Bear Market Journal · Day 83

Recently, I have gained a deeper insight: as ordinary investors, what we can truly control is not the market fluctuations, but our position size and mental resilience.

My trading logic is very straightforward:

Invest a fixed amount of USDT monthly, and buy BNB spot in batches at key support levels. The benefit of this approach is to avoid chasing highs and getting caught, as well as not missing bottom opportunities.

I am very restrained with leverage — only using it to accumulate chips. In a bull market, leverage is used for cashing out, not for dreaming of getting rich overnight. This point is often misunderstood.

Daily review + cross-cycle reading has become a habit. Bear markets are learning windows, bull markets are execution windows.

The pitfalls I’ve stepped into over six years have now become trading disciplines:

Never fully allocate your position. My maximum allocation is 20%, and the remaining USDT should be reserved for extreme market conditions. Many people don’t understand this and think that not fully investing when opportunities come is a loss. In fact, the more patient you are with your bullets, the more you can deploy at critical moments.

Better to miss out than chase highs. This market is not short of opportunities, only of execution. Missed opportunities will always come back in another form.

Dollar-cost averaging may seem counterintuitive, but time will prove everything. Just like preparing a boat when the tide recedes, only when the tide rises can you set sail. Bear markets are gifts for those who stick to their plans.

Every week, I will update my real trading data. If you are also silently坚持定投, welcome to comment and witness each other. Use discipline to exchange for freedom — this is our promise to ourselves.
