Have you ever had an experience like this: you just bought cryptocurrency, and its price quickly plummets, only for it to unexpectedly start rising after you painfully sell at a loss?
This phenomenon may not be uncommon, making one feel as though the market is always working against them, even creating the illusion that they can predict the market in reverse. However, attempting to counteract this—selling when you want to buy and buying when you want to sell—often still leads to losses.
In reality, this is not a targeted attack by market makers against individuals, but rather an inevitable result of market trading. In the price chart, every price point has trades occurring; there will always be someone who buys at a high point and someone who sells at a low point at some time.
People often have vivid memories of their own misfortunes, like experiences of buying at peaks or selling at troughs, which are hard to forget. But if we were to truly count, perhaps among many trades, such misfortunes are just the minority. However, these few unfortunate experiences leave a deep impression, causing people to overlook other normal trading situations.
Therefore, it is particularly important to introduce quantitative thinking into the investment field. By analyzing historical data, we can understand how many times we might have suffered losses if we traded under the same logic in the past. This helps us break free from some incorrect perceptions, such as the belief that market makers are specifically targeting individuals, when in reality, we are just overly haunted by those unfortunate experiences.
Of course, historical data cannot fully predict the future, but at least it can help us view trading more rationally, no longer influenced by those occasional negative experiences.
