Woke up half an hour and lost 14,000, my mindset has collapsed
In half an hour, I continuously hit stop-loss on 4 trades, it has been a long time since I felt like this. I hadn't posted for a while because I was controlling my emotions very well and managing my drawdowns effectively, but today I woke up to this inexplicable stop-loss.
The #TANSSI hit me hard with two trades, it felt like my heart was shattered. As soon as I opened a position, it immediately retraced and triggered the stop-loss; after losing, it continued to rise 📈, and it happened several times. It's maddening.
#ZEREBRO almost killed me; the first thing I saw when I woke up was it, strangely familiar. Without saying a word, I went for it, and in 3 minutes, I got a deadly embrace. The first trade I opened resulted in a loss, and then in the next 10 minutes, I realized there was a possibility of a sharp drop. I decisively reversed and went short, and it was significant; it dropped very quickly. I added to my position, but right after adding, it started to rebound. The break-even I set didn't trigger, and I only blinked for 4 minutes. From a floating profit of 8,000, it turned into a loss of over 4,000. Seeing that, my mindset exploded in an instant. I hesitated for a minute but couldn't bear the pressure in my heart and still closed the position.
To be honest, brothers, during that 1 minute, I felt like I was holding onto the position. This 1 minute made me develop a gambler’s mentality; this 1 minute was the only time in the last two months that I broke my trading discipline.
Looking back now, I just did something really stupid; the normal approach should have been to close the position immediately when I saw it, rather than waiting that 1 minute. The main reason I waited was, “What if it continues to drop? Then I can get back to break-even.” It was this kind of gambler's mentality that led my humanity to make the worst decision at that moment. Fortunately, my rationality told me I had to stop-loss because that's my trading discipline.
In summary, no matter who you are, even experts encounter difficulties in trading. It is during these particularly challenging times that a person's composure and execution are tested. This is also what distinguishes experts from amateurs. So, this year, being able to achieve 44 times profit in my account is mainly because I adhered to trading discipline. Brothers, have you encountered situations like mine in your trading process? If so, let's discuss it in the comments.
