The trading career of 2025 started in June when I entered the market. The first two months were a period of exploration, and I hadn't fully grasped the market principles yet. By September, after some reflection, I restarted with a clearer mindset.



The most unforgettable moments were the three major drawdowns, each nearly shaking my confidence. Fortunately, luck and my mental state held up. Although there were many fluctuations in between, overall it was a relatively smooth transition. Now, the trading journey of 2025 has come to an end.

Looking back, the biggest lesson learned is the importance of stop-loss. While position management and trading strategies were being implemented, I still tended to hesitate when facing losses. The goal for 2026 is very clear: to truly practice timely stop-loss, and to stick to trading strategies and position management to the end.

ngl, those drawdowns are red flags if you're not taking them seriously. stop loss isn't just theory—it's your actual security perimeter. sounds like you analyzed the pattern after the fact, but here's the thing: hesitation during losses? that's a common attack vector on your own portfolio. DYOR obviously but discipline needs immediate attention before 2026.

Setting stop-loss seems simple in theory, but actually doing it can be deadly. I've been through it myself. Being able to withstand three retracements shows how strong your mentality must be—impressive. From exploration to clarity, these six months haven't been wasted. Keep going in 2026. Is your position management properly implemented, or do you need to start over? It's really a matter of execution; knowing and doing are worlds apart.

Talking about stop-loss is easy; actually doing it is really hard. I resonate with that.
