As 2024 is coming to an end, this year's market has made me love and hate it again. I have stood at the peak of profitability, and also tasted the bitterness of greed. However, after experiencing the ups and downs of the market, I have realized a truth: no matter how beautiful the profit curve is, it is not as important as the smiles on my family's faces. So, in the last one or two days, I closed the trading software, and spent time in more meaningful ways - to accompany and take care of my family.

These are notes for myself, feel free for classmates who want to copy, but don't forget to practice~
High returns are temporary, the market will always fight back.
Control your position, don't gamble with your life.
There is always the next opportunity in the market.
Missing one opportunity is not scary, trading is about patiently waiting for the next more secure entry point.

Reviewing and analyzing is the royal road.
After each decline, I will carefully analyze: is it a strategy issue? Position management error? Or simply because of greed? Record the mistakes and always remind myself not to repeat them.
