Understanding Trading After Six Years: It's Not the Technology that Reaps in a Bull Market, but the Emotion
After battling in the trading arena for six years, I finally unveiled the harsh truth of the bull market: the most ruthless harvesting never targets the quality of technology, but aims at the emotional collapse of retail investors.
I engraved a warning in the signature section of my trading software — "The missed opportunities are not due to the market's rise, but rather the unfillable chasms of human nature; every time I glance at the screen, I can instantly pull back my wandering mind.
My phone wallpaper doesn’t feature luxury cars or beautiful scenery, but rather a blurry screenshot of my holdings: next to the purchase record of ADA at $0.08, the words 'Don’t panic when getting off' are strikingly visible.
But when the price skyrocketed to $0.2, fear still gripped me, and in the moment of clearing my position, I also missed out on the subsequent 20-fold surge.
That steep bullish candle remains a thorn I can’t remove from my heart — the first to be washed out are never the funds, but the steadfast belief.
The regret over ADA has yet to subside, and ETH struck me a heavy blow.
After establishing a position at $2000, a massive bearish candle plummeted to $1600, I hurriedly 'rationally took profit,' only to find the next day the price shot up to $4500.
Staring at the empty position page, I suddenly realized: the scythe of the bull market specifically targets those whose emotions break down.
After that, I stopped fighting human nature and refined three sets of 'anti-human nature systems' to be executed automatically by tools: never enter the market if it’s below the 120-day line, changing the fear of missing out into the fear of making wrong purchases.
Funds are divided into six parts for light positioning, with responses for both rises and falls; entry, stop-loss, and target points are locked in advance, with automatic delivery at the set time.
During three major fluctuations last year, while others' accounts experienced severe turbulence, my profit curve steadily rose.
It turns out that in a bull market, it's not about who has the biggest courage, but rather who’s emotions collapse the latest.
Those who can laugh till the end are not the ones with the most accurate predictions, but the ones least swayed by emotions.
If you are also tired of being repeatedly taught lessons by the market, why not walk with me and make the trading journey a bit steadier.
