Since December of last year, I've been continuously losing for over 30 consecutive trades. I've neither turned a profit nor had a single turnaround. This downward trend is hard to accept.

Thinking back to when I was trading ZEC, my single-trade profit and loss ratio could reach 1:30, and at its best, it stayed around 1:20. The account curve back then was completely different.

Recently, I observed some friends who are doing well in trading. Their win rates don't seem very high either; theoretically, they should be using a strategy similar to mine—tight stop-losses and wide take-profits. But why do they seem to pick better entry points than I do? With the same stop-loss range, they can survive longer and have a higher probability of catching the trend.

Is my entry logic flawed? Or do I not understand risk management deeply enough? I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts.
