At the end of the year, many people start to panic—rushing to boost performance, which often leads to pitfalls. In fact, the biggest test for anyone is usually this final stretch.



Top traders who make real money understand these points: First, don’t be swayed by market sentiment. Those voices spreading anxiety and fear are everywhere, but your profit logic should not change because of them. Stick to your trading plan, avoid following the crowd, and don’t make reckless moves—that’s what professionalism looks like.

Second, protect your existing gains. During the sprint, it’s easy to fall into a "one move back to the pre-liberation era" situation—everything you worked hard for can be lost in one greedy move. Therefore, risk control and locking in profits are crucial. Don’t hesitate to take profits when it’s time, and don’t be overly optimistic about stopping losses.

Finally, execution is key. Many people have plans, but few can stick to them. During this time of year, market volatility is high and temptations abound. But as long as you can stay in sync with your rhythm, hold your positions, and steadily follow your plan step by step, you’ll be able to enjoy a bountiful harvest when the new year arrives.

This winter, don’t go off on your own reckless path. Keep to your rhythm, stay steady and disciplined—that’s the right way.

You are absolutely right, the last part really is a litmus test. At the end of last year, I lost everything trying to chase numbers, and I still remember that lesson.

That's so true. The end-of-year wave is the easiest time to go all-in and lose everything. My friends around me have experienced it this way. Stop-loss really is the synonym for going to death. Everyone knows they should do it, but no one can stick to it. Instead of chasing performance, it's better to honestly follow the plan. Isn't the New Year more appealing? The market's current sentiment is indeed crazy. Those following the trend are already regretting it. One greed can ruin three years of effort. I deeply understand that.

That's right, it really is like that... The day before yesterday, I saw someone lose everything in a single day, all because they tried to bottom out at the end of the year and ended up getting caught. Holding onto what you already have is better than anything else.

You're right, the end of the year is the easiest time to fail after a hard fight. Greed is the biggest enemy.

That's right, the end of the year is the easiest time to be emotionally driven. Many people around me have crashed their accounts because of this. Honestly, the words "take profit" and "stop loss" are simple, but actually doing it is incredibly difficult. Having a plan is easy; persistence is the key. That's the difference between retail investors and professional traders. Going all-in and returning to the pre-liberation days—I've seen it too many times. It's better to be honest and lock in profits. The last month is the easiest time for things to go wrong. Just grit your teeth and endure for one more month.
