The challenge has reached Day 11, another cycle of repeated cleansing.

Starting with a principal of 1425U, the account now has 1500U remaining, and a total of 975U was withdrawn today. Sounds good, but during the most difficult moment last night, the account was only left with 200U. At that moment, I really thought about giving up.

To be honest, over these ten-plus days, I discovered a fatal problem—no systematic withdrawals, which is like digging a well in the desert; no matter how hard you try, it’s all in vain in the end. Funds are repeatedly worn down during trading, profits are not locked in timely, and in the end, you can only watch the numbers shrink.

Many people ask me why I keep messing around; the reason is simple: no one to confide in, no one to help you sort out your thoughts. Trading is as lonely as stock trading—no one shares when you make money, and no one understands when you lose money.

This lesson is very profound: **You must insist on daily withdrawals**. No matter how much you earn, you should take a portion of the profit and lock it in. Otherwise, all efforts become just numbers on paper, and the last drawdown will evaporate everything.

The dream of recovering before the New Year is still there, but the method must change. Next time, I really can’t gamble so disorderly again.
