Time traveler, I want to win!
Another dimension will have someone helping you catch what you missed, seeing everyone constantly watching storage and AI hitting new highs, I can only sigh, once I had it.
Opportunities are always there, just whether you have the "courage" to chase the highs.
🌟In another world, I probably wasn't stopped out by the Iran war, right?
This January, guided by Li Shao and Tianli, I started a large-scale rally in US stocks, all of which were well-known in the crypto circle.
$MU $SNDK $INTC $GOOGLE Wait.
But the entry points were actually pretty average, even though they look great now, back then they were always in high-level oscillation.
Then in March, Iran, the US, and Israel started fighting, directly crashing the US stock market.
Of course, looking back now, it was an opportunity to get in at that time, but we didn't know, was it a 45-degree rise all the way?
The most interesting thing is that near the end of April, the last wave of decline started, and I began to cut losses.
After that, it fell again, and I was lucky to have escaped, and then there was nothing after that.
Thinking back on this part of the operation, there are quite a few things worth pondering:
1. First time playing US stocks, didn't know it could rally like that, small-farmer mentality in crypto;
2. The funds I used on Tradexyz had too high a fee rate, so I didn't dare hold long, I still kept some in the stock account, just didn't leverage;
3. Always thinking about buying low and selling high daily, and after realizing I was wrong, I didn't admit it in time, should have recovered, previously chasing high and getting stuck, then rising to make money, thought it would be the same this time, but chasing high could eat 300%?
🌟In another world, I wonder if I can handle the mentality?
Thinking about the beginning of the year, I was still trading $COPPER copper commodities, gold and silver were soaring then, so I joined in, felt money was coming in fast.
But after dinner, everything started crashing, mainly due to silver plunging, and the story was that I was too lazy to add margin, leveraged too big, and on Friday it crashed, by Monday all positions were gone.
I also remember someone saying that after precious metals and commodities, it was crude oil, so I bought oil around $45, which was quite tough, then sold at $48, and suddenly war broke out, now I'm thinking whether to chase or not.
Then I kept chasing and rolling over positions, by Monday before work, Tradexyz was nearly at 110, then I took a nap, woke up to find it at 83 and sold.
Actually, just adding a little margin or closing and reopening would have been fine.
Then, out of boredom, I also traded natural gas, since Qatar's largest natural gas was said to have been bombed, but natural gas and natural gas are different 😂.
Anyway, I didn't make money, but I learned a lot.
The key is that I felt the process is the same as the result—both are gone—but now I see that I held on and came back, but what if the result had been different?
So I think it's still a trend issue; I was long in a downtrend, and now it looks like I stopped out at the bottom or just before an uptrend begins.
But it's all just clouds, after all, these are all conclusions after the fact.
🌟Slow is fast, choosing the right moment to wait quietly for the verdict.
Recently, watching $VVV rally all the way up, I feel a bit annoyed, I set a rule last year to make some money, then buy $VVV and wait for the 2B to start selling.
It looks like 2B is almost here, but I don't have a single token.
This project was airdropped to all virtual holders during the Chinese New Year in February 2025.
The logic for buying continuously is that the background is good, there was a fair launch, and resources are decent.
The reason for selling early is mainly because the entry points were bad, the liquidity of @base@ is poor, and after 1011, overall liquidity dried up, plus I felt crypto was hopeless.
And the price kept falling, finally rebounded above cost in January, then started to sell, and never looked back. I initially wanted to lower costs with a swing, but it just kept going up without me getting on.
A key question to ponder is: those who hold during a decline never cut losses, and those who sell early during a rebound can never hold on.
Mainly because of mentality—unable to strictly follow the rules, I found that I can diamond-hold only when "losing badly," and once I sell early, it usually skyrockets.
Another interesting behavior is that once I sell early, I never buy back, always worried the price has no advantage.
After all, in this circle, I really know there's no value, only PvP, and I worry that I might be killed 😭.
The main reason is that I feel I can make some money elsewhere to buy more $VVV , but elsewhere just went to zero 🤣.
This time, I found another one I’ve always wanted to buy and kept buying, and this time I want to hold until the end 😮💨.
✍️Less watching, less doing
Simple and holdable, one is Korea-China semiconductor, and the other is 2x long Hynix, because I don't have much money, I basically don't bother 😂.
Still, I need small funds to bet on odds; big funds should go to bigger places.
In summary, being bold is the most important—dare to chase, dare to hold, dare to gamble.
Hope to win, recently chasing highs has got me stuck, I hope to get out and try again 😭.
Life is long, and the road is long and winding.
