The illusion of making money in the investment market is the beginning of retail investors heading towards zero.
The illusion of making money is the "floating profit number on the books."
When the market does not meet your expectations, because you did not take profits at the highs,
thoughts of unwillingness and dissatisfaction arise.
At this moment, it is also the stage where retail investors increase leverage in an attempt to regain floating profits,
the devil in your heart begins to sprout, leverage increases, and the number of stop-losses grows.
Originally, the floating profits from these past few months,
because of your high position increasing holdings and leverage,
begin to turn into floating losses, and you start to question life,
from the investment discipline you originally adhered to, to directly wanting to gamble everything to win it back.
Ultimately, it falls before dawn,
most retail investors in the market can never change their fate of becoming cannon fodder.
