The recent market pullback has indeed been quite significant. Looking back at recent trading records, I noticed a common phenomenon—many people enter positions and immediately face floating losses, then quickly cut their losses and exit, ending up with a complete loss.



In contrast, those stable profitable traders seem to have quite impressive win rates and risk-reward ratios. How do they do it? To put it simply, there are just a few key thresholds.

First is the entry point. Skilled traders never place random orders; each entry is carefully selected. Once the order is placed, it usually starts to show floating profit—this is the difference. Coupled with a very tight stop-loss, risk is well-controlled. Then, they use small timeframes like 5-minute charts to repeatedly refine their entries, while leaving room to take larger profits on higher timeframes.

It sounds simple, but in practice, it requires a lot of practice. Making thousands of small-cycle trades without losing your principal naturally helps you understand the nuances of trading. It’s not a matter of innate talent; frankly, it’s about continuously benchmarking, reviewing, and finally finding your own rhythm.

Honestly, the entry point is really the key to success. I used to jump in whenever I saw an opportunity, but now I realize that's just giving away money. After thousands of trades, I finally understand what risk control means. At first, I thought I was very perceptive, but it turns out I still need time.

Basically, it's about mindset. Not cutting losses and holding on until the end is what makes a true trader.

No problem with that, stop-loss, stop-loss, but still end up losing. The key is really the entry point; I've been thinking about this recently.

Exactly right, that's why I always review my trades. Without review, I can't find my own mistakes. Entry position really determines everything. I used to trade randomly, but now I prefer to wait rather than open reckless orders. After thousands of trades, I realize that grinding out orders is not a matter of talent but of time. Watching others consistently profit makes me eager, but they've already mastered it on the five-minute chart. Setting tight stop-losses is how you learn risk control; there's no shortcut to this.
