This wave of market conditions truly tests people. My contract positions are currently empty, but I opened two small options positions to test the waters and found that this market is very real—if losses are inevitable, then I need to learn to accept small losses steadily and maintain a long-term perspective. The day before yesterday, I set a stop-loss at 3075 for a long position opened at 3090; after a 15-point loss, I didn't touch the contract again. Last night, out of boredom, I played with some options again, and upon waking up, I saw I was also in a loss. Is it that going long during this period is inherently doomed? If so, then I should change my approach—use small funds to test the bottom, so even if I lose, it’s only a small loss. Yesterday, I saw some veterans using 8x leverage to add positions and blow up, causing the entire market’s long positions to collapse across the board. The current strategy is still to hold spot positions and stay put, while continuing to use small funds on contracts to feel out the bottom and identify where the support levels are. Before the market stabilizes, greed will only accelerate your exit.
