At the end of the year, many people start to panic—rushing to boost performance, which often leads to pitfalls. In fact, the biggest test for anyone is usually this final stretch.

Top traders who make real money understand these points: First, don’t be swayed by market sentiment. Those voices spreading anxiety and fear are everywhere, but your profit logic should not change because of them. Stick to your trading plan, avoid following the crowd, and don’t make reckless moves—that’s what professionalism looks like.

Second, protect your existing gains. During the sprint, it’s easy to fall into a "one move back to the pre-liberation era" situation—everything you worked hard for can be lost in one greedy move. Therefore, risk control and locking in profits are crucial. Don’t hesitate to take profits when it’s time, and don’t be overly optimistic about stopping losses.

Finally, execution is key. Many people have plans, but few can stick to them. During this time of year, market volatility is high and temptations abound. But as long as you can stay in sync with your rhythm, hold your positions, and steadily follow your plan step by step, you’ll be able to enjoy a bountiful harvest when the new year arrives.

This winter, don’t go off on your own reckless path. Keep to your rhythm, stay steady and disciplined—that’s the right way.
