Many people’s reactions after losing money are to turn off the candlestick chart and pretend nothing happened. But the consequence of doing so is that you will fall into the same trap countless times.

I have developed a set of review methods. Honestly, after using them, the error rate has significantly decreased.

**Three key steps for review:**

1. Write down every detail of the trade. What was the entry price, where was the stop-loss set, how large was the position, and what was I thinking at the time—these must be clearly recorded, not relying on memory.

2. Calmly analyze what went wrong. Was the direction judgment incorrect? Or was the stop-loss placement unreasonable? Or was the position size too large? These three errors have completely different causes, and the solutions naturally differ.

3. Based on this mistake, set a "trading discipline" for yourself. It must be enforced next time you encounter a similar situation, with no compromises.

**For example, my recent loss when trading BNB:**

That trade lost 6.5%. During the review, I discovered the problem—I was trying to catch the bottom during a small downtrend, and I set the stop-loss too close below the support level, which was swept away by normal fluctuations. Later, I established the "discipline": First, do not trade against the trend; second, the stop-loss must be set outside key technical levels to allow enough room for volatility.

**Turn review into a habit:**

- Spend 5 minutes filling out a simple form after each trade
- Weekly, identify the most common mistake you make and focus on overcoming it
- Write these "disciplines" on sticky notes and place them next to your monitor as constant reminders

Losses in a trading career are essentially tuition fees. The key is whether you turn them into learning opportunities or treat them as pure expenses. Mindful review can turn losses into progress; neglecting them keeps you stuck in place. Start taking every loss seriously from today, and you will find hidden lessons for your growth.
