description: "Today's profit was lower than the average, but it's still a comeback from the brink.Looking at the daily chart, I judged before the market opened that Micron's bullish momentum was insufficient, and I still focused on shorting during the session. So, after the first 5-minute K-line at the open, I decisively shorted at 447, only to see the price surge to 455, and I firmly cut my losses.Lost $300 on the very first trade of the day, what a perfect start 😭.Then Micron's K-line chart showed a fierce battle between bulls and bears. After the bulls won, I went long and recouped some losses.AMD and Broadcom had positive news in the past two days. Today, I caught a good breakout opportunity and turned the overall loss into a profit.I remember watching Teacher Lei say on YouTube before:In day trading, mindset and stop-loss are crucial. There's always another opportunity. Don't be discouraged, and don't hold onto losing positions. You might hold and recover countless times, but if you fail to recover just once, you'll be wiped out. Clocking out, back at it tomorrow."
