During morning gold replay I kept grabbing 1R and shoving the stop to breakeven. On paper it felt “safe.” In the log it killed the trades that later ran toward 2R–3R. Same entry quality; the early scratch turned winners into noise.

So I changed the rule for myself: no auto-breakeven at 1R. Take half at about 2R, leave the rest with structure. Protecting ego at 1R is not the same as managing risk — it just truncates the distribution you built the setup for.

早盘黄金回放里,我老是一到 1R 就把止损挪到保本。纸面上觉得「安全」;日志里,后面能走到 2R–3R 的单,多半被这一下掐死了。进场质量差不多,提前离场把赢家收成了噪音。

于是我给自己改了规则:不到 1R 就自动保本;大约 2R 先出一半,剩下交给结构。护面子式的 1R 保本,并不等于风控——它只是把你为这套打法准备的盈亏分布,提前砍短了。
