2025.2.25 Funds: 2110U
Failure Cliff
Once again, I came to the edge of the cliff. The unilateral market in the currency circle is like a hidden trap that easily traps people. Every time I feel that I can seize the opportunity, I am always swallowed by the risk at the last moment. Facing failure again, I realized that this is not the first time, and perhaps it will not be the last time. Every fall is a test of my mentality.
"Failure is not terrible, what is important is whether you can stand up from failure." This is a sentence Nietzsche once said, and I always seem to fall in the same place, and it is difficult to cross that psychological hurdle. Every reflection makes me understand that simple persistence does not mean success. The real wisdom is to learn to summarize and adjust strategies when facing failure.
What makes me feel more helpless is that although my strategy in the early days was to make profits in repeated shocks, the market did not give me too many opportunities. There was no slightly strong rebound, but more continuous downward movement, as if the market was waiting for the arrival of losers. I underestimated the irrationality of the market.
In the currency circle, the most frightening thing is the unilateral market. The violent fluctuations in the market often make it difficult for people to see the way forward. In the bull market, everyone feels that they are winners, but once they enter the bear market, many people are powerless to turn the tide. After all, "all good things must come to an end", and the plunge after the surge often comes more unexpectedly.
I used to believe that patiently waiting for a rebound is a stable way to make profits, but reality keeps reminding me: the market can never be predicted, and fate often does not give you too many opportunities. In such a rapidly changing market, calmness and wisdom are the only reliance.
Although the funds have been reduced to 2100U, I still believe that everything is not over yet. Every failure is a rare experience accumulation. After this wave of plunge, I must re-examine my strategy and adjust my mentality. As Jobs said: "Remembering that you are about to die is also the best tool I know to make the most important decisions."
This is not just a record of a loss, it reminds me: in the storm, only by changing myself can I find opportunities in the next fluctuation.
