Trader's advice for year-end: Make sure you clear out your losing positions and failed strategies before December 31st hits 23:59. Don't drag the same baggage into the new year. 🤧

End-of-year reflection isn't just about profit and loss sheets—it's about mental reset. Leave behind what didn't work. The traders who succeed aren't the ones carrying yesterday's mistakes into tomorrow. Clean slate, fresh mindset, better execution. That's how you level up in 2025.

Clearing losing positions is easier said than done; how many people can really cut their losses? I think most people just talk about clearing out, while still hoping for a rebound in their hearts. The distribution of chips shows that this end-of-year sell-off wave is actually a good opportunity to release risk, but the problem is, you need to first figure out whether your strategy has truly failed or if you've just been manipulated by emotions. Anyway, in my framework, losing positions that have already formed must be cut, but don’t recklessly sell based on these "motivational chicken soup" style advice. Wait for more interesting entry points.

Really, the kind of pain that you can't cut through... I kept dragging it out last year, and as a result, it's still gathering dust this year.

Exactly right, I'm the guy holding the losing position through the New Year, and now I regret it to death.

Sounds good, but when it really comes to the time to cut losses, how many people can be ruthless... I've seen a bunch of people say they will clear their positions, but in the end, they still hold on until the New Year.

That's quite right, but I'm still stubbornly holding onto those few bad trades, feeling really frustrated inside.

ngl, what you said is really true. Cutting losses sometimes takes more courage than stubbornly holding on. I'm exactly the kind of person who drags losing positions into the end of the year, and it's truly exhausting.
