This morning's surge directly hit my stop loss. This position was a short opened yesterday morning, resulting in a loss of 281u; after being stopped out, I was frustrated and opened 2 positions, recovering 180u, so the total loss is around 100u. The lesson from this 100u loss is:
1. Yesterday morning, I opened a long position with 10u, and after doubling, I felt the market was correcting, so I exited and flipped to a short position, firmly believing it would drop to a new low before correcting again. As a result, it was exactly the opposite of my strategy.
2. After opening the short position yesterday until evening, I kept adding to my position. In fact, during this time, the 15-minute candlestick chart had been slowly and steadily rising, but stubbornly, I insisted on adding to my position.
3. The entry position for the short was still over 20 points away from my set position, but seeing it continuously dropping, I jumped in directly.
4. Last night and this morning provided opportunities to exit. Last night, there was a chance to clear out with a loss of over 20u, and this morning there was an opportunity to clear out with a loss of around 100u, but I still had a lucky mindset, thinking it would rebound, which was already irrational.
The above points should serve as a warning.
Now is truly a time to earn from event-driven contracts; do not touch the aftermath of the event.
