After ten years of experiencing market cycles

I conclude that: Those who can control their emotions find the market to be an ATM

1. Position management is the cornerstone of emotional stability. Your emotional fluctuations are directly related to the size of your positions. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose entirely. Stick to the 'sleep test': if your positions cause you anxiety and insomnia, immediately reduce your holdings to a level that allows you to sleep peacefully. Completely eliminate 'All-In' and excessive leverage; this is not investing but gambling, and a single failure can lead to total exit. Surviving is the key to having a future.

2. Become a ruthless trade executor. Formulate detailed plans during calm market conditions (entry reasons, target prices, stop-loss points, position sizes) and strictly execute them when the market fluctuates. Over 90% of on-the-fly decisions during trading are driven by FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) or FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), which are often fatal mistakes. Pre-set stop-loss orders are your best friends; they mechanically cut losses and perform the most counterintuitive actions for you.

3. Actively distance yourself from market noise. There is no need to watch candlestick movements 24/7. The micro fluctuations in price are noise designed to harvest emotions, and frequent monitoring can lead to overtrading. After setting price alerts, decisively step away from the market. Most profits come from patiently holding in bull markets and patiently waiting in bear markets, not from frequent trading. Reducing trading frequency is key to minimizing errors.

4. Respect the market when profitable, and stop retaliating when losing. The most dangerous time is after consecutive profits; it can breed arrogance and neglect of risk, leading to eventual defeat. Always maintain respect for the market. After a loss, avoid developing a 'revenge mentality'; trading out of anger or fear is the fastest path to bankruptcy. Accept losses, calmly review your trades, and wait for the next opportunity that truly belongs to you.

5. Silence is golden; guard your inner peace. Never discuss your positions and profits/losses with others. Others' envy, doubts, or ridicule can severely interfere with your independent judgment, forcing you to make irrational moves to prove yourself. Trading is a solitary practice; your only opponent is yourself. The greatest growth comes from inner peace and self-reflection.

Ultimate Iron Rule: The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is the surviving capital and a calm mind.

In the past, I stumbled in the dark alone; now I have the light in my hands.
