Twenty-Eighth Day · Why "Effective Review" Is More Important Than "Effective Trading"


This is #币圈100天成长计划 's 28th/100th day.
📝 An unconventional truth:
What helps you improve is not how many trades you make, but how many times you genuinely review them.
Most people:
Trade 10 times, review 0 times;
Lose 10 times, summarize 0 times;
Repeat the same mistakes 10 times.
Then ask: Why am I still stuck in the same place?
💎 Today's core insight: Trading without review is just repetition, not growth
Level 1: Most people's understanding of "review" is wrong
Your idea of review:
"Made money today, I’m so awesome."
"Lost today, the market maker is so bad."
This is not review; it’s an emotional diary.
True review is:
▫️ Made money — was it luck or skill? Can it be replicated?
▫️ Lost — was it the market’s fault or mine? How to avoid next time?
▫️ No action — was it hesitation or patience? Was my judgment correct?
Level 2: Why is effective review so scarce
Because honestly facing oneself is the hardest thing in the world.
Admitting that you make money by luck is harder than admitting you lose money due to lack of skill.
Admitting you made a basic mistake is more painful than accepting the loss itself.
Admitting you don’t understand a certain narrative takes more courage than blindly following the crowd.
But it is this "admission" that
distinguishes the chives spinning in place from the evolvers ascending spirally.
Level 3: The compound effect of review
One effective review may not make you profit tomorrow.
But 10 effective reviews will clarify your decision-making framework.
100 reviews will enable you to recognize opportunities faster, act more confidently, and know when to exit.
This is "Cognitive Compound Interest"—
Every review you do is saving for future decisions.
✨ Today's Action: Build your "Three-Level Review System"
Level 1: Trading Review (5 minutes daily)
After each trade, record:
▫️ Entry logic: Why did I buy at that moment? (Narrative? Data? Emotions?)
▫️ Exit logic: Why did I sell? (Target achieved? Stop loss? Panic?)
▫️ Result attribution: How much was due to market movement, and how much to my own decision?
▫️ Emotional state: Was I calm, anxious, FOMO, or panicked during decision?
Level 2: Cycle Review (30 minutes weekly)
At the end of each week, review:
▫️ Overall performance: Weekly return vs. the market
▫️ Best decision: The most satisfying trade this week, and why
▫️ Worst decision: The trade I regret most this week, and what I learned
▫️ Pattern recognition: Did I repeat any past mistakes this week?
Level 3: Cognitive Review (1 hour monthly)
At the end of each month, ask yourself deeply:
▫️ Framework upgrade: What iterations has my investment framework undergone this month?
▫️ Blind spot discovery: What cognitive blind spots did I uncover this month?
▫️ Behavior calibration: Did my actions this month align with my investment personality? (Refer to Day 16)
▫️ Next month’s goals: What skills do I want to focus on improving next month?
