Don't be limited by your own trading plan; the market's candlestick charts are the most honest teachers.
Recently, I realized one thing — those meticulously designed perfect operation processes are actually as fragile as LEGO bricks in the face of real-world results. They seem flawless, but just one finger can knock them down. This realization has changed my mindset.
The key shift is this: I now treat every trading node as a "test" rather than a "fixed action." Before the candlestick completes, I am actually conducting experiments — some succeed, some fail. What's the benefit of thinking this way? When losses occur, you won't fall into self-blame because you're simply testing, not pursuing guaranteed success. Tests, after all, always have defective products.
Let me give a specific example. Recently, I was planning an ETH operation, focusing on testing whether the 9th is the starting point of a new upward wave. I set three trigger conditions:
1. The J value of the daily KDJ indicator is less than 50
2. Funding rate turns negative
3. Labor data on the 9th may trigger a sentiment shift
Considering my judgment that the bull cycle will begin after New Year's Day 2026, as long as one of the above conditions is met, I will try to bottom fish. For example, if the daily K of BTC is less than 50, the entry action is triggered.
What will happen next? There are three possible scenarios: a direct stop-loss; floating profit; floating profit and breaking above a key level. No matter which, I view it with a testing mindset, not a gambler's mentality. In this way, the market's outcome is just feedback information, not a condemnation of me.
