I totally understand that feeling of staring at the screen at three in the morning.
My account shrank from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand, as if it had been emptied.
Later, I realized that what could save me wasn't some mysterious indicator, but a few simple rules forged through countless painful experiences.
First, only take action in positions I understand.
There are always opportunities in the market, but once the principal is gone, it's truly gone. I kicked the habit of 'fear of missing out' and only entered the market within planned ranges; even if I felt tempted at other times, I held back. Waiting for my own signals is much more reassuring than chasing others' trends.
Second, staying alive is more important than anything.
Before placing an order, I first think about how much I could potentially lose rather than how much I could earn. Controlling my position well allows me to withstand volatility and wait for the next opportunity.
Third, profits should be taken in batches.
When I make money, I keep a portion of the position to ride the trend, while selling another portion in batches at key positions. This way, I can keep up with the gains and not lose everything in a downturn.
Fourth, rest if there are no signals.
Emotions cannot replace rules. As long as the conditions aren't met, I won't act, no matter how tempted I am. Waiting itself is a form of operation.
With these few simple rules, I gradually transformed from someone who was driven by volatility into an ordinary person who trades according to a plan.
Profits transitioned from wild fluctuations to gradually becoming stable.
More importantly, I'm no longer trapped by midnight candlesticks.
Before, I was blindly stumbling in the dark; now I carry my own light.
The light isn't bright, but it's enough to clearly illuminate the path ahead. Should I follow? @顶级带单龙哥
