Don't remind me again today

Last spring, I returned again. Holding 50,000 yuan that I had cobbled together, I was calculating one last time in my heart.



To be honest, this is not my first time stepping into this world. A few years ago, I impulsively followed others and invested all the tens of thousands I had saved over several years, and what was the result? I ended up with just a fraction left. Those days were truly tormenting; I would stare blankly at the green charts every day, lost my appetite during meals, and tossed and turned at night unable to sleep. I even felt embarrassed to meet up with the buddies I used to drink with.

So this time, I learned my lesson. I didn't dare to mess around anymore and went in with the mindset of "let's make one last gamble, and if it doesn't work, I'll completely back off." Who would have thought that, after six months, my account balance actually increased by four zeros, directly surpassing seven figures.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a pie falling from the sky, nor is it some sort of "insider information" nonsense. Having been in this industry for eight years, I've seen too many stories—some people double their worth overnight, while others fall from the peak to the bottom and can't get back up. After stepping into countless pitfalls and watching many people fall, I've slowly figured out a principle: market trends are unpredictable, but positioning is something you can control.

Today, I will share my hard-earned experience without reservation. Friends who can understand this are probably already thinking about how to adjust their strategies. However, I must say a harsh truth upfront: out of ten retail investors, nine fall victim to the words "greed, impatience, and floating." Some lightly give back all the profits they painstakingly earned, while others end up with their principal trapped, ultimately having to cut their losses and leave. If you want to stay in this circle for the long haul, you need to carefully contemplate the following content.

Slowly build your position at a low level, don't be foolish and become a sucker.

If I had to say the most unforgettable lesson of my life, it would be when I impulsively invested all my money into Bitcoin, only to see it plummet by 20% the next day, leaving me completely stunned. Since then, I've made a strict rule for myself: never put all your eggs in one basket again…

It's the same old story again, turning fifty thousand into a seven-digit number, I've heard it too many times. The key point is that half of the people can't even recover their positions. --- There's nothing wrong with building a position at a low point, but how many can really withstand the psychological torment? --- Being impatient is indeed a valid point, but most people still go all in after listening. --- Eight years of experience is valuable, but the market can change its face at any time, and no one is a prophet. --- Position management is indeed something I can control, but what about the rest? Hehe. --- When it comes to cutting losses, I've seen too many people unwilling to press that button. --- The stories of doubling down spread much faster than the stories of losses, that's human nature.

It's the same old story again, I've heard it too many times, bro. --- Seven digits? Alright, I'll believe you for now, but why does this story sound just like what my fren said? --- Greed can be dangerous, that's true, but when the market really comes, no one can hold on. --- It's the last gamble, everyone thinks like this, and then? --- Talking about building a position at a low point isn't wrong, it's just that retail investors can never time that low point right. --- Nine out of ten fail, is that last one you? --- I kind of believe that part about losing to the last penny, that part sounds quite sincere. --- 50,000 to seven digits, in half a year? Give me a number, how many times did it multiply? --- Position allocation is indeed something you can control, I agree on this. --- I just want to know if you're still in that seven digits now.

To put it bluntly, it’s just good luck to hit the right trend; don’t consider yourself as Buffett. If it were really that simple, everyone would be rich by now, and we wouldn’t have to worry about it. Turning 50,000 into seven digits? Yeah, I believe you, sure. I've heard this kind of talk too many times; how did it end up last time? Position management is indeed important, but the premise is that you need to have market judgment ability. Nine out of ten retail investors fail, and who knows how long the remaining one can survive? The words "greed" and "impatience" hit a sore spot for me; I've stepped into that trap more than once. Here comes another story; everyone knows how it ends.

It's once again this narrative of "you only understand after losing"; I've heard it too many times. Is it true or not? Fifty thousand turning into seven digits, I feel like that's a bit sketchy. That's why I never listen to so-called insider information; I've cut losses seven or eight times. Building a position at a low seems simple, but who can really hit the bottom? I certainly haven't. Nine out of ten retail investors lose money, so I must be that tenth person, haha. The phrase "last-ditch effort" is the most misleading; they always say it's the last time.

Here comes another reverse teaching material. To put it bluntly, it’s just good luck hitting the market. I’ve heard this set of words too many times, and it eventually became the opening line for playing people for suckers. Is the seven-digit number real or fake? How can it be proven? "Impatience floats" is indeed correct, but the key is how you avoid it, what are the details? I just want to know how this fifty thousand turned into a seven-digit number, or can I only listen to stories. Before you brag about being amazing, take a look at whether the money you made is real gold or just numbers on the books. It feels like telling a story to new suckers, the tricks are deep, everyone.

Is it true that 50,000 turned into seven figures in six months? How come I'm still losing money, haha This story sounds a bit familiar, I was fooled like this last year too. The key is position management, the statement is correct, but I can't control myself when it comes to execution. Hey, this guy is very clear, if it's not insider information, then it's really made money. The three words "greed" and "impatience" hit the nail on the head, I fall for this every time. Another story of seven figures, I've heard too many jokes like this in the group. The egg basket theory, I know this principle, but I just can't put it into practice.
