I didn’t close any deals today—I was fooled by that morning surge 😵
Let me share a short article to warn myself: stick to your own rules.
All trading strategies are imperfect. The more you try to make them perfect, the more you end up getting hit from both sides. For example, it jumps 20 points—so you sell it, and then it jumps another 20 points. You start thinking, “Next time I’ll hold it.” Then you run into this kind of situation again, you stubbornly hold, and it flips straight from profit to loss. After it happens enough times, you start feeling confused.
In reality, every strategy isn’t perfect. What you can do is make trade-offs—choose what to accept and what to avoid. Make money only from the profits you’re meant to capture. This process is hard; you get repeatedly worn down and battered by your emotions.
