Three precise bottom-fishing attempts, but still can't match the luck of some people who profit just by a casual pick. This is the market, after all; no matter how perfect the technical analysis, it can't beat the overall trend.

For now, let's slow down and not plan to add more positions. Once the trend stabilizes, I'll consider the next steps. The current goal is very clear—take profits at 50% and then decisively exit, following the rules.

Many people, like me, entered in two batches. But the key levels often test your mentality the most; if the support is broken, you must exit without hesitation. During such times, there’s no room for luck; the execution of stop-loss determines the life or death of the account.

Buying the dip three times is not as good as others casually buying it, which is ridiculous haha. Luck really can't be calculated. Take profit at 50%, good mindset. But honestly, most people can't do that. I sell as soon as the support level breaks, this time I learned to be smarter. Technical analysis, etc., still depends on the overall trend. Entering in batches is to average out, but the key is to stick to discipline. Wait until it stabilizes before acting, adding positions too aggressively now. Mindset is the hardest part, when it drops below, you have to be ruthless and cut losses. This wave of market really depends more on mindset than technicals. Lack of execution in stop-loss, all the gains are wasted. Set the rules and stick to them, or you'll eventually get liquidated.

Everyone understands this principle, but it's especially painful when it comes to execution. When it comes to luck, technical skills really have to bow and scrape; just lie flat and wait and see. If you can really get 50%, consider yourself lucky; most people are killed by greed. Stop-loss is easy to say but deadly to implement. I've also often fallen here. The biggest fear of staggered entry is buying more as it falls, and once your mentality collapses, everything is in vain.

Bought the dip three times but still got hammered by luck, truly incredible No matter how strong the technicals are, they can't withstand a market turnaround Let's wait and see, I'll just lie low for now Exit at 50%, that's my only rational move Key levels are really too difficult, if my mindset collapses, the account is gone If support breaks, I’ll exit immediately, giving myself no chance of luck

Buying the dip in vain, I still have to accept my fate. The market just loves to play reverse psychology. Sell at 50%, this mindset is still tough, much better than holding on stubbornly. The key point is the dividing line between the chosen ones and the newbies.

Buying the dip three times still lost to luck, this is outrageous A perfect technical setup, so what? It can't beat the overall market trend, it's heartbreaking Let's wait and see, run at 50%, don't be greedy, this is the truth The most difficult part is maintaining the right mindset at key levels. If it breaks support, you must exit. Hesitating means losing money People are like this. Knowing you should cut losses but just can't do it. You know exactly how your account gets wiped out

Buying the dip three times and still getting trapped, this is really outrageous haha Luck is really hard to explain. I also bought in batches, now just waiting for stability before acting again.

Precise bottom-fishing is useless; it still comes down to luck and timing. Wait, is that why I always end up losing money? Sell at 50%, I’ve never stuck to this discipline. As soon as the support level drops, my mentality collapses; stop-losses are just talk. Gradually entering the market sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just jumping into pits repeatedly. In the face of the overall trend, technical analysis really doesn’t matter. I’m not touching anything right now, just waiting. Mentality is truly the biggest enemy.

Buying the dip three times still isn't as lucky as others, that's what I think too haha Honestly, technical analysis is sometimes really useless; in the face of the overall trend, we all have to bow down Set a 50% exit point, that's a good target, much better than many people's greed The key is at the moment of stop-loss, many people can't do it, I used to be the same
