After putting real money in and watching the market swing up and down, your mindset will inevitably be affected. Relying on gut feelings at this point? That’s basically like gambling your money in a blind box.



Honestly, trading discipline sounds boring, but it really works. Here are a few key points I’ve summarized:

First, stop-loss—don’t wait around thinking “let’s see” or “maybe it’ll bounce back.” Leave when you should. Set a mental price level or use technical indicators, and execute once it’s triggered. Hesitating will only make your losses snowball.

Then, position sizing. Going all-in feels great, but the risk is just unbearable. Keep each investment within a fixed percentage of your total capital, like 10% or 20%. That way, even if you misjudge, it won’t be a devastating loss.

There’s another easily overlooked point—trading hours. Don’t impulsively place orders while staring at the charts late at night. Decisions made when emotions are unstable are usually the least reliable. Set a trading window for yourself and act only when you’re calm.

These rules won’t help you predict market moves, but they’ll help you stay clear-headed when the market goes crazy. Protecting your principal is more important than chasing huge gains.

I’ve learned my lesson with stop-losses, so now my threshold is a bit conservative, but at least I can sleep well at night.

You're absolutely right, messing around late at night can really be deadly.

You're absolutely right, placing an impulsive order in the middle of the night is really a moment of losing my mind.

Speaking of which, the market in the middle of the night is the most torturous. I only understood this after making the same mistake myself.

Stop-loss sounds simple in theory, but when it hits that level, it's really hard to let go. Going all-in feels great for a moment, but losing until dawn just leaves you holding the bag. Midnight market killers—I’ve definitely experienced some painful lessons. Position sizing is truly a lifesaver. If you don’t believe it, just look at those who go all-in every time.
