Stage Summary: (20251202 - 20251203)
After 15 trades, I opened four more, purely impulsive, three wins and one loss, probably making about 200U. The reason I won't summarize individually is that there's really not much to say. I could come up with a ton of reasons for each trade, but they don't really explain the issues.
Over the course of two days, I made a profit of 1,000U, but it seems like I haven't found any clues. Aside from stop losses and the number of trades, I haven't executed well in other aspects. On the surface, the main issues are as follows:
1. Trend issues: The trades over the past two days have fluctuated between long and short, completely a chaotic battle at the 15-minute level. Opening trades based on feelings leads to situations where the trades feel like hot yams, where I don't dare to hold or wait. So the profit from positions over these two days has only been around 400 to 500U at most.
2. Positioning issues: Due to large positions, there have been problems with stop losses being too small and getting swept. Currently, three trades have been passively stopped out, resulting in a loss of about 400 to 500U, which is quite unfortunate.
3. Intervention issues: Half of the 19 trades were due to hasty intervention, leading to passive narrowing of stop losses.
4. Exit issues: Several trades turned profitable but ended up losing, and there were also several where I exited too hastily, missing out on subsequent profits. For the first three problems, I believe I've recognized them, which means I can address them. It's just a matter of controlling the number of open trades and patiently waiting for opportunities. Better to miss out than to make mistakes. However, regarding the exit issue, I currently have no good solutions. I can only keep learning, summarizing, and trying again. Of course, this isn't just a technical issue; on a psychological level, I need to balance greed and fear well.
In summary, the subsequent execution strategy is:
1. Slow down
Don't rush to open trades; wait a bit, slow down, and move in the direction of the trend. I must wait for right-side opportunities to act. For example, if the overall trend is still a rebound, wouldn't it be steadier to go long after a downward spike?
2. Smaller
Calculate thoroughly, first lock in the amount and price of the stop loss, then calculate the number of open positions accordingly. It has been proven that "greed" does not help you earn more money; instead, it often causes you to miss many opportunities.
3. Steady first, then aggressive
Stability requires locking in principal and profits at the right positions, while aggression should be based on the premise of stability, using remaining profits to pursue bigger opportunities.
