“Whenever next choppy phase comes I want to preserve gains of this bull phase…”

Feedback in:

Hello sir,

My biggest challenge [on trading] is drawdowns after a good performance. I tripled my account from 1st April 2023 to August 2024, but gave up 55% in next one year.

After that again I recovered till previous high but again dropped 50% now again I am at previous high, markets are good hopefully I will cross my new high and keep climbing new highs ahead.

Last 2 yrs were choppy and challenging, partially due to markets partially due to my own mistakes.

Now my major focus is: whenever next choppy phase comes I want to preserve gains of this bull phase.

Thanks and regards.

You need a system. Do you have one?
