Every time I buy, it drops? You're not unlucky, you're being controlled by your emotions
Have you ever had this experience? You stare at a coin for a long time, hesitate again and again, and finally buy in, only to see it drop immediately, or even crash right after you buy. You start to doubt whether you have an “unlucky constitution,” even feeling like the market is targeting you.
But the truth is—you’re not unlucky; you’re being controlled by your emotions.
Most people's so-called “determination” is actually an eruption point of emotional accumulation: when the market has been rising for a while and emotions build up to the point of being unbearable, people rush in at the most FOMO moment. And the market will always start to correct at the moment people are most excited. This isn’t targeting you; it’s just the law of market operation.
Smart money buys in fear, while emotional money rushes in during excitement.
If you experience “every time I buy it drops,” it’s likely that you haven’t established a rational entry mechanism and are making decisions under the pressure of “fear of missing out.” In this state, you’re not truly trading; you’re avoiding your anxiety.
There’s only one solution: develop a calm, quantitative buying logic, and restrain emotional impulses.
Otherwise, you are not investing; you are spending money to buy “lessons.”
Always remember, the market never cares how anxious you are; it only rewards rationality and patience.
