Most people incur losses not because the market is too difficult, but because they are held back by their own emotions.
I've seen too many examples like this: in the early stages of a bull market, they think it's too expensive and dare not buy; when the prices go up, they secretly vow to 'definitely follow next time.'

But when the market really starts, they doubt it's a trap; it's only when everyone is flaunting their profits that they can't help but rush in with a full position—only to end up buying at the peak.
These kinds of stories repeat every day. When missing out, what torments you isn't that you didn't make money, but that others did; when chasing prices, what you fear isn't the risk, but missing out. Once emotions dominate your actions, you become the easiest target to be harvested in the market.
Why is it always like this?
Because the market has its own rhythm: after a rapid rise, there is often a sharp correction. The market makers most look forward to you rushing in during FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
The truly worthwhile entry points often appear when the market is quiet and no one is paying attention. When you are pushed into the market by emotions, the opportunity has actually already passed.
How to break out of this cycle?$BEAT
1. Lower your expectations: don't always think about buying at the lowest and selling at the highest; it’s more about luck than skill.
2. Execute your plan: set your entry and exit conditions in advance, and don’t act until those points are reached; it’s better to miss out than to chase wildly.
3. Always leave room: going all in means handing over the decision-making power to the market, and nine times out of ten, the outcome is ugly.
The most ironic thing about the market is: the more you fear missing out, the more likely you are to get trapped; the more you fear losing out, the more often you end up buying at the peak.
So, next time the market is crazy and news is flooding in, it might be worth stopping for a second and asking yourself:
Am I seizing an opportunity, or am I just escaping fear?
Those who can sustain profits are not necessarily the first to enter, but they surely understand how to wait.@bit萧
