Retail investor curse: Why does it always fall when I buy and rise when I sell?



Chasing during a rise, cutting during a fall, the more you operate, the more you lose.
It is not a coincidence, but a necessity.

Truth 1: You are paying for emotions.

Short-term trading, 90% of people die from emotions.
When the currency keeps rising, I can't help but rush in; with a big bearish candlestick, I hurriedly cut my losses.
Retail investors typically hold their tokens for only a few hours to a few days, while large investors plan for several weeks or months.
For example, being able to hold onto a short position during a bear market is also a form of cultivation.

Truth 2: Your actions have long been quantified and locked.

You think you've found an opportunity, but in reality, every move you make has already been monitored by funds and locked in by sentiment modeling.

When the hype begins, large funds often start to withdraw.

When the whole network is in despair, smart money is quietly accumulating.

Retail investors focus on the K-line, while large investors focus on you.

How to break it? Counterintuitive trading

1. Abnormal Trading Volume Alert

Prices are at a new high, but the number of active wallets on the chain is decreasing, and capital circulation is negative. Be careful of the main players harvesting.

When prices diverge from on-chain data, it is likely a trap.

2. Reverse Position Management

Rise and reduce, fall and replenish, for example

Lock in profits by reducing 20% for every 15% rise;
Every time it falls by 20%, gradually increase positions to lower the cost.

If you can't help it, you'll be out, and you can only eat meat if you can endure it.

The market does not target anyone,
But emotional people are always ATMs.

Want to get rid of "buying leads to a fall, selling leads to a rise"?
Control your hands, do the opposite, and slowly you will be able to survive.
