The days of being trapped are tough, but never suffer alone in silence. When you encounter problems, you can always find someone to talk to. Sometimes, changing your perspective can make the situation seem less hopeless.

To put it simply, there’s no luck involved in getting out of a trap; it all depends on execution and discipline. First, you must admit one thing — when it’s time to cut losses, you have to take the loss. I know many people are reluctant, always thinking about whether they can break even, but once the market confirms a breakdown, waiting any longer is just gambling psychology. Preserving your capital is the hard truth; only then do you have a chance to turn things around.

Second, the points for stop-loss and take-profit must be set in advance. Don’t wait until the market changes to decide on the spot, as at that time, emotions often take over. Systematic execution strategies are always more reliable than last-minute panic. Set the rules and follow them; it sounds simple, but actually doing it is much harder.

One last piece of advice — remember this lesson in your heart. Don’t let this tuition go to waste. Next time you encounter similar trap signals, you’ll be able to detect them early and avoid them decisively. These accumulated experiences are the true wealth of trading.

Market opportunities are always there, but the premise is that you have to stay alive to see them.
