Today, let's talk about something most people overlook but truly determines whether you can advance—reviewing your trades. Review is not just looking at profit and loss numbers; it's treating trading as a craft that can be continuously calibrated.

A truly valuable review involves only three things.

First, whether you followed your plan. This is much more important than making money or losing money. As long as you enter and exit according to your plan, the trade is qualified; even if you incur a loss, it's paying tuition for your system.

Second, whether risk was controlled. Reflect on whether the stop-loss was reasonable and whether the position size matched the volatility. If a single loss affects your emotions, it indicates that the risk was set too high, not that the market was right or wrong.

Third, whether signals were misinterpreted. It's not about changing the system but about changing understanding. The same pattern can mean different things in different structures. Clarifying "why I saw it that way at the time" is more important than adjusting parameters.

The core of review is not to find ways to be more accurate next time, but to reduce the number of times you repeat the same mistake. Every time you reduce impulsiveness, over-leverage, or hesitation, your curve becomes smoother.

Stability doesn't come from earning more on each trade, but from making fewer mistakes. Making review a habit, you'll notice three changes: you no longer rush to prove yourself; you're more willing to wait for high-quality opportunities; and you start to stay calm in the face of uncertainty.

In the end, trading is not about who learns the most, but who adapts faster and stays steady. Turn each trade into a reusable experience, and time will be on your side.
