When every little fluctuation in growth affects your mood, it means your position size is too large. This isn’t investing—it’s gambling. You’re betting on big or small, on whether prices will rise or fall.
Investing should be viewed from a third-person perspective: regulate your actions, standardize your execution. Draw lines, set take-profit and stop-loss—rather than letting yourself get pulled into the candlestick chart and let the red-and-green moves drive your emotional swings.
Buying the dip to add on a decline, chasing gains when prices rise—saying they’re wrong isn’t the point. Everyone’s trading style differs; everyone needs their own set of trading methods. But any trading method should include take-profit and stop-loss levels.
Without a take-profit: when the price pulls back after rising, you’ll regret why you didn’t leave earlier, why you didn’t close the position. That can lead you to add more, thinking that if you can get back to that level, you’ll make even more.
Without a stop-loss: when the price falls, you’ll keep buying, buying, buying to add and average down, raising your cost. You always feel it will reverse and rebound.
The trading market is a world of rules—everything is built on rules. At the same time, it’s also a magnifying glass that magnifies your flaws and shortcomings in human nature.
Many people think trading is a kind of torment, but I feel it’s more like a process of honing oneself—constantly refining your human nature so you can better examine yourself and change.
Let’s encourage each other.
