This month, I lost $180,000. The cause was simple—there was a problem with the trading program setup, and I was too busy to notice it in time. Honestly, this loss hurt a bit of my spirit.

But I don't have such a strong obsession with money. As long as the car is comfortable enough to work and I can eat casually, even Sha County small bowl dishes taste good. Because of this, my requirements for trade execution are actually higher. It's not about making big money, but about having a near-obsessive strictness towards my operational process.

This loss made me realize that obsession can sometimes be a double-edged sword. If you have a strict attitude towards trading, you need to have strict risk management to match. Automation of programs is a good thing, but the supervision mechanism must be more完善. Being busy at work cannot be an excuse to relax vigilance—on the contrary, it shows how important automation + early warning mechanisms are.

Accepting this $180,000 loss as tuition. Next time, I will set it up more thoroughly.

$180,000. The tuition fee is a bit steep. But on the other hand, automation without supervision is a ticking time bomb.

180,000 yuan tuition fee, that's a bit harsh. But this mindset is indeed good, better than those who cry and shift blame. --- If automation isn't set up properly, what can we talk about? It's just an excuse. --- Shaxian County Small Bowl Dishes haha, really, with such a big pattern, you need to be more meticulous. --- The double-edged sword metaphor is excellent; being too serious with oneself ultimately backfires. --- Next time, a warning mechanism must be in place. Such basic mistakes can't happen again. --- I respect this mindset. Not many can admit mistakes and review them. --- Work being busy is really an excuse; the process needs to be optimized. --- 180,000 yuan is indeed painful, but this summary is more valuable than making money.

180,000 in tuition fees. How many cups of Sha County snacks would it take to earn that back?
