I just gritted my teeth and closed my short order, and the market immediately went against me—rebounding all the way.
If it were just a coincidence, it would be fine, but this kind of thing has happened too many times. I mean, how can it be so coincidental that every time I take a position in the opposite direction, the price rushes in the other direction?
In fact, many traders have this feeling. Especially in a market with significant fluctuations, just when you exit, the trend reverses, and that moment really feels quite powerless. Sometimes you can't help but ask: Is it just bad luck, or does the market like to go against retail investors?
Upon careful consideration, there may be several factors at play: first, the entry point chosen is itself prone to pitfalls; second, the uncertainty of the market does exist, and no one can predict it with 100% accuracy; third, the influence of mindset—when losses occur, it is easier to remember those "rebounding moments."
Anyway, this is trading. Sometimes it just hits hard. Will I be more cautious next time? Maybe, but who can guarantee that?
Haha, survivor bias everyone, just remember the time I lost.
The moment I stopped loss on the position, I knew I was going to be reversed, it’s fate.
To be honest, it’s still because I’m not good enough, blaming the market is just too funny.
The entry point was chosen poorly, who can I blame? Blame myself.
When the mindset collapses, nothing works, this is the real problem.
Next time? Next time I will still hit a wall, that’s the fate of trading.
Retail investors are inherently on the opposite side, accept reality.
Once I close, it pumps; if I don't close, it crashes, as if the market is monitoring our holdings.
To put it bluntly, it's still a game of mindset and luck, there's no absolute solution, just have to accept it.
That's why many people end up dying from the mentality of "just wait a little longer."
The market loves to play this game; the more urgent you are to cut loss, the more you lose, but if you just leave it alone, you can't sleep.
This sense of powerlessness is something every shorting person understands.
