Yesterday marked the eighth day since this account was opened. Due to staring at the charts and watching the price fluctuations, I engaged in frequent trading. More dangerously, I almost wanted to violate my discipline and increase my leverage—I was just a hair's breadth away from adding more leverage and nearly broke my own rules. I felt a deep sense of fear in retrospect, which made me understand better where the true dangers and difficulties of speculative trading lie. Therefore, I should be much more careful and cautious going forward.

Professional traders have a maximum speculation leverage limit of 10x in their entire lifetime. In the speculative market, they will encounter countless opportunities large and small throughout their lives. Opportunities will push you to the crest of the wave, but they can also swallow you whole. Only by controlling your own risk can you survive within the risk.

Work hard and earn money; I want to go to Shanghai!

Need to do some self-repair. Emotional stability is part of trading too. Physical health matters as well—I feel my body is in a sub-healthy state. Not enough energy, and lack of energy affects mood. Need to strengthen my exercise routine. It would be best to develop a sports hobby.

I discovered a shorting opportunity and was strongly tempted to increase my leverage, even felt quite impulsive about it. But I can't. I must adhere to trading discipline internally. It has proven that following trading discipline is the right call—the price rallied back up. If I hadn't stuck to it, I could be pulling my hair out now, risking significant losses or even liquidation. By maintaining trading discipline, I secured the benefit of keeping my mindset in an invincible position.
