Many people have experienced this state: after a few consecutive successful trades, they stop following the script, increase their positions, wish to delay taking profits, and start monitoring the market more frequently, always feeling that "this wave of performance is unbeatable." I used to be the same way; every time I made a big profit, I felt like I was "about to take off," but the result was that my rhythm got messed up, and two or three trades retraced, directly wiping out my profits. So this time I set three rules for myself to force myself to stay focused: 1. Only check the market twice a day, do not actively seek opportunities. The easiest problem after making a profit is "itchy hands"; you want to jump in at any fluctuation. At this time, it is even more important to reduce market stimulation, wait for signals, and not rush the rhythm. 2. The single position remains strictly unchanged, neither adding to it nor "confidently increasing the position". The easiest pitfall after making money is over-leveraging, thinking "I've made a profit, even if I give some back it won't hurt." But the problem is, once a drawdown happens, the account curve can blow up immediately. 3. After continuous profits, force a one-day empty position, even if there are opportunities, do not act. This is very harsh, but very effective. Completely detach yourself from emotions and return to rationality. The market always has the next order, but if your mindset is chaotic, no matter how many opportunities there are, you won't be able to act steadily. Although I've continued to take action these past few days, I've managed to control the overall pace very well. It's not because I'm particularly steady, but because I realized in advance that "after making money is the easiest time to explode." Trading has never been a game that ends with a single victory; rather, it is a test of your ability to maintain control even after winning. What truly makes a difference is not how aggressively you do it, but whether you can stay stable after making the profits. #WCTC S7 报名开启 #MemeBox2.0 全新上线 #BTC 能否突破90k?
