My Trading Journal

Starting Principal: 7000U
Today’s Account: 9050U

When I was young and venturing out, an older brother once told me a saying that I still remember clearly—people who make a living out in the world, putting filial piety to parents first. If someone isn’t filial to their parents, how can you expect them to genuinely treat their brothers? Be tough in life: if you make a mistake, admit it; if you get hit, stand straight and take it.

Later I realized, this principle works just as well in trading.

After opening a position, if the market isn’t right? Stop loss when needed, don’t hesitate. If you’re wrong, you’re wrong—admit it. What’s the worst? Closing a position and then the market turns around, and you start beating your chest, or stubbornly hold on—those are all ways to invite disaster.

Now I only believe in one thing: staying alive is more important than anything. As long as the account is still there, the opportunity is still there.
