The market is there, but your account and mind might not keep up with it.
My recent trades have indeed been poor. I hesitated when I should have cut losses, got greedy when I should have taken profits, always a step too late. After several consecutive mishaps, I decided to pause operations and rest until mid-January.
Today I want to share some real talk with you all. I'm not going to discuss K-line patterns or repeat those tired old platitudes—just my genuine feelings from this period.
**Why actively call a halt?**
Admitting recent trading failures isn't shameful. Rather, it's a responsible attitude. In this 24-hour market, most people lose money not because they missed opportunities, but because they can't restrain themselves from trading when they shouldn't.
I discovered the problem isn't the market—it's me. Maybe excessive trading has fatigued my mind, maybe too much noise has clouded my judgment, or maybe my entire trading system needs reorganization.
If I keep pushing forward while over-leveraged, I'll only lose more. True professionals know when to crouch down and when to charge forward.
**What exactly to do during the pause?**
Pausing isn't lying flat or giving up. It's giving myself a buffer period to handle several important things:
First, review my trading system again. Is the problem with the strategy itself, or did I deviate during execution? Some strategies work well originally, but once market conditions change, they need adjusting. Sometimes you think the strategy is broken when you simply haven't adapted to the new market rhythm yet.
Second, clear my head. Too much market information—information overload becomes interference. During this pause, I'll check if there are any blind spots in my understanding worth addressing.
This isn't escapism; it's so I return in better condition.
