To be honest, during that time, every night when I lay down and closed my eyes, the only words echoing in my mind were: 'I lost a lot.'
The account plummeted from 100,000 to 4,000 U; it didn't feel like money was gone, but rather that I was on the verge of collapse. The mental pressure was suffocating, and I started to doubt myself, wondering if I was really cut out for trading. Later, I forced myself to calm down and began to reflect: why do I always get liquidated? Am I stuck in the same trap, repeatedly making the same mistakes?
Looking back, it wasn't that my skills were lacking, but rather that I 'wanted to win too much'—rushing to turn the tables, over-leveraging, chasing after a single K-line spike, betting on every market fluctuation, every piece of news, every ounce of luck, and in the end, the market kicked me awake without even a chance to make an excuse.
I learned my lesson and set a 'three-phase plan' for myself:
1. Only trade with the trend; even if it's slow, don't go against it;
2. Only use small positions, add to your position with floating profits, and never touch your principal;
3. Never place a 'second confirmation' order; if you misjudge, cut it immediately. There are plenty of opportunities, missing one order won't hurt.
Starting from 5,000 U was like a snail crawling, making a few dozen U a day, like a beggar earning money. But soon I caught two big waves, and my position gradually rolled up with floating profits. By the fifth week, I broke 10,000; by the eighth week, I broke 30,000. It took me less than 3 months to reach back to 100,000 U, but don't forget, the confidence I had in those 3 months was built over two whole years.
Now some people still ask, 'Can we still trade in this market?' I just want to reply: it's not that the market is bad, it's that you are on the wrong path. Stop thinking about flipping your account overnight; what you need is not luck, but a method.
