There were four key judgments yesterday. I took a short position around the high point area of 89666 — this one was a perfect bottom-fishing; the rebound from 884 after the US stock market opened was closed out at 888, basically breaking even; the short at 90222 was canceled at 90000, but then it surged towards 91, and I didn't chase; in the afternoon, I predicted it would touch around 91.

Honestly, only the first short was comfortably profitable. The second was basically a waste of effort, and the most regrettable part is that the directional judgment was correct — logically, it did go to 91, but the 902 level opened directly on the chart, and 91 didn't open.

This is the reality of trading. Knowing and doing in harmony sounds simple, but in practice, it's another story. A correct judgment doesn't mean you’ve made a profit; the details of execution, timing, and mental stability — every step can determine the final outcome. Keep refining.

This is trading. Even if the direction is correct, you can still lose. Judging a win as an execution loss is part of it. The first trade was comfortable, but the next three all slapped in the face. The bottom-fishing trade was okay, but the others... sigh. If the timing is just a little off, the entire logic collapses. This game just loves to play this set.

Guessing right is pointless; this is the most heartbreaking part. --- Four successes and one failure, still a loss of confidence. --- Logic won, but the market lost; it's incredible. --- The most painful market to chase is the hardest to catch, worse than losing money. --- Details kill traders, every time. --- Only the first trade feels good, so what does that mean? --- There's a gap between knowing and doing — an account. --- Wrong timing makes effort futile; this is trading. --- Not opening at 91 is the biggest regret; even if right, it's useless.

It seems that at the moment the market opened at 902, did someone know something in advance?

Getting the judgment right but not making a profit is just ridiculous --- The first trade was a profit, but the next three were all teaching fees --- Getting the direction right but the timing wrong is even more painful than being completely wrong... --- That's why being smart alone isn't enough; you also need execution --- Not making a profit after closing @888@? Oh, details really can kill --- Knowing that going to @91@ means you’re not allowed to eat at @91@, the tricks are deep --- Honest traders admitting their mistakes are actually more likely to turn around --- It feels like you're summarizing rather than regretting; that mindset is commendable --- 4 correct judgments out of 1 is satisfying; is this the daily life of a trader? --- Bottom fishing is actually easier, chasing high leads to a fall, classic reversal

That's why even if your judgment is correct, it's useless. Details are the key. Having the right direction is actually more frustrating; I almost got on the train. It's good enough that the first trade was comfortable; the rest can wait for next time. Sometimes, a one-second early or late makes all the difference, really. Even with logical consistency, the market can be uncooperative, which is frustrating. Polishing execution skills really requires effort; just thinking about it isn't enough. Most traders fail because of timing; your awareness is already ahead.

One profit three white busy, this is the unpredictability of the market --- Getting the right judgment and still not making a profit, this is the most heartbreaking --- It sounds good, but the moment you execute, everything collapses --- Relying solely on logic is not enough; timing is truly mysterious --- Four trades, each comfortable, there's nothing much to boast about the success rate --- Maintaining a stable mindset is not easy; the market moves and you panic --- Details determine success or failure, but the difficulty lies in the uncontrollable --- Unity of knowledge and action? I think there's an ocean between knowing and doing

This is really outrageous; getting the judgment right doesn't mean you get the gains. 901 directly wiped out all plans at the opening. Details can really be a matter of life and death. Honestly, just having the first order go smoothly is good enough; the rest can be considered as tuition. Timing is really something you can't buy insurance for in advance. Keep exploring; anyway, this game is like this. Even if you catch a bottom, it's not a wasted trip.

Getting the direction right but still missing out, now that's really something Making money isn't about just picking the right coin; details are the key Accurate judgment but poor execution, I experience this often The first one feels comfortable, everything else becomes uncomfortable, this is trading Logic is correct but the market doesn't cooperate, you can only watch helplessly Details, timing, mindset—missing any one of these makes all the effort pointless Knowing what to do and actually doing it are completely two different things
