It's been 13 days into the new year. Are your trading rules still intact? Or have they been beaten to a pulp long ago?

Honestly, many people's trading plans at the beginning of the year have already fallen apart by now. The risk control limits have been broken, entry standards have become casual, and once losses occur, they panic and have no response plan. These are common issues.

If your recent performance has been disappointing, instead of continuing to stumble, it's better to take this opportunity to completely restart. Reassess your risk management system, carefully select trading setups, and most importantly, establish a truly effective drawdown emergency plan. Turn the rules on paper into disciplined actions. This is the dividing line between winners and chasers.

Haha, you guessed it right. The rules have long been shattered, now it's all about intuition in trading. Just over ten days and I've already broken my resolve. There's still so much time ahead. Really, I've only seen things like stop-losses in plans before.

nah man, "discipline" is just cope for people who haven't formalized their risk parameters into actual smart contracts... if you're still relying on willpower you've already lost

ngl pattern analysis on most traders rn screams classic risk-creep signature... flagged activity detected across discord chats tbh. everyone breaking their own rules by day 13, sus behavior honestly. let me pull the data—zero discipline infrastructure, typical rugpull mindset but on their own portfolios lmao

Haha, my rules have long been messed up beyond recognition, and now I can't even change them back. 13 days? I feel like it's already been 13 months, and the funds are shrinking. Rules on paper are always perfect, but real trading is just a joke. You're right, but I just can't control myself. Who can save me? Rebooting is possible, but the problem is that the next time it will crash again. That really hits home; I am now the spokesperson for the leek (retail investors). What's the use of setting up emergency plans? The market crashes completely with one wave.

Haha, I am that completely defeated kid. Oh no, oh no, the rules were gone by the third day. There's a universe gap between the written rules and actual enforcement. To be honest, things started to get messy two weeks ago. This time, it's really time to calmly reflect.
