A year has passed in the blink of an eye. From initially being clueless about the market to gradually finding my own trading rhythm—this process is actually a continuous cycle of being proven wrong and reflecting.
What is the biggest takeaway? Learning to stay calm amidst volatility. It’s not that I’m not afraid of losses, but that I’ve realized panicking doesn’t solve problems. Every time the market undergoes a significant correction, it’s an opportunity to test whether my risk management is in place. Stop-losses should be set when needed, and positions should be reduced when necessary—these seem basic, but actually implementing them took me quite some time.
Another feeling is that every market adjustment silently upgrades your understanding. Those technical and fundamental aspects that once seemed difficult to grasp, after several cycles of refinement, become clearer over time. No journey is wasted; every wrong trade is a tuition fee.
2025 will continue, and I look forward to exploring and growing together with more like-minded people. The market is always teaching us; the key is whether you are willing to learn humbly.

Oh no, it's that phrase again, "There's no such thing as a free lunch"... I've paid my tuition in blood and still haven't understood it.

It's another year of being hammered by the market before finally understanding stop-loss, I know this feeling too well... But honestly, how many people actually dare to execute a stop-loss?

Stop-loss is easy to say, but in reality, it's really hard to stick to due to psychological barriers... After a year, the most valuable thing is probably this kind of insight.

Alright, alright, another year of self-cultivation... Sounds nice, but in reality, it's just losing experience. Stop-loss, position sizing—these are truly painful lessons.
