The recent market that neither rises nor falls is very frustrating. You must control your hands. Because it will neither let you immediately clear your position and admit your loss, nor will it let you hold the valuable chips with peace of mind. You will be constantly worn out, constantly tempted, and constantly make mistakes.
What really makes the principal lost is not the market, but the defects of human nature:
Greed: chasing after a slight increase, wanting to take advantage of every wave, resulting in frequent high-buying and low-selling
Jealousy: seeing others seize the hot spots and soaring, even if they have risen several times, they still can't help but follow orders
Reluctant: Don't cut if you are trapped, regret it if you change, and chase it if it rises but doesn't go up, and live forever in the regret of missing
And these emotions, once superimposed, will eventually lead you to the same place:
Betting recklessly outside the circle of competence.
You start buying coins that you don't understand at all, you listen to the hot spots recommended by passers-by, you FOMO a plate that you are not familiar with at all and don't know the distribution of positions, and then, in one short-term operation after another, the principal is slowly evaporated.
So, the most important ability at this stage is not operation, but restraint.
Restrain impulse: Don’t trade just because you are bored, the sideways period is not a casino
Stick to the field you are familiar with: only buy what you are familiar with, and you are familiar with it
Control the frequency: do less operations, focus on research, and wait for the next real structural opportunity to appear
Only those who can stabilize their positions in the grinding market are worthy of eating big meat in the main rising wave.
