The performance of the market in the past few days is actually quite clear—bulls are continuing to exert effort, and strong signals are emerging one after another. Many people have caught some good gains. But you'll notice that, within this wave of market movement, some are making comfortable profits while others miss out on most of the gains due to frequent stop-losses and constant position adjustments.



To put it simply, the market never lacks opportunities to make money. What is truly scarce is the mindset to withstand volatility. Especially when prices experience small pullbacks, many people start to become restless—either rushing to cut losses or repeatedly adding positions to lower the average cost. Some even take profits immediately when slightly in the green, only to watch the market continue upward, filled with regret.

If you've already formulated a trading plan, you need the courage to stick to it. Focus on your established strategy and have confidence in your judgment. This way, you'll be able to reap the deserved rewards when the market truly moves. The market will never change because of your anxiety, but your mindset will directly influence the final outcome.

That's right, it's a mindset issue... I used to frequently cut losses too. Now seeing others win effortlessly, I really regret it. Honestly, watching the market continue to rise while I stand by helplessly feels really bad. This wave truly tests people; sticking to the plan is easy to say but hard to do. Human nature is like that—panic at the slightest pullback. This bad habit needs to be changed. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have traded so frequently, spreading out the costs, and ended up losing. Watching others hold steadily and laughing last, while I keep messing around... Mindset is really the most valuable thing in trading. Cutting losses hurts the most, especially when the market rebounds right after you sell... In the face of the market, retail investors just can't help but act.

You're so right. I'm the typical type who cuts losses and always gets sidetracked. Watching others profit, I end up with nothing but ashes in my mouth. Mindset really can be a matter of life and death. I just want to ask, how can I avoid anxiety, bro? It's really just a lack of that kind of resolve. This market trend truly tests people's hearts, I admit defeat. Sticking to the plan sounds easy in theory, but it's really hard to do. I feel like I just lack that bit of execution power.

That's right, mindset is indeed the most difficult part. Make plans early and stay steady, then you'll avoid a bunch of worries later. Watching others trade frequently often results in bigger losses, which is quite frustrating. It's just that I get easily scared by small pullbacks; this bad habit needs to be fixed.

That's right, the hardest part is the mindset. I've also repeatedly fallen into traps myself.

That's right, the hardest part is the mindset. I tend to be the type that frequently cuts losses, and I never manage to make a big profit each time.

That's right, it's a matter of mentality. I've been caught in it that way too. Really, how much you can earn by sticking to a plan, and how much you can lose by frequent trading. This wave definitely has people making money and others just taking the leftovers; it depends on whether you can hold steady. The ones who cut losses are always the bagholders. Honestly, only after losing do you understand. Money earned with a good mentality, but with a bad mentality, it all comes back up.

Honestly, mindset really can decide everything. Just by looking at the market movements over the past couple of days, you can see that some people are making very comfortable profits, while others are sabotaging themselves with their own fingers. I’m most annoyed by those who frequently cut their losses. The market hasn't even fully played out yet, and they’re already sentencing themselves to death, still regretting. Stick to your plan and persevere. Don’t make things so complicated. This round of market really tests human nature. Those with a strong mindset should be feeling great right now. Forget it, talking too much is pointless. Most people just can’t change this bad habit.

It sounds good, but when it really comes to critical moments, you still have to rely on mental resilience. The ones around me who make money are those who can resist checking the market. --- It's all about mindset again. The problem is that anxiety is really hard to control, especially when you see your account plunging. --- That's why most people end up losing money. Execution is the greatest competitive advantage. --- No matter how well the plan is made, a sudden crash makes you forget everything. The key is to trust your judgment and stay firm. --- Indeed, what I regret most in the end is not holding on to the position, but selling it after holding on for a while. --- You're right, but for me to hold steady during a 20% drop, I really need some resolve. --- The market isn't short of opportunities; what it lacks is that damn patience. --- Finding the balance between stop-loss and holding on is truly difficult. If I hadn't suffered losses before, I wouldn't understand this. --- By the way, how do you distinguish between holding on and stubbornly sticking to it? That's the core issue. --- It's really about whether you truly have confidence in your trading logic. Without confidence, holding on is just torture.

That's right, it's a mindset issue. I am the kind of person who frequently cuts losses, and I regret it every time. Mindset is really the hardest part, even more difficult than watching the charts. Not holding on is the fundamental reason for losing money. It's the same old story, but the key is to have a plan, otherwise just talking about mindset is useless. I just want to ask, after making a good plan, can you really stick to it? It feels easier said than done. This wave has definitely made some people a fortune, while I am still struggling with whether to cut my losses or not. Anxiety really can cause you to make the worst decisions.
