Recently reviewed a few losing trades, and the problem is actually very concentrated—it's all about the stop loss.

When the market is volatile, we need to learn to do subtraction. Properly reduce leverage, and don't set stop losses within the range. These recent operations serve as negative examples: the stop loss prices were set inside the range, but in the end, the price rebounded back. Seemingly cautious defense is actually digging your own pit.

There's also a key point that is often mentioned but hard to achieve—only when the price breaks through 91000 is it a true breakout of the range, and a signal to roll over positions. Easier said than done. Eager to prove oneself, rushing to act, and in the end, paying tuition step by step. Over the past three months, I’ve spent quite a bit on these two issues.

The gap between knowing and doing is sometimes much wider than expected.

Stop-loss is really a big trap; I've fallen into it countless times. Knowing how to set a stop-loss and actually sticking to it are two completely different things. I've also been watching the 91,000 level; it's just that I'm impatient and always want to buy the dip early.

Once again, I was stopped out and taught a lesson. The 91,000 level really couldn't hold.

Stop-loss might sound simple in theory, but in practice it can be a complete mess. I've learned this lesson step by step through paying my tuition fees. It's easy to say it's about protecting the principal, but in reality, it's a mindset issue—always hoping for a rebound and not being at peace. And what happened? I also remember the 91,000 level, but truly holding it is really difficult. The impatience and desire for quick gains are hard to change. The saying "Knowing is easy, doing is hard" hits home for me. After three months of losses, what hurts isn't the money but the sense of helplessness. When the market is oscillating within a range, reducing leverage is indeed effective, but when you're itching to trade, no one cares about that.

Oh no, it's that old problem again... setting stop-losses within the range, and literally knocking yourself out. Basically, it's impatience, always trying to go all-in to prove yourself, right? I've also fallen into the trap at the 91000 line, knowing that ≠ doing, and this gap is really built with money. Volatility tests human nature the most; lowering leverage sounds simple but is extremely difficult to actually do. Three months' worth of tuition... brother, this round of review was worth it.
