In your trading experience, has there been a 'turning point' that suddenly shifted you from loss to profit?

Yes, and I believe that for many traders, the real turning point is not about learning a 'magical skill,' but rather realizing the fundamental issues in their trading mindset.

For me, that turning point was not an explosive profit, but rather a period of 'consistently losing.' At that time, I had consecutive losses, and looking back on each trade, I felt I shouldn't have done it, yet at the moment I thought, 'I can give it a try.' There were no signals when entering, no plans when exiting, and my summary after losing was simply: 'I was a bit emotional at that time.'

At that moment, I suddenly realized that I wasn't losing due to technical issues; I was losing to my own decision-making in the moment. It wasn't that the market was too difficult, but rather that I was too free, wanting to try everything and sticking to nothing.

From that point on, I began to seriously build my own trading system for the first time. Even if it was just the most basic trend + retracement entry logic, I wrote it down as rules, set conditions, specified position sizes, and established stop-losses. The key was that I forced myself to execute 'without emotion.' When the signal arrived, I acted; when it didn't, I didn’t look; after making a trade, I walked away without reviewing past trades. During that time, I no longer pursued profits on every single trade, but instead aimed to stick to my plan on every trade.

It's not that magical; gradually, my profits and losses began to stabilize, stop-losses no longer triggered emotional explosions, and profits began to run more smoothly. The account started to profit, not because of any single trade, but because I finally 'calmed down.'

So if you ask me what the turning point is? It's not a certain technique, but that moment when I finally understood: what truly changes trading results is not what you know, but that you no longer act recklessly. #美国加征关税
