What to do if you're trapped? Don't panic, here are four tips to get out!

Tip 1: Cut Losses;
When you realize you bought at a high point and the market trend is rapidly deteriorating, you must have the resolve of a warrior to cut losses decisively, abandon the ship to save the captain. As long as the market is still there, there’s always a chance to turn things around.

Tip 2: Hedging;
If you're deeply trapped, unable to cut losses, and the market is still in a downward(upward) trend, you can open a position in the opposite direction. Wait until the price drops(rises) to a lower(higher) level, then look for the right moment or news triggers to sell the profitable side and wait patiently for a recovery. (However, this method should only be used as a last resort)

Tip 3: T+0 Trading During Market Hours;
Suitable for volatile markets, this approach involves short-term trading around your holdings, selling high and buying low, to reduce costs through quick gains. (This method requires you to have enough time to monitor the market and solid trading skills; otherwise, don’t try it lightly)

Tip 4: Add to Your Position:
Suitable for the late stage of a trend, when the index is oscillating at low levels or consolidating. (The scale of adding should be within your capacity)

The core of adding to your position is: only operate after confirming the bottom. Never rush to recover losses blindly by adding more, or it will become a tactic that adds fuel to the fire, making the trap deeper!
