As a retail investor, you neither have trading talent, nor are you sharp enough in mathematics, your courage isn't great, you don't have much capital, and you can't monitor the market 24/7. What do you have to fight against the big players? While you are collecting information everywhere, downloading various apps, analyzing all kinds of news, and struggling to analyze international situations, geopolitical patterns, interpreting Trump's behavioral economics, political economics, and so on...
You aim to maximize your profits, trying to see through the long-term layout of the big players with your barren brain, analyzing and predicting potential highs and lows. You always think about hiding and letting the big players carry you, believing you can see through the fog, going all in just before the market explodes, always dreaming of getting rich overnight.
To be honest, retail investors really don’t need to look that far! Are you guessing whether Bitcoin will reach 150,000 or 200,000? Or are you thinking it will pull back to 110,000 before taking off again?
Is it meaningful? Other than holding your positions and self-motivating, you have nothing!
Stop thinking about eating from the fish head to the tail. Being able to enjoy a bite of the fish body is already impressive.
Retail investors are destined to chase highs and sell lows. Be honest and trade short-term, give up the mentality of getting rich quickly, and abandon high leverage. You will find it much easier.
When you know what not to do, you have already succeeded halfway.
Give up bottom fishing and top picking, go with the trend. The path will become smoother.
Let's encourage each other.
