Having been in the circle for over a hundred days, my recent two days of trading experience have deeply touched me. From turning losses into gains of over ten thousand, to now floating a loss of thirty thousand, I have seen many of my own problems clearly through this process.

**Where is the core issue?**

Emotions are the biggest enemy. Expectations distort judgment, market noise easily shakes confidence, and a stubborn mindset leads me to make the most common mistake—being afraid to hold a heavy position when right, instead adding more during a pullback. When profits are floating and not yet closed, I haven't set a proper mental stop-loss, causing unrealized gains to vanish instantly. Ultimately, the essence of trading is wanting to make money without losing, but greed often accelerates losses.

**Why is it so hard to build a position at the beginning?**

K-line charts torment me repeatedly. When the direction judgment is correct, enduring the initial agony is the real test—this is when decisions must be made between taking profits and adding to the position. My weakest link now is right here.

**How should I adjust?**

The key is to overcome the mindset of "selling too early." When there are profits, some should be taken to preserve the principal, and let the remaining profits run. Better to miss some opportunities than to blindly build a position; markets are there every day, and taking it slow is okay. Judgments supported by logic should be bold enough to go all-in, but strict stop-loss discipline must be enforced. Keep some room in your position, and if the stop-loss is hit, don’t keep adding.

This is a market full of opportunities and risks. Surviving is the foundation, but the original intention of building a position is to profit—when opportunities come, you must have the courage. Hesitation and small positions only let your mindset be influenced by K-line charts.

Currently, the account is still in recovery, and there are no plans to deposit funds for now, mainly to stabilize my mindset. Instead of losing everything and starting over, it’s better to analyze each loss carefully. The future is long, and there’s no rush for immediate success or failure.
