Sideways trading for three days, is everyone already collapsing? Expert: This is a "psychological test" before giving money.
The market is actually screening people by not moving. Those who can hold back and not act are the ones qualified to profit from the subsequent trend.
My defensive positions usually have two layers:
The first layer is "technical stop-loss" to prevent structural damage;
The second layer is "psychological stop-loss," pausing trading after consecutive losses.
A small tip to avoid big drops? I have a principle: do not hold heavy positions on directional trades over the weekend.
Because the uncertainty of news is too high, and once a black swan appears, it's hard to react.
What do I do during sideways trading?
Write trading logs, review mistakes, and even deliberately take breaks.
Many times, the best trading is "not trading."
In one sentence: sideways trading is not a waste of time, but an opportunity to "train your mindset." #震荡行情交易策略
