**Trading is really about overcoming yourself.**



People often ask me: "What should I do if I get caught in a short position at 3100? Will it rise to 3600 or 4000?" Honestly, I have no idea. I can't control the market. I entered a short at 3100 and exited with a stop loss at 3150—that's my trading discipline.

But here’s the problem—

If I advise you to cut your losses and the market really drops, will you blame me? If I tell you to hold and you get liquidated, will you still trust me? Ultimately, this is your money, and you have to bear the consequences yourself. Trading can only rely on yourself; no one can make money for you, and no one should be blamed for your decisions.

**The market is always full of uncertainty.** It can go up or down. All I can do is analyze the information with technical analysis to judge the most probable direction. Then—make a plan, set stop losses, and enter at the right position. If the market moves as expected, hold your position; if not, exit early. It’s that simple.

The most painful part is this: many people get wiped out on a single position and never learn from it. The second, third time, they make the same mistakes. They neither review their trades proactively nor learn from others. This way, they keep spinning in place.

**Learn to trade on your own, don’t always rely on others.** Finding someone to learn from is to gain knowledge and thinking methods, not to expect others to give you money directly. If someone guides you for a day, you earn for a day. What if they stop guiding you someday? Who can accompany you for a lifetime? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself.

That's right, discipline in stop-loss is truly a watershed; those who don't set stop-loss are all gamblers.

ngl this hits different when you've already blown up your account twice doing the exact same thing... the "nobody can hold your hand forever" part is just *chef's kiss* brutal truth nobody wants to hear

Well said, stop-loss is the only truth, everything else is just a story.

Stopped out at 3150, that was satisfying. It's that simple.
