Trading for 8 years—why I’m not predicting OPENAI’s top and bottom this time?
Brothers, hi—I'm an old friend of yours with 8 years of trading experience.
Recently, many people have been discussing: “Can the OPENAI contract still go up? Is 1000 the bottom?”
The price has fallen from 1630 to 1017. Many people got trapped around 1400 and are anxious at the 1000 level. But instead of talking about up or down, I’d rather discuss this: why losses often don’t come from getting the direction wrong—they come from over-believing predictions?
After 8 years of experience, I’ve learned: nobody can predict the market 100%. What survives are those who have good risk management.
1. Why the more you predict, the easier it is to lose money?
Retail traders: predict ➔ over-allocate ➔ wait to prove yourself
Professionals: accept uncertainty ➔ control risk ➔ wait for the market to give the answer
When it drops to 1000, many people think, “Since it once reached 1630, it must be able to go back.” But the market won’t rise according to your cost basis. The most dangerous thing to say in trading is: “It’s dropped so much—so it should rebound.”
2. Why have the OPENAI contracts pulled back?
1. IPO expectations cool off: a delayed listing compresses the premium.
2. Valuation reversion: 1630 corresponded to a valuation of 1.63 trillion; the market has shifted to focusing on commercialization and compute costs—good companies ≠ endless upside.
3. Earnings re-evaluation: shifting from “AI will win” to focusing on how much value is created in practice.
3. Contingency plans for professional traders
I don’t predict price moves; I only prepare scenarios:
📍 The 1000 level: the gatekeeping position for a trillion-level valuation. If selling pressure fades on volume and it stabilizes, there may be a rebound in the near term.
📍 The 850–880 zone: corresponds to approximate $852B institutional cost lines in the primary market. If it breaks below 1000, you need to be prepared for a deeper dip toward this area.
4. Survival rules for high-volatility assets
1. Reduce leverage: often, even when your direction is right, high leverage can’t withstand volatility.
2. Don’t go all-in: protecting principal is always first.
3. Build positions in stages: set up multiple long scenarios—don’t bet on winning or losing in one shot.
5. Advice for friends holding positions
When facing a drawdown, don’t rush to think about getting back to breakeven. First check: Is the leverage safe? Can you withstand further downside? Do you have extreme-case plans?
Trading is running a business. Only by controlling risk can you stay at the table. The market always rewards those who last.
