After messing around for so long, I think I finally understand. The days of earning 20,000 yuan in a day only to lose it all back in the next hour were honestly quite exhausting. I don’t know what kind of situation I’ll wake up to tomorrow, and that uncertainty can really wear a person down.
Now I’ve changed my approach. I set strict rules for myself: every trade must have a stop loss, and most importantly—each loss on a single trade must not exceed 20% of the account. Once this bottom line is established, I feel more at ease. Because no matter how much I mess around, I know what the worst-case scenario is and I can fully bear it.
The benefit of doing this is that I can stick with it. A cautious strategy means you can keep playing in this market. It’s not about the dream of getting rich overnight, but realizing that steady growth is much more comfortable than big swings. Every trade is thought out, methodical, and losses are kept within predictable limits—this is the way to go if you want to go far.

This guy finally got it. The 20% stop-loss line is honestly like putting on a seatbelt in a casino.

well technically the 20% rule is just kelly criterion with extra steps, but yeah—imagine if more people actually stuck to it instead of yoloing their entire stack on some random altcoin at 3am. here's the thing about risk management: it's boring as hell until it saves your ass. respect the discipline honestly

Honestly, the 20% stop-loss line is really reliable. Much more dependable than those guys who gamble every day and lose everything.
This is the secret to living a long life, but unfortunately most people can't realize it.
Really, once your mindset is steady, everything is stable. No need to be anxious every day.

Well, this 20% stop-loss line is indeed effective, but how many can truly stick with it?

This sounds comfortable to hear, but how many people can truly stick to a 20% stop-loss?

The consultation record shows that this fellow has finally recovered from acute speculation to a stable phase. A 20% stop-loss per trade is not conservative; it's a sign of self-awareness.

Honestly, I've been using a 20% stop-loss line for a long time, but it's the execution that easily breaks down. Mindset is much harder than strategy, really.

This is the real deal. The 20% point is locked in tightly. Only when your mindset stabilizes can you start making money.

Really, drawing the 20% line is well done. Compared to those who dream all day about flipping their accounts, sleep quality is still more important.
