July 3 | The first step of a Long March: a college student’s 100-day real trading plan to get back to break even and rise from rebirth (Nirvana)
I am a sophomore short-term trader, entering the market exactly 516 days ago.
Starting with 30,000 yuan of principal, I went through two market cycles, only to end up with 6,000 yuan in residual positions, having tasted the bitterness of eating plain noodles in the dark.
Two years ago, during the tech rally, I heavily held ETFs for small gains, but the 4·7 stock plunge with thousands of limit-down hits dealt me a heavy blow;
I once bet on Yajiang Xizang Tianlu riding the upward wave, then caught the final rebound of the aerospace bull run;
In March, the power sector collectively retreated, and I held firm through the broad decline, seeing my account cut in half to 6,000 yuan.
Through the ups and downs of bull and bear markets, my account curve kept declining, with frustration weighing me down.
Today, I regroup, add funds to bring it to 15,000 yuan, and officially launch a 100-day live trading recovery plan!
All losses are paving stones, all lows are springboards.
Watch me start anew, reclaim all losses within 100 days, and when I turn things around, I'll become a force to be reckoned with as a retail trader!
Now let me share the operations from July 4th.
Player 1: Estun
Entered yesterday, when the robotics sector showed strength. As a second consecutive board with recognition in the sector, I thought funds would go for the position, and at worst, with the sector's low-level backstopping, there should be a rally. But contrary to expectations, it fell back to flat.
The next day, it gap-opened at limit-up, but quickly canceled orders before 9:25, even though the robotics bidding had shown limit-up at that time. Funds were still cautious on this stock. After opening, it hit the board for the first time, but faced slight selling pressure. Considering the order book, I sold around 8% up.
It then pulled back, but seeing the robotics sector continue to ferment, I bought back halfway. It later sealed the board.
Around 10:30, seeing the buy orders on the board quickly decrease by 200 million, and considering the robotics sector had been strong for four consecutive days, with expected divergence next Monday, I sold half on the board. It later broke the board but resealed within a minute, now with some recognition in the robotics sector, still having expectations for Monday.
Player 2: Taiji Industrial
Limit-down the day before yesterday, opened at -2% today, with stabilization expectations, so I bought a position. It opened and dipped further but showed resistance, so I bought another position on stabilization. Later, in a stupid move, I sold one position
After 10:00, the stock strongly recovered to cross the 5-day moving average, being the most proactive among the five packaging leaders, so I bought halfway to bet on tech recovery, but unfortunately the afternoon was disappointing, though Taiji fell the least, showing resilience, with no negative feedback.
Combined with weekend semiconductor-related positives and Jiangbo Long's earnings beat expectations, there is still recovery potential for next week.
Report ends.
