Why do you always lose money? $UNI
Many times, it's not that the market is wrong, but that the money is too heavy.
There’s a saying in the market that has always been accurate:
Those who enter the market are beginners, those who exit are experts, and those who can maintain a long-term empty position are the true veterans.
But the real difference lies not just in whether one can hold an empty position, but in whether one can manage their position size.
To put it simply, position management comes down to a few things:
How much to press on this order?
Is it all in at once, or in portions?
At what position must one admit the mistake?
Is there any backup left?
This is not a skill; it is a survival ability.
Many loss scenarios are actually very familiar:
Rushing in fully invested, getting trapped by slight fluctuations;
Adding positions as the price rises, getting hurt as soon as a correction comes;
When the opportunity truly arrives, hesitating and having no bullets;
Not setting stop losses and relying on faith to hold on.
Looking back, one will find that most of the losses are not due to judgment issues, but due to uncontrolled positions.
A few simple but useful principles:
Don’t complete the position in one go; use a fixed ratio to test the waters first;
Try to enter and exit in batches, don’t be obsessed with perfect entry points;
Always have a stop loss; without a stop loss, you are gambling;
Use funds in layers; long-term, swing, and short-term each have their own paths;
Leverage can improve efficiency, but never expect it to save you.
The market determines how much you can earn,
Position determines how far you can go.
Once the position is stable, the mindset can be stable;
Only those who can maintain a steady mind are qualified to earn money in the long term. #BEAT
