The Importance of Review

Every trader, before entering a position, thinks about take profit and stop loss, but mistakes happen often! For example, being frequently shaken out by complex market fluctuations. To achieve a phoenix-like rebirth and advanced level, you must review diligently! Review is not just looking at profit and loss numbers; it’s treating trading as a craft that can be continuously corrected.

Three Essentials of Review:

First, are you executing your trading system according to plan?
This is much more important than making money or losing money. As long as you enter and exit according to plan, the trade is qualified; even if it results in a loss, it’s paying tuition for your system.

Second, is your contract trading risk controlled within a manageable range?
Look back at whether the stop loss was reasonable and whether the position size matched the volatility. If a single loss affects your emotions, it indicates the risk was set too high, not that the market was right or wrong.

Third, was the signal misinterpreted?
It’s not about changing the system, but about changing understanding. The same pattern can have different meanings in different structures. Clarifying “why I saw it that way at the time” is more important than adjusting parameters.

The core of review is not to find ways to be “more accurate next time,” but to reduce the number of “next time mistakes.” Every time you reduce impulsiveness, over-leverage, or hesitation, your curve will become smoother.

Stability doesn’t come from earning more on each trade, but from making fewer mistakes. Make review a habit, and you will notice three changes:
You no longer rush to prove yourself;
You are more willing to wait for high-quality opportunities;
You start to stay calm in the face of uncertainty.

In the end, trading is not about who learns more, but who adapts faster and stays steady. Turn every trade into a reusable experience; time will be on your side.
