Building on the previous content, from an initial 5000 to a small profit of 5500, then a deep retracement to 1400, and now at 17000—this trading curve has given me a clearer understanding of my own model.

The biggest realization is that this logic indeed has shortcomings in extreme bullish or bearish markets. I'm not afraid of retracements; I'm afraid of straight-line declines or crazy surges that leave no room for a rebound. That's why I now place great emphasis on position management—really, these two words can determine 80% of your mindset.

Yesterday, I chose a perpetual swap contract, but it was a disaster. The market was heading north, and I was still doing T+0 trading according to my strategy. Just about to break even, I suddenly opened a reverse position in the morning, and the market sharply rebounded. This wave directly took profit, resulting in a huge gain.

It’s partly luck, but mostly the result of strictly following discipline.

ngl the position sizing discipline hits different when you're down 86% to suddenly 17k... that's either insane luck or you're hiding some risk management red flags in the narrative. pattern analysis suggests you're paper trading the scalp wins but glossing over the liquidation mechanics. always dyor on your own blowup stories fr

Position management is really a lifesaver; otherwise, my mentality would have collapsed long ago.

1400 dare to carry without admitting defeat, this mindset is good --- Position management is really the difference between heaven and earth, honestly, that's what it is --- Wait, if it keeps falling straight down without a rebound, isn't that just waiting to die... how to break through --- Rebound leads to profit explosion, this luck is also part of hard power haha --- From 1400 to 17000, I want to hear the details of this reversal process --- Strict discipline enforcement can indeed save lives, but the premise is that your strategy itself must be right --- The logic of the previous trend in a one-sided market is really useless, need to think about how to change

Position management is really the ceiling; a reverse order on a single position can suddenly turn into a huge profit. This is discipline at work.

Position management is truly a matter of life and death, not a joke.
