From "Emotional Trader" to "Strategy Executor": My Three-Stage Growth at Gate!

If trading has helped me grow, then Gate has allowed me to evolve. From the initial "excitement when prices rise and panic when they fall" to now being able to calmly execute based on strategies, I have gone through three stages.

[Stage 1: Emotion-Driven Period - Bullish Chase, Bearish Run]
Just starting to trade, I buy when the K line rises and sell when it falls. 
Truly a "market-following type of leek."
At that time, my biggest misconception was: treating volatility as a trend and emotions as signals.
Every stop-loss hurts, but pain aside, I've learned:
I cannot hand my emotions over to the market.

[Stage 2: Rule Establishment Period - Use Gate tools to turn chaos into clarity]
I started to learn:
✔ Set take profit and stop loss
✔ Use limit orders at key price levels
✔ Build positions in batches instead of heavy one-time investments
✔ Use reminders to avoid FOMO
Gate's functionality made me experience for the first time:
No panic, no chaos, with order.

[Stage 3: Strategy Execution Period - Trading has a "Systematic Feel"]
Now I have my own rhythm:
① Increase positions only when the trend strengthens
② Exit immediately when key levels are broken
③ Do not bet on the market's size
④ Doing homework is more important than acting impulsively
Whether I make a profit or not is one thing, 
but for the first time, I feel: 
I have the initiative in the market.

Gate brought me 3 points of real growth
📌① Trading is not about proving oneself, but about protecting the principal. Those who understand this sentence usually suffer significant losses.
📌② Tools make you mature, no longer relying on "mood trading". The clearer the trading, the more you can remain calm.
📌③ Growth comes from repeated reviews, not a single surge. 
Reviewing is the source of continuous profit.

[Conclusion: Are you also evolving?]
I have transformed from an emotional trader into a strategy executor.
It is not a talent, but Gate has allowed me to experience —
what it means to "grow amidst volatility."
