Here I record some recent trading insights, with the core goal of gradually optimizing my trading system through live trading.

I haven't joined any trading groups, nor has anyone guided me; I rely solely on my own exploration. To put it simply, I just want to become a reliable trader who can consistently profit in the market.

Today, I encountered a small incident—because I had social engagements in the evening, I closed my positions. Actually, there wasn't a particularly good entry opportunity, so I just went to sleep. Sometimes, the best trading decision is to choose not to trade. This principle sounds simple, but actually requires discipline to implement.

Not trading is also trading. This saying is so true; I was only able to avoid the worst losses because I didn't have to make a move. Sometimes being sober is more valuable than anything else. A glass of wine at night might save you more money than a wrong operation. Exploring this path on your own is indeed tough, but it's the only reliable way. No one can make money for you. Closing positions and going to sleep—I'll give this decision a full score. Too many people go bankrupt because they can't hold on. This is the kind of awareness a trader should have. Most people are still wildly trading intraday.

This discipline is worth learning. Not trading when you don't want to, really makes me much better than myself.

This is true trading wisdom, not just bottom-fishing for everything. Knowing when not to act is much harder than knowing how to trade. The period of self-exploration was really tough, but those who persisted made money. Sometimes, sleeping is the best trading strategy, no doubt about it. Discipline is two words, sounds easy but it's deadly hard to actually do, buddy. Closing positions and sleeping, I just like this straightforward style. No one to guide you through the challenges, traders who train themselves like this are indeed more solid. A social engagement for a good night's sleep, this trade is worth it. The decision not to trade often yields the most, a lesson learned through blood and tears. That period of independent exploration, thank goodness you made it through, brother.

This is true self-discipline, not participating in every market movement. Not bottom-fishing or chasing highs—this really tests human nature. Walking this path independently is indeed difficult, but traders who survive like this can withstand the test. Sleeping is also part of trading, I’ve realized. No one guiding you makes you clearer—this I deeply agree with. Discipline is much more effective than technical indicators. Closing positions after socializing—laugh out loud, prioritizing life to the fullest, I like it.

The path of self-exploration is still the most solid; no one can lose money for you, haha. --- Sleeping is also trading; I’ve come to understand this. --- It’s outrageous. I often do the opposite and end up losing everything. I can’t learn your discipline. --- Really, sometimes not trading is the biggest win, but I just can’t sit still. --- That’s why most people end up losing money; a poor mindset is pointless. --- Self-exploration is indeed difficult, but once you get through it, it’s true skill. --- I totally understand the need to close positions during social events; when you go out for socializing, your mind isn’t really on trading.
