Only look at paper profits, don’t count account drawdowns—trading forever will never be stable. In many beginners’ eyes, there is only profit, never facing drawdowns. The core reason behind losing trades isn’t that the market is hard—it’s that once you’re in profit you get overconfident, and when you’re in loss you stubbornly hold on. There is absolutely no awareness of account risk control.
I’ve seen a trader with 3000U who, in the short term while following the trend, made 900U. Their mindset inflated, and they started arbitrarily increasing leverage and loosening stop-loss rules. Completely ignoring the risk of account drawdowns, they went on to take reckless, aggressive actions. After a normal round of pullback, not only did they give back all the profits—they ended up losing an additional 800U.
Experienced traders who compound long-term prioritize controlling drawdowns first, and only then pursue returns. During profitable phases, they proactively reduce position size, lower the frequency of trades, and protect the profits they already have. They never allow short-term profits to disrupt long-term trading discipline.
My hard-core iron rule: after a profitable single trade, reduce position size; if account drawdown exceeds the limit, stop immediately; protect gains first, then increase income.
The core of stable trading is to hold the drawdown floor—not to chase endless, excessive profits. Recently the market has been repeatedly pulling back and washing the market; the probability of giving back profits is extremely high. Real trading growth is learning to think ahead and stay prepared—using risk control to lock in every win’s fruits.$BTC $ACE $TAC #SEC向白宫提交加密托管规则提案
