Don't remind me again today

#美联储降息 has seen too many people reviewing their accounts after a zero balance, always saying "just a little bit more." But the truth is — from the first loss, the outcome is already written.



Those operations that deplete the account seem to be "the market is too harsh" on the surface, but in fact, they are pitfalls dug by oneself:

**All in, betting like a god**
Just entering the market and wanting to get rich overnight? A 10% rise or fall feels slow, so just go all-in with 20x leverage. If you bet right once, you feel like you can see through the trends; but what if you bet wrong? You refuse to admit it, thinking "it will definitely come back"—until the liquidation notice pops up, and you realize the trend never listens to your reasoning. A big bearish candle, and half a year's savings are gone.

**The stop-loss line has become a decoration**
When placing an order, one vows "I'll run if I lose 5%", but when it actually reaches that point, they hesitate: "Could it be a trap?" "Should I wait a bit longer?" As a result, the loss expands to 20%, and they start to add positions to "dilute the cost". When a one-sided market comes, the money decreases like a funnel the more they add, and in the end, they run out of ammunition to turn things around.

**Emotional Outburst Leads to Vicious Cycle**
When losing money, one wants to quickly make it back, rushing in at the sight of fluctuations; when earning, one is reluctant to take profits, thinking "let's wait a bit longer, it might double." The smaller the account number, the more fragile the mindset—ultimately, one goes all in to gamble with the remaining amount, and when the market pulls back, it goes to zero completely.

**Trade System Based on Feelings**
Not looking at charts or studying data, relying entirely on messages from the group and big accounts' calls. When the price goes up, they claim to have insight; when it goes down, they curse the market makers for harvesting. Without any strategy to support them, it's pure luck-based gambling—such accounts going to zero is just a matter of time.

Ultimately, the principal is not wiped out by a single mistake, but rather by the thoughts of "unwilling to cut losses" and "betting one more time" that gradually eat away at it. The market is not lacking in opportunities; what is lacking is the courage to admit mistakes and the discipline to survive.

Who said it was a new low? I've already gotten liquidated three times.
