Last year, I was still repeatedly adding positions and frequently investing to chase hot trends. This year, I gradually adjusted my pace, started to withdraw profits steadily, and secured gains.

I realized that certain factors are indeed taking effect—sticking to the strategy, controlling risks, and regularly taking profits. These seemingly simple rules are the biggest tests of mindset in actual operation.

Looking back at my fund management process, although it's not perfect yet, being able to shift from greedy, frequent operations to a rhythmic, periodic profit-taking approach is an improvement in itself. Continuing along this path, persistence is the strongest card.

Frequent chasing of hot topics is really a common problem among retail investors, and this guy's summary is quite clear-headed. To put it simply, it's a mindset issue. Seeing others make money makes you want to follow suit, but frequent trading often results in losses. From a trading frenzy to steady withdrawals, this transformation is truly commendable. Mindset is the biggest enemy, a hundred times harder to change than technical skills. Regularly taking profits to secure gains is the most practical approach; persistence is more important than anything else.

Last year, I was chasing hot topics like crazy. Now I finally have some rationality; discipline is still the key.

Damn, this is the real enlightenment. I was the same last year, chasing hot topics until my mindset exploded. The toughest part is maintaining the right mindset; it's easy to say but hard to do. Persistence is the real skill. From greed to rhythm, it sounds simple but this shift is valuable. Honestly, being able to consciously take profits is already beyond most people. Executing the strategy properly is more important than anything else. This realization came a bit late, but it's not too late.

Last year's hot-tracking strategy was truly a painful lesson. Only after adjusting this year did I realize that securing profits is the real key. Mindset is something that, when broken down, isn't worth much; it all depends on whether you can truly execute. Most people lose because of this. Regular profit-taking sounds simple, but the real test is resisting the temptation to be greedy again.

Haha, it should have been like this a long time ago. Last year's trend-chasing days were really crazy. The promised mental test, but one slip-up and it was over. Now, withdrawing steadily feels much more comfortable. Indeed, being able to resist frequent operations is already winning most of the battle. Persistence is not just talk. I was the same last year. Now I finally have a grasp of some tricks. Keep going. The moment of withdrawal is the real profit. No matter how much the account balance increases, it's all meaningless.

Haha, this is true enlightenment. Last year's chasing gains and selling losses was really a lesson learned through blood and tears. Securing profits is the real key; in essence, mindset is just a battle between greed and fear. Sense of rhythm is very important. Earning quickly doesn't necessarily mean earning more.
