What My Trading System Does When the Market Warns Us

Recently, the market mood has changed.

Tensions between the US and Iran are rising.

This war issue has continued for four weeks now.

To be honest, my "Brawler System" is not super fast at sensing danger.

It is a bit slow. (Maybe it's like me? 😉)

But at the end of the third week, the system finally caught a clear "warning signal."

"Let’s avoid the heavy rain first"

The market might turn into a downtrend.

So, the Brawler System decided to use a special card: Reducing position size.

It was supposed to start on March 19. But the program had a small "brain freeze" (a bug, now fixed!).

So, it actually started reducing the position size from March 20.

It was one day late, but I’m glad it woke up!

How long will this last?

I don’t know. The system doesn’t know either.

But we can guess from the past:

• Normal issues: Usually lasts 1–3 months.

• Last year’s tariff shock: Lasted about 2 months.

• 2022 big bear market: Lasted 6 months to over a year.

The system will keep its "body size" small until the market becomes stable again.

Hope inside the loss

Looking at my account hurts.

I have lost some money.

But seeing the Brawler System try its best to protect the account makes me feel safe.

It feels like the system is saying: "Master, now is not the time to jump in!"

I built this system myself.

Seeing it work in real life, not just in theory, gives me peace of mind.

Even though the market is bad, I feel strong.

I will get through this crisis with my system.
