Today, I suddenly started wondering whether this market just isn’t for me. I’ve been trading for years and I’m still losing money. I keep putting money in, but I’ve never withdrawn any. In real life, I’m what you’d call a programmer earning a million yuan a year—not poor, but not rich either. I keep feeling like something’s wrong with the way I trade. I take profits as soon as I make a little, but I can sit through any amount of losses. Is it because I can’t overcome human nature? I was going long all through August. When that latest rally came, I took a small profit and got out (I’d been stuck in a long position from 2,100 for two months before that). I guess that’s what you call a retail investor getting fleeced, right? My account balance was close to 600,000 yuan then. I reversed and opened a short, and, well, here we are. At the time, I thought I’d quit once my account hit 700,000 yuan and buy a Yangwang U7 for fun. But then… The last rally dragged my account down to a low of under 200,000. I shorted ZEC, that absolutely insane coin. It’s not like I’d get liquidated—I can always add more funds, and my position wasn’t that big to begin with. I didn’t even look at the charts once during the seven-day National Day holiday. Today I’m wondering: I’ve still got 400,000 left. Should I just close everything with one click? Maybe this market just isn’t for me.
