1. Today's Results Overview • Account process: • Experienced significant fluctuations and drawdowns during the session • Occurred one 2060 stop-loss order • Trading behavior characteristics: • Made profitable judgments • Caught rebounds • But ultimately exited in an unsatisfactory manner
It's not a directional failure, but an execution and risk control failure
⸻
2. Core Issue of This Trade
Key Error 1: Placing orders + No initial stop-loss • Placing orders without real-time monitoring • Did not set clear stop-loss at the time of order • Equivalent to handing over “risk control” to the market
Conclusion: This is the root cause of all problems in the entire trade
⸻
Key Error 2: Impure motivation for adding positions
The 2085 addition was essentially: • To “recover losses / get out of trouble” • Not because the structure clearly improved
In other words: Adding positions was driven by psychological pressure, not by increased win rate
⸻
Key Error 3: Risk control lag • The 2060 stop-loss was set only after the rebound • This is a “remedial stop-loss”
The correct sequence should be: Stop loss first → then consider logic Instead of: Hold on first → add later → finally stop loss
⸻
3. Correct Aspects of This Trade No emotional panic selling • Did not panic sell during rapid decline • Could calmly observe MACD and structural changes
Note: Emotional control is improving
⸻
Market feel judgment is not entirely wrong • 5-minute MACD red bars shrinking • Minor bullish crossover appeared • A rebound wave was indeed observed (2097)
The problem is not “not understanding the market,” But “being forced to participate at the wrong position.”
⸻
4. Correctness of This Trade (Very Important)
This was a: Partially correct judgment, but execution was disconnected from the system
It's not that the technique is lacking, But that rules were not followed.
⸻
5. Three System-Integrated Improvement Rules
Rule 1 (Hard rule)
Any order must have a stop-loss set simultaneously No stop-loss = No order allowed
Situations like “wait and see” or “hold on first” are not accepted.
⸻
Rule 2 (Adding position rule)
Adding positions is only allowed when: The structure is better, and the win rate is higher
Judgment standard in one sentence:
If this is the first order, would I still enter now?
• If no → Adding is prohibited • If yes → Consider adding
⸻
Rule 3 (State recognition)
Once entering “passive position management,” This trade is no longer optimal, only risk control remains
In passive mode: • No pursuit of recovery • No hope for reversal • Only one thing to do: reduce risk
⸻
6. Final Summary for Today
Today's loss is not a market problem, But an execution deviation caused by a 【Order without stop-loss】.
In the future, better to miss opportunities than to preemptively ambush; Better to have small stops than passively hold positions.
