$BEAT Why do you always lose?
Many times, it's not that the market judgment is wrong, but that position control is not good enough.
There is a saying in the market that has always been true:
Newbies know how to enter the market, experts know how to exit, and those who can stay in cash for a long time are the real old players.
But do you know? The real difference is never just about "whether you can stay in cash," but whether you can control your position.
To put it simply, position management involves a few key things:
How much to put into this trade?
Should it be done all at once, or in batches?
At what point must you decisively cut losses?
Is there any backup?
This is not a skill; it's a survival ability.
You will find that many loss scenarios are almost familiar:
Rushing in with a full position, getting trapped by a slight fluctuation;
Adding more when there's a slight rise, suffering severely when it retraces;
The opportunity really comes, but due to hesitation, there's no ammunition;
Not setting stop losses, relying on faith to bear it, insisting until liquidation.
Looking back, the fundamental reason for losing money is not wrong judgment, but position loss control.
Here are a few simple but very effective principles:
Don’t put all your position in at once; use a fixed ratio to test the waters to avoid full position risk;
Enter and exit in batches, don’t get caught up in perfect entry points; the market won’t wait for you;
Always have a stop loss; no stop loss equals gambling;
Use funds in layers; long-term, swing, and short-term trades should be kept separate, don’t confuse them;
Leverage can increase efficiency, but never expect it to save you.
The market determines how much you can earn,
Position determines how far you can go.
Stabilize your position, stabilize your mindset,
Only those who can maintain their composure have the qualification to make money in the long run.
