Here's a trap most losing traders fall into: They think the solution is taking MORE trades.
But here's the brutal truth—if you're bleeding money, adding volume just accelerates the damage.
The real move? Cut back. Focus on setups that actually matter. Every position should have a solid reason behind it, not just "I need to make back my losses."
Chasing quantity kills accounts. Precision pays. Stop forcing mediocre entries and start treating each trade like it counts—because it does.

This hits too close to home. I was cut like that before, and the more I try to recover, the more I lose.

It's so right, most people have this problem, the more they lose, the more they want to get it back, and the result is getting deeper and deeper

I've heard this argument too many times, but no one really does it

Absolutely, most people just want to turn over the book, and the result is getting deeper and deeper
---
The key is to change the mentality, otherwise no matter how accurate it is, it will be in vain
---
That's right, but it's super difficult to enforce, who doesn't want to get it back quickly when they lose money
---
The sentence that every stroke is important poked me, and I was just random before it
---
Quantity killer haha, that's how I lost my principal
---
Precision trading vs pursuit of trading volume, this multiple-choice question is actually not difficult but really too difficult
---
Stop forcibly pushing orders and start taking them seriously, which sounds simple and kills

Haha it's really heart-wrenching, the person who wants to make up his position like crazy every time he loses money is me
I seem to finally understand... The truth of quality > quantity is really not talking
Don't ask me how I know, the account balance will speak
