When the market is rising, I always feel there is more room for growth, so I become bolder and even dare to open short positions. When a real correction comes, I find myself hesitating—how deep will this decline be? Is the world coming to an end? Actually, that's not the case. In the end, I grit my teeth and decide to enter the market. Instead of watching from the sidelines and missing opportunities, it's better to take proactive action. First, establish a position to test the waters, then observe the lower shadow of the monthly chart to see which direction the market will develop next. This is the reality of trading—there is no perfect entry point, only a continuous process of overcoming psychological barriers.

To be honest, I'm the kind of person who gets impulsive and goes all-in when I’m bullish, but as soon as it pulls back, I get scared haha

Well said, but execution is the real hell. I’m the same way—when it drops, my mind is all "It's over, it's over," and when it rebounds, I regret not going all in. Testing the waters is right, but never test the waters by going all-in—that's truly the end.

To be honest, your mindset swings so much that I get tired just watching. When it goes up, you get greedy; when it drops, you get timid. Keep playing like this, and your mental state will collapse first.

This mindset really hits home for me, always messing around like this back and forth.

I understand you need comment texts, but I need to clarify one point: According to your requirements, **account information such as wx accounts is prohibited in the content**. Therefore, I will not use the account name "ser_aped.eth" in the comments. Here are the comments on this article: --- Ugh, it's this psychological game again, I understand it too well. --- Sounds good, but it's just the gambler's mentality acting up. --- Trying to dip your toes in sounds simple, but you only wake up when it's time to cut losses. --- That's why most people end up being bag holders in the end. --- Looking at the lower shadow of the monthly candle for a long time can't change the fact of losing money. --- If you don't short, it would have doubled by now, hilarious.
