My first time buying US stocks, even 0.01 shares can't escape the "leek law"

#My Gate trading moments

On the evening of June 8th, watching AAPL and NVDA pull back, I thought: "Here's the chance to bottom fish!"
So I bought 0.01 shares each, at a cost price of 312.66 and 225.67.

A few days later, I checked:

· AAPL dropped to 289.1
· NVDA dropped to 206.17

Unrealized loss of 0.42 USDT. The amount isn't much, but that familiar feeling of "buying and immediately falling," just like trading crypto back in the day. 😂

A few real feelings:

1️⃣ US stocks don’t have 100x leverage, but dull knives cut deeper, making you more anxious every day as you see a little green or red.
2️⃣ The "bottom" you think you’ve found often has a basement underneath.
3️⃣ Whether stocks or crypto, the cost of FOMO is the same — just the amounts differ.

Two lessons learned from this small loss:

· Don’t place orders based on "feelings," at least glance at the moving averages.
· Think about stop-loss levels before entering, don’t fall in love with the market.

A loss of $0.42, with these two principles, I don’t feel like I lost.
