In this market, those who can truly hold on until the end are often not the most敏锐 (keen-sensed), but those who know when to stop.
SOL's recent rally was fierce, but I've seen too many people completely lose themselves between rises and falls.
Many started with just 10,000 yuan—when the market slightly turned up, emotions took over, and they went all in. When it rose, they started dreaming of a turnaround; when it fell, they immediately cut losses and admitted defeat. It's like riding a roller coaster; in the end, only a pile of tuition bills remains in the account.
I also slipped into this trap once. Only later, through review, did I realize it wasn't the market fighting against me, but myself deliberately ruining my own chances.
That liquidation was actually the most valuable lesson I ever learned—after that, every trade's mindset changed completely.
My current approach is very simple: four words—"Slowly roll." How exactly? Small positions to test the waters, add more once confirmed, and cut losses immediately if wrong. It may sound unexciting, but in the long run, the account curve just keeps trending upward. Some say I’m timid, but this "timidity" is earned with real money.
When there’s no clear trend, I can stay out for days without action. When the rhythm truly arrives, I dare to invest heavily. What's the benefit of this? It’s never betting on the direction itself, only managing position size and timing of entry.
After so many years of trading, nine out of ten people who lose money are not losing because of technical skills—they're losing because of greed and impatience. To truly turn things around, the first step is to stop opening random orders, avoid heavy bets on bottoms just to gamble on luck, and never use living expenses to play this game.
Market opportunities are available every year, but once the principal is gone, the game is over. Moving slowly is perfectly fine, as long as you get the direction right and keep a steady rhythm, in the end, you’ll be the one smiling.
