Just look at those traders who actually make money — all theories are just clouds; in the end, it all comes down to the real numbers in your account. It sounds harsh, but this is the brutal truth of the market. No matter how skilled you are or how precise your analysis, if you don’t lock in the profits, everything is pointless. Securing your gains is easy to say but hard to do.
This logic is especially evident around major events like non-farm payroll data. When expectations and actual data diverge significantly, market volatility increases, and your ability to manage positions and control risks determines your final profit. Many people fail here — excellent technical skills, great mindset, but they just can’t bring themselves to take profits in time. As a result, the market reverses, and the previous profits vanish instantly.
Want to survive longer and earn more steadily in this market? There’s only one core principle: never treat paper profits as real money. What you hold in your hand is what counts.

Here we go again with "safe in the bag," it's easy to say but really feels like hell to do. Non-farm payrolls, this data killer, I've been afraid of it for a long time.
Rebuilding the mindset is still a road we must continue to walk, but I always feel that this time I can get through the cycle, as long as I keep my faith.
Honestly, watching the account numbers fluctuate is the biggest test of human nature. Opportunities are right in front of you, but you can't bring yourself to act. That's true cultivation.
Every time I say I won't be greedy this time, but then the market reverses and I get slapped in the face. When the trend evaporates in an instant, I feel like I lose myself.
On the night before the non-farm payrolls, is anyone else doing their homework in the bottom zone like me? Rebirth begins from this wave.

That's right, non-farm payroll data is just a harvest machine for retail investors. How many people's accounts see their unrealized gains wiped out overnight to pre-liberation levels?
Stop with that theory; in the end, it's all about the screenshots.

To be honest, this non-farm payroll data is just like this; as soon as the expectation gap appears, the true nature is revealed. Those with red accounts are definitely regretting not cutting their losses in time, haha.
