Turning points in life often come unexpectedly. One day four years ago, I underwent a thorough self-reflection that not only changed my trading strategy but also reshaped the trajectory of my life.



By carefully examining past trading records, a disturbing fact has emerged: nearly 70% of over 1,000 transactions resulted in losses. In particular, more than 200 large losses severely dragged down the overall returns. This list ruthlessly reveals my trading weaknesses - excessive greed and indecision.

Looking back at those significant losses, I found a recurring pattern: an unwillingness to take profits promptly when in the green, and a reluctance to cut losses decisively when in the red. This stubborn mindset ultimately led to heavy losses.

At the same time, frequent small losses are unknowingly eroding my capital. These often stem from a lack of clear trading ideas and sufficient market research, entering the market solely based on intuition and luck. Post-analysis reveals that the truly ideal entry point should be in the initial stage when the stock price begins to rise.

This deep self-reflection made me realize that successful trading requires not only technical analysis but also strict discipline and a clear strategy. I began to fully immerse myself in learning trading techniques and building methodologies, gradually forming a trading system that suits me.

After relentless efforts and continuous practice, my trading skills have undergone a qualitative leap. Now, this method has become a handy tool for me, helping me navigate the market with ease.

Looking back at this experience, I deeply feel the importance of self-reflection and learning on the trading journey. I hope my experiences can provide some inspiration for those of you who are also striving on the trading path. Remember, every failure is a stepping stone to success; the key lies in how we learn from it and continuously improve ourselves.

Can a loss of 70% still turn around?

Like Lao Wu Gao's "On the Classics", through self-reflection and enlightenment, it can serve as a mirror for on-chain seekers.

Those who have been through it share their experiences; those who understand, understand.
