Do you have your trading statements from this year? Every year-end, I pull them out and review them. Not to compare returns with others, but to reflect on my own journey—what choices I made in the market and what I stuck with.

The ups and downs of the market, the speed of trades, every detail is in the statement. It’s like your own annual review, recording your interactions with the market, your emotional changes, and your decision-making process. Sometimes looking at this data, you realize your execution strength at certain moments and your hesitation at others.

We have been with a leading trading platform for 12 years💙. This companionship alone is worth documenting.

The moment I pull up the bill really breaks my heart... Watching my transaction history makes me want to smash the screen. I flipped through the bill, and this year I’ve been bouncing back and forth between chasing gains, cutting losses, and HODLing. Bills are like a mirror; they reveal how lousy I am. It’s been 12 years. The platform has been with me through losses and gains. That kind of trust is pretty valuable. Every time I look at the bill, I reflect: why did I have to take those unmanageable trades back then? Instead of focusing on the returns, I should look at my stupid decisions—it's really painful.

I also pulled it out to look, damn it, at first glance it's not a big deal, all losing trades hahaha --- The bill is like a mirror to your mentality; sometimes flipping through it makes you regret --- It's been 12 years, right? Witnessed so many bull and bear cycles --- The worst thing is flipping through the bill and discovering how absurd your most亏损 decision was --- Reviewing is very important, but sometimes it can be quite heartbreaking. Looking at each one, those points where you should have cut losses --- Sounds good, but my bill looks like a joke --- This kind of companionship is indeed precious, at least I wasn't completely wiped out --- I'm just afraid that flipping through the bill will reveal that I'm actually a trading waste --- Your execution ability is really top-notch; hesitation is often the most expensive moment

Seeing the bill really breaks your defenses; a bunch of losing trades are shining there. Only when looking at the bill do you realize how many times your quick hands saved you, and how many times your hands were soft. It's been 12 years, truly accompanying the entire bull and bear markets. The bill is like a mirror that reveals the true nature; everything else is虚假的. Only when reviewing the bill do you understand what a vivid lesson is.

Looking at the bill, it's all blood and tears. Those moments of hesitation are truly regretful. The bill is like a mirror that reveals everything clearly—who is chasing gains and selling at a loss, and who is making reckless moves. After 12 years of messing around here, it can be considered a form of companionship, even though I haven't made much money. Looking at those trading records, I feel like I always did the opposite, which is the most heartbreaking. The most feared part of annual review is realizing that I have actually been standing still all along.

Looking at the bill, oh my, another loss... But I can really see how outrageous I've been this year. I especially appreciate this—it captures the emotional ups and downs right in the trading records, no way to hide it. It's been 12 years, witnessing countless life-and-death moments... The most heartbreaking part of reviewing the bill is realizing my hesitation at the high points; I should have been ruthless and bottomed out earlier. This kind of review is really necessary, otherwise the cycle of self-destructive behavior will never change.

When I pulled it out and looked, oh my god, it's all loss orders... Is this what you call an annual review? The bill is full of my tears. When the market rises, I’m sleeping; when it falls, I jump in all at once. Looking at these data makes me want to vomit blood, but it really shows how inexperienced I am. It's been 12 years, and I’m still on the path of cutting losses, but I should also give myself credit for this persistence. The hardest part of reviewing the bill isn’t seeing the losses, but admitting that my judgment is poor. This year, I only learned one skill: perfectly timing my buy-ins.

Only when I looked at the bill did I realize what a lesson truly is—full of blood and tears. Last year, I was really a rookie; looking at these transaction records makes me a bit emo. 12 years of companionship, to be honest, the trading platform has changed a lot, and so have we. The bill is like a mirror; sometimes I can't stand to look at it. This year, half of my actions were driven by execution, and the other half by hesitation—so true. The most frightening thing about reviewing the bill is discovering how outrageous my operations were. I really admire those who can calmly review their past; I usually choose to forget. It feels like a decision made at a certain moment can reveal your mindset. At the end of the year, the most taboo thing is to review the bill—your mental state collapses halfway.
