In 2026, I set three trading bottom lines for myself.

What truly stabilized my trading this year was not a certain indicator, but a few bottom lines that I no longer compromised on.

First, I do not trade without a plan; second, I do not place orders when my emotions are fluctuating; third, I do not hold positions that exceed my risk tolerance.

It sounds simple, but sticking to it is not easy. Many times, I watched the market move away in front of me, yet I chose not to chase; there were also profit opportunities that I actively gave up because they did not conform to my rules.

But it was these "trades not made" that helped me avoid larger drawdowns.

As time went by, I became increasingly clear: trading is not about proving how smart I am, but about continuously avoiding major mistakes.

The year 2025 was when I truly started trading with rules rather than feelings.
