Respect the market; stop-loss is indeed the badge of trading!

Yesterday, we set up two short positions at 4850 and 4920, both ultimately exiting with a 15-point stop-loss. There's some regret, but a deeper understanding of respect. The market at the weekend's end once again exhibited its 'monstrous' nature—an intraday rise of nearly 300 dollars firmly validates a principle: when market sentiment and capital flow form an absolute synergy, even the most mature technical analysis framework may temporarily fail.

Especially during weekends, a period of special liquidity, price movements have long departed from pure technical tracks, making it more susceptible to sudden news and large orders, thus amplifying the uncertainty of the long-short battle. Therefore, I reiterate: in the face of such extreme volatility, both sides should refrain from passively observing; actively choosing not to trade is the greatest risk; voluntarily giving up trading is, in itself, the highest form of risk control!

The recent massive fluctuations have provided everyone with a vivid lesson in risk management. I always recommend: the loss from a single trade must be strictly controlled within 2%-3% of the account's principal. This is never about being conservative, but about the survival baseline of trading—only by maintaining this line, even if we continuously misjudge, we still have sufficient capital left in the market, waiting for those truly belonging to us, certain trend opportunities!

Remember, a stop-loss is never a failure, but a means to survive longer in the market. There's no need to get tangled up in the gains and losses of the moment; tidy up your mood and rest well. The market is always there; we will fight again next week and patiently await the right opportunity! $XAU #全球科技股抛售冲击风险资产
