When the market weakens, your emotions are your greatest adversary.
The way the market kills is never through volatility, but by making you doubt yourself.
Every time the market weakens, the storyline is always eerily similar: the candlestick hasn't broken yet, but the panic in the community has already breached the defenses.
Various interpretations start flooding the screens, charts are repeatedly judged, as if the market is about to crash in the next second.
But the truly cruel part is not the volatility itself, but the escalation of hunting tactics.
Today's capital is better at exploiting human nature: fake breakouts washing out positions, repeated strangulation at key levels, sharp rises and falls creating anxiety— all of this is just to make retail investors continually doubt their judgments.
Those without a trading system will gradually collapse in this war of attrition.
The gap widens in despair.
Emotional traders: sell at the slightest dip, chase after rebounds, accounts shrink in repeated slaps to the face.
Disciplined traders: set key levels in advance, do not operate without hitting those levels, better to miss than to make mistakes.
Before the market truly turns, it often needs to go through extremely painful washouts.
This process will repeatedly break through psychological defenses, causing most people to surrender their chips.
When you notice that no one in the group is discussing the market anymore, that is the moment when opportunities quietly brew.
Those who survive possess three abilities.
Identify noise: stay away from communities that amplify emotions, focus on the signals of price itself.
Reverse positioning: test small positions when the market is panicking, take profits in batches when it is crazy.
Control rhythm: limit trading to 1-2 times a day, withdraw the principal immediately if profits exceed 20%.
Real breakthroughs often arise during the quietest periods.
If you constantly lose control of your emotions amidst volatility, it indicates that your trading system has not been truly established yet.
If you are still hesitating in place,
not knowing what to do next,
you can take a look at how I usually position and respond. @萧哥带单日记
