Trading is all about cultivating the right mindset. When you identify a direction, you must have confidence; don't be afraid to cut losses—this is where the second and third entries become a true test.

Honestly, to make big money, you need to learn to dance with drawdowns. Even in a scenario aiming for capital preservation, it will happen countless times throughout a long trading career. Instead of obsessing over it, it's better to accept it calmly and learn something from it.

What's the key? It all comes down to position management. You also need to understand how to calculate the risk-reward ratio at critical levels. If you truly grasp this logic, you'll basically understand the threshold of trading—this is also the consensus among most profitable traders.

Losing stop-loss three times before daring to add positions, this is my launch countdown. Position management is well said, but how to properly calculate the angle coefficient of the profit and loss ratio? With a good mental state, the orbit can break through the atmosphere. I'm not afraid to play the capital preservation game; it's just gravity correction, and the Bollinger Bands channel hasn't broken yet. I've already mastered this set of logic, just waiting for the next launch window to open. The risk coefficient at key positions wasn't calculated properly; even the best confidence is useless. Pullback dance? Better to say it's repeatedly testing the power at gravitational resistance levels. Every time I get stopped out, I recalibrate the escape velocity parameters. To be straightforward, if position management is done well, losing money can also become a form of cultivation.

Speaking casually, but when the real drawdown comes, the mentality collapses. Position management is indeed a trap; most people simply can't control it. There's nothing wrong with talking about mental cultivation, but how to cultivate? Just hit a few dozen limit-downs and it'll automatically be fixed, right? The risk-reward ratio sounds simple, but very few people actually calculate it correctly. After hitting stop-loss three times, still dare to re-enter? That takes a huge heart.

Hitting the stop-loss for the third time and still daring to enter, how strong must your mental resilience be? Position management is correct, but most people simply can't do it. Cultivate your mind, it's easier said than done. The risk-reward ratio really needs to be calculated clearly, otherwise it's just pure gambling. Drawdowns dancing together, sounds quite poetic, but can you stay calm during actual operation?

Losing stop-loss for the third time finally makes me understand what tuition fees are Position management sounds nice, but it's just playing with fire Refining the mind? I'll first refine my stop-loss Drawdowns dance together, sounds romantic, but in reality, it's losing money The risk-reward ratio, you only regret not calculating it well when you're losing money I've been in countless situations of capital preservation, what about making money? Key position risk-reward ratio, sounds simple but makes you despair when trying to implement The second entry is often the best time to get cut Low threshold, but few actually cross it This logic sounds flawless, but actual operation is another story Position management is indeed a hurdle; only after stepping over it do you realize

That's quite right, but the key is that mindset is the hardest to cultivate. Repeatedly hitting stop-loss makes me want to cry. Position management is really crucial; I've learned this the hard way. During drawdowns, I don't dare to add to my position, which is my common flaw. Understanding the risk-reward ratio is essential; only then does making money become certain. Cultivating the mind is much more difficult than honing technical skills. The second entry is the biggest test of human nature.
