A single core piece of advice after trading for seven years
If I had to compress years of trading experience into one sentence: don’t hold the largest position when emotions are running highest.
I’ve taken plenty of losses. In the early stages of a trend, I stayed calm. After several consecutive wins, my confidence ballooned—I thought my “touch” was excellent and kept increasing my position size. The real risk usually isn’t the first trade; it’s the blind confidence that comes after a winning streak.
I once went from 10,000 to 100,000, but then I started making many moves I used to look down on: splitting capital instead of random all-ins; mastering spot trading first before touching leverage; setting a pre-defined maximum for adding to positions and never changing the rules on the fly when losses occur; when a profit target is reached, withdrawing part of the gains; and reducing screen time—if there’s no signal, I shut down the platform.
At first I thought the pace was too slow. After a long time, I finally understood: the gap between accounts isn’t about catching the biggest moves. It’s whether you can still keep your position discipline when others lose control.
Nowadays, I’m no longer obsessed with multiplying returns. My focus is training: when I’m on a streak of consecutive profits or when emotions are running hot, I proactively reduce my position size.
In the past, when I made money, I wanted to speed up. Now, when I’m profitable, my first reaction is to take some profits off the table. It’s not that I’ve become timid—it’s that I understand: the market’s most expensive tuition fees usually happen when you think you’re already very capable.
