the short position, the market moved against the position and rose, the direction judgment was wrong, and I did not stubbornly hold the floating loss, but actively chose to cut losses early and exit.
With the current already thin principal, every bit of chips is extremely precious.
Compared to betting on a market reversal, holding through deep losses or even liquidation, timely admitting mistakes, actively cutting losses, and preserving the last spark of hope is the most rational trading choice.
The market is always unpredictable; no one can be right every time. A single loss is not shameful; not understanding stop-loss, allowing losses to grow infinitely, is the true beginning of being completely out.
Even if the balance is now sparse, as long as the principal’s spark remains, trading discipline is maintained, and the mindset does not completely collapse, there is always a chance to turn things around.
Avoid emotional all-in bets, avoid trading out of revenge, calmly review mistakes, stabilize the rhythm, trade lightly, patiently wait for the next opportunity, and slowly recover and grow profits step by step.
A stop-loss is not giving up and leaving, but protecting the principal and fighting for the long run.
After a rest and reorganization, set out again, steadily moving toward the ultimate goal of 100 million U, advancing step by step, fighting against the wind again.
