A single successful trade ruined three months of my good state. $M Believe it or not, my worst losses didn't come from a series of stop-losses, but after a single massive win.


$LAB Last year, for a while, I was extremely lucky. I made over 400 pips on a single short trade, and my account doubled directly.
Those days I walked with swagger, feeling like I was the chosen one. In the group, I called trades with a louder voice.
$VELVET Next, I made three mistakes: First, I started trading heavy positions, thinking "I've made so much, it's okay to lose a little"; Second, I started holding losing trades, thinking "With my skill, I can definitely hold until it turns around"; Third, I started "trading by feeling" and no longer strictly followed my stop-loss.
And the result? Within two weeks, not only did I give back all the doubled profits, but I also lost 20% of my principal. That day I stared at my account, asking myself: Why did making money make things worse?
Later I figured it out: A single huge win is more likely to ruin a person than a single huge loss.
A huge loss hurts you and makes you remember the lesson; a huge win makes you arrogant and forget all the rules.
And once you become arrogant, a fall is not far away. Since then, I set a rule for myself: After every big profit, I must stop trading for a day.
It's not because I'm afraid the market will disappear; it's because I'm afraid of losing control. On that day, I do nothing but calm down, review, and remind myself: You are still that person who needs to trade by the rules, not a god.
After your last big win, did you become arrogant or stay steady? If you became arrogant, then next time you make money, try pausing for a bit.
The market doesn't lack opportunities for that one day, but you lack a clear-headed self. If you are still chasing highs and selling lows, or don't know how to determine entry and exit points, come talk to me.
