The intraday trading in the past month has really been exhausting. Actually, the long and short directions are not the key—setting proper take profit and stop loss levels is what matters, along with execution and reaction speed.

To be honest, I plan to do less trading and observe more moving forward. If you're itching to trade, remember to set a stop loss for each trade, or simply enable the trading cooldown feature. The real test for traders is never just a big trending market, but how to preserve capital, stay calm, and patiently wait for that certain opportunity in wide-range fluctuations where the direction is unclear. Position management is truly a matter of life and death.

Oh my, this market trend is really torturous. Looks like I need to learn to control my hands.

It really stings like a knife, gotta fix it. The loss cut wasn't executed properly, and I realize it this month. It's frustrating. Let's wait and see during the observation period, and talk about it when the wind turns. In wide-range volatility, it's easiest to get wiped out, I've also learned my lesson. Protecting the principal is more important than anything else; greed will be the end of you.

Itching hands are truly the greatest enemy. I’ve also been messed around by this wave, saying "stop-loss" is easy but actually doing it is hard. Reducing operations is the best advice. I’m currently just relaxing when I can, and observation is the key. Position management really determines life or death. Watching others get liquidated is terrifying. Wait, can we really wait for a certainty opportunity in a wide-ranging fluctuation? It feels like self-deception every time.

The biggest test during wide-range fluctuations is, frankly, just holding on. This is the hardest part to accomplish. Restlessness is truly the greatest enemy. I’ve been tormented this way until now. Stop-loss is easy to understand but hard to execute, especially when you watch the price move against you and haven’t yet recovered. Position management is a one-sentence principle, but few truly understand it. I must admit I often fail to do so myself. The cooling-off period feature should have been used long ago. Now I realize I’ve already lost a lot. Instead of guessing the direction, it’s better to protect your principal. I’ve heard this countless times, but how many actually do it? In this kind of bouncing market, just surviving is a win. Don’t think about making money.

Damn, I've been through a lot this past month, itching to place orders every day, and ended up losing even faster. Setting stop-losses properly definitely feels more reassuring, but the key is to execute it well; otherwise, it's all for nothing. That's true, this kind of volatile market really tests a person. I've started to trade less now to avoid messing around blindly. Position management is really crucial; one wrong move and you're wiped out.
