3.20 Recent Reflection Insights

Since the start of the US-Iran war, I saw a definite opportunity. Heavily invested in oil, some believed it would deliver a “fatal blow,” but it seems the situation has started to turn around, twisting and winding.

On the 16th, I fully invested in Xihua Technology, but because I couldn’t monitor the market, I placed an order early on the 17th. By the time I realized, Xihua was already halted from trading. Sold too early~

On the 17th, I chased Fasheng at a high, and on the morning of the 18th, Fasheng experienced a fierce battle between bulls and bears. I was too weak to hold, so I sold. The market closed red on the 18th, but during the intense trading on the 19th, it closed green. Sold too early~

On the 18th, I bought Xianglong Shares, but on the 19th, it dipped again, only to close green at the end of the day. Sold too early~

Starting from the 19th, I began to split my positions and follow my previous trading patterns. I can’t operate emotionally anymore.

On the 20th, it dipped again.

Overall, chasing highs and selling lows is very serious, and emotional trading is everywhere. I remember a expert once said: “Buying isn’t the most important moment; selling is.” This week’s frequent trading and chasing highs and lows have been a harsh lesson.

That’s it. Step by step, I hope to grow and start the future on a good note. I will share daily detailed operations and reviews later. Fellow traders, if you see this, please give a like—it’s also a little comfort for the “drowning.”

If there’s anything worth sharing about stock trading so far, I think first you need your own trading pattern, even a very simple one (like three days of continuous rise with a total gain of 5%). Strictly follow your trading pattern, set proper take-profit and stop-loss points, and stick to them. Once triggered, exit immediately. Some might worry about missing the chance to sell early—if it’s not within your understanding of what can be earned, don’t touch it. The first step in stock trading is to think about how not to lose money, how to lose less, not how to make money.

If you keep losing money like I do—emotional trading, chasing highs and lows, frequent trades—then keep optimizing your trading pattern. Mistakes are not scary; they are part of walking the right path.

Finally, I want to say: don’t trade emotionally, don’t trade based on feelings. Within your pattern, even if it’s very simple, with gradual optimization, there will be a day of profit. But relying solely on feelings turns trading into gambling. Greed when fearful, fear when greedy—this is against human nature. Don’t operate on feelings; follow your pattern.

Of course, I don’t have much qualification to teach others, after all, I am not a successful trader. Please don’t criticize if you don’t like my sharing. This is just my personal reflection on stock trading—everyone has their own views.

Fate is a big greedy cat~
