Many people trade, but in fact they are using a one-dimensional mindset to deal with a multi-dimensional market.
A true trader needs to look at problems from a different perspective — not thinking about making profits every day, but about how to ensure stable earnings throughout the year. Once you make this shift, your entire decision-making framework will change.
Losses are unavoidable in trading; they are not bugs, but features. Suppose your trading system has a 70% win rate. If you execute 100 trades, do you end up with 70 wins and 30 losses first, or 30 losses and 70 wins? This is a probability question, and no one knows for sure. It is precisely this uncertainty that causes many people to give up when they should persist.
The core logic of trading is actually very simple:
First, establish a trading framework that belongs to you, and then repeatedly execute it. The groundwork in the early stages is essential — analyze the market step by step, enter only when the position is right, decide position size according to your capital plan, remember to set stop-losses, and then wait for the market to give you feedback signals.
Second, close positions and realize profits when there are signals, and decisively cut losses and exit when the market moves against you. Don’t waste energy on psychological games like "Should I hold on a bit longer?"
Third, do everything within your control with discipline and planning to the utmost. Be respectful of the market’s randomness, but also fully trust your trading system.
In short, maintain a calm mind, repeat this set of actions over and over. Over time, the results will naturally appear.
This is the entire secret of trading — follow the natural way, remain humble in victory and resilient in defeat, do your best and listen to fate.

I lost 80% of my principal with a 70% win rate
I just want to know if probability theory has failed in my account?
Discipline? My discipline is to follow the rules of chasing highs and killing lows
Stop-loss according to plan... lol, my plan is to have no plan
This theory sounds perfect, but in reality, I am still waiting for market feedback signals, and after three months, my account is wiped out

A 70% win rate sounds great, but actually executing it still requires endurance. That's the hardest part of trading.
However, it's true that one-dimensional thinking can't compete with multi-dimensional markets. There's no denying that.
Wait, is it losing first then winning, or winning first then losing? It seems like many people can't even reach that "later" part.
Discipline is easy to talk about, but when the mindset collapses, who still remembers their system?
Making consistent profits over a year is more realistic than making money every day. We have to admit that this difference in mindset is indeed significant.
The words "stop loss" have caused many to die...

Well said, but most people can't endure until that "time extension" period.
In fact, recognizing that losses are a feature is the hardest part; once your mindset collapses, everything is over.

70% win rate sounds good, but the real launch window depends on the probability distribution of the sequence at the beginning and end.
The initial preparation is correct; you need to calculate the angle coefficient for each trade carefully.
Honestly, most people fail because of psychological games; discipline is easy to talk about.
The trust system itself is the biggest test; knowing it is easy, doing it is hard.
Repeating this set of actions may sound simple, but that's actually the hardest part.
Fuel replenishment should be timely; don't add fuel randomly, and that's it.
Multidimensional thinking is indeed stronger than one-dimensional, but execution is the real escape velocity.
Annual stability > daily profit; this mindset shift takes time to refine.
The psychological pressure of 30 losses—nine out of ten people can't endure it.
The principle of natural law is spoken of, but which market isn't testing your bottom line?
