# Recovering

I started losing principal a few days ago. When I was about to lose principal, I was very conflicted. Should I protect my principal by liquidating my position and wait for it to stabilize before coming back?

I kept hesitating. I sold the positions with profits, and kept the ones I was unwilling to cut and those I thought had already hit rock bottom. My current position is maintained at 70%.

Actually, when the war just started, I reduced my position to half. Then I did some T+0 trading, many stocks rose again, I couldn't resist and went back in, and the result was...

I still haven't been resolute in executing my decisions, lacking determination.

The path of cultivation is long, I will seek it up and down!
