It was also my first time making money in the A-share market.
First, I saw Vida say they were planning to buy the dip on the ChiNext Index.
But I didn't have much capital, so I chose to buy an individual stock, Zhongji Innolight.
I figured I'd follow along a bit.
Then I realized I hadn't even activated access to the ChiNext market,
so I could only buy the index.
My card had a daily limit of 500,000, though,
so I bought over two days.
After that, the index didn't fall much,
but Zhongji Innolight plunged,
so I put in another 500,000—and by then I was able to activate ChiNext access.
In the end, I bought the absolute bottom at 433. That day, I wanted to ask them to raise my limit so I could buy more,
but I stayed up late that night and couldn't be bothered to do anything, so I didn't.

Actually, at over 400, Zhongji Innolight had already given several top traders a brutal bottom.
After losing money in U.S. stocks and crypto, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to keep buying Zhongji Innolight.
Besides, it was a market I'd traded several times before without ever making a profit.
When things aren't going your way, it's pretty good to learn from how other people trade.
