Start the 365-day no-overleveraging challenge — Day 001
Reviewing my trading records, I finally understood a painful truth: almost all losses point to the same culprit — overleveraging. At that moment, I remembered that two years ago, I was not like this.
Back then, I wasn't so greedy. I was making money every day, had a stable mindset, and never went all-in on a single trade. Later, I learned "aggressive trading" from someone, and as a result, I became more and more reckless, stopped setting stop-losses, and fantasized about doubling my gains to recover all losses. And now? All the gains from the past two years have been wiped out.
Why can't I change? Honestly, it's greed and overconfidence at play. I know overleveraging is a meat grinder, but I can't help but do it. But I've decided — to return to the state I was in two years ago, that self who was making steady profits every day.
Relying on long-term persistence and seeing results to reinforce new habits, this time I must change. These 365 days are just the process of reshaping my trading discipline.

This change in mindset is really quick; it takes at least two years of blood, sweat, and tears to realize it.

It's quite late to wake up, but it's still better than remaining numb. Keep going!

Hmm... this sounds familiar. I said the same thing two years ago.
