#美联储降息 From liquidation to sustained profitability, I spent 12 months completely transforming my trading logic.

During my early days as a contract trader, I was no different from most people—chasing highs and selling lows, with my account experiencing dramatic swings. The worst moment: going long in the middle of the night, seeing my floating profit exceed 1,000, and sleeping without setting a take profit. In the early morning, a large bearish candle appeared, and my 75x leverage full position was instantly wiped out. I spent the whole night sitting in front of the computer shorting, and finally understood a principle: the market never cares about emotions.

At that time, I encountered several traders who had also climbed out of the same pit. One guy was left with only 300 USD, completely wiped out, but after reviewing trades with me for three weeks, he managed to rebuild to over 10,000. Another friend was caught in high-frequency short-term trading, losing seven or eight trades in a day. Once he started only taking high-confidence opportunities, he recovered and now maintains steady growth.

Did they become smarter? No, they just finally stopped messing around.

What truly changed me were these three bottom lines:

**1. Every trade must be justified.** No impulsive trades; there must be a supporting signal. Feelings and luck are not reasons for trading.

**2. Position size must always be fixed, and stop-losses must be in place.** Even if the market looks promising, don’t exceed your budget. Once the stop-loss is triggered, close the position immediately—there’s no such thing as "but" or "maybe."

**3. At most two opportunities per day—no pre-judging, no adding to positions, no following the herd.** Less is more.

It sounds simple, but very few can actually execute it. Technical skills can’t change much; discipline is what makes the difference. As long as you master these three points, you don’t need to watch the screen all day or gamble recklessly. Your account can gradually stabilize.

A proper method, combined with persistent execution, and the guidance of experienced people helping you keep the rhythm—this is far better than blindly wandering alone.
