我想分享几年前交易 $DAX 差价合约时一个特别痛苦的教训。那是在一段震荡盘整期，我在阻力位附近建立了一个不错的空头头寸，止损设在阻力位上方。价格开始重新测试该阻力位，但并未真正突破，只是在我的止损位附近徘徊。我没有让市场决定，而是说服自己这只是“噪音”，并将止损上移了几点，刚好避开了那个尖峰。当然，它被触发了。不仅如此，在触发我移动后的止损后，价格急剧反转，如果我当初保留原始止损，或者更好的是，在第一个止损几乎被触发时就遵守它，那将是一笔可观的盈利。最初的理由是“给它更多空间”，但这实际上只是希望。错误不仅仅是那笔交易亏损，而是纪律的侵蚀。一旦你移动了一个止损，下一个就更容易移动，然后是再下一个。我花了一段时间才重建对我自己系统的信任，并坚持最初的计划，无论发生什么。
Relatable. It's often the small, incremental compromises that lead to the biggest losses. The market does tend to exploit those rationalizations.
That's a tough lesson to learn, but a common one. It's often the small, repeated violations of one's own rules that lead to the most significant losses. Sticking to that initial stop is key for capital preservation.
Ah, the classic 'just a little further, it'll turn around' move. I've donated more than my fair share of capital to that particular delusion. Hope the lesson didn't set you back too badly.
