I’ve been swallowed by the stormy waves of trading.

I’ve gone through periods of massive account drawdowns, and I’ve also experienced that low point—from full confidence to doubting myself. At one point, the account pulled back by 90%. That feeling—anyone who has really traded understands.

But I’ve always believed that as long as the ship is still afloat, there’s a chance to set sail again.

Now, I’ve adjusted my mindset once more, hoisted the sails again, and stepped back onto this trading sea full of the unknown.

This time, I don’t want to repeat the path I walked before.

In the past, I always thought the faster you make money, the better. The higher the return rate, the more impressive it was. Later, I realized that what wiped out most of my funds wasn’t the technology—it was money management, position control, and an ever-expanding desire for more.

So I decided to think differently.

With small initial capital, I’ll allow myself to be a bit more aggressive and set higher targets for myself. After all, since the principal is small, the cost of trial and error is relatively controllable. In this stage, what matters most is refining the trading system and improving execution—not blindly chasing stabilityless returns.

But once the capital starts growing slowly, I’ll proactively rein in my desires.

No longer obsessing over how much I make every day. Instead, I’ll gradually shift the targets to weekly and monthly evaluations, and put more effort into controlling drawdowns, money management, and execution discipline.

I’ve found that many people are the opposite.

When their capital is small, they’re cautious and careful. But once their capital grows, they become increasingly aggressive—positions get heavier, return targets get higher, and in the end they give all the hard-earned profits back to the market.

I hope I’m walking a different road.

With small capital, dare to attack. With large capital, focus on defense.

The bigger the capital, the smaller the desire. Returns may come more slowly, but the account must become more and more stable.

In my view, real compounding isn’t about constantly boosting the return rate. It’s about actively reducing risk while capital keeps growing, so the account can move upward steadily over the long term.

Trading isn’t a 100-meter sprint; it’s a marathon with no finish line.

Make money with ability; protect profits with discipline. Controlling drawdowns matters more than chasing windfall gains.

These are just some trading reflections of mine at this stage. They may not fit everyone, but I’ll keep testing and validating this philosophy.

May we all experience storms, yet not be sunk by them; may we pass through bull and bear markets, sailing farther and more steadily across this trading sea.

Let’s cheer together—cheers and good luck to us all!
