I don't get every trade right, but I got the overall picture right.
For the entire month of April, I ultimately achieved a net profit of 9311U. It wasn't an explosive profit, but steady, each step in line with the plan.
If you ask me what my biggest gain this month is?
I would say two words: "Stay steady."
In this chart you can see there were losses and gains, on the deepest day I lost over 900U, but I didn’t chase trades or act impulsively to recover losses; instead, I adjusted the rhythm back.
For instance, from April 6th to 12th, when things were not going well for several days, I didn’t blindly add to my positions but instead compressed my positions, reduced frequency, and strictly executed profit-taking.
I consistently adhere to three rules:
• No single position exceeds 10% of the account, even if the signal is good
• Once profits exceed 10%, start protecting profits; don’t be greedy with profit-taking
• If I have two consecutive losses, I take a mandatory break; if the script isn’t clear, I don’t act
To be honest, the reason I could maintain profits this month isn’t because my trades were so accurate, but because I acted less impulsively.

Making money is a skill, but preserving it is the real ability.
What truly stabilizes my profits is not some miraculous trade, but:
The courage to cut losses when wrong, the courage to take profits when right, and the courage to stop when things go awry.

Have you also experienced this kind of "periodic drawdown but not panicking" rhythm?
