Holding good assets but being tortured by long-term sideways movement, want to sell to get psychological relief? Then you need to understand that selling at this point doesn't really count as a trading decision; at best, it's spending money on psychological therapy. To put it bluntly, it's using a "cutting losses" approach to relieve inner pressure, and this "emotional tax" is ridiculously expensive.



Look at it from a different perspective. Since the asset has already fallen to this extent, from the standpoint of principal safety, isn't now the lowest risk period? If that's correct, then why are you still running?

Of course, some will say they want to chase the hottest market segments, aiming for quick wealth. Fine, go chase them, and if you make money, I’ll be happy for you. But here’s the problem—the bull and bear cycles are conserved. The longer the sideways period and the weaker the price, the more it indicates that the bear market progress bar is being gradually eaten away. Every day of torment is actually pushing you closer to the start of a bull market.

You’ve already taken 99 steps in the dark, and just one step away from dawn, but because of fear of the dark, you throw away your tickets? This is not just about losing money; the logic itself doesn’t hold up.

I am now fully invested, comparing myself to—an empress dowager paired with Luzhou Laojiao. I really want to see when this wave of volatility will bottom out, and I also want to see how dazzling the rainbow of the bull market can be.

Selling is paying a psychological tax, this statement is really sharp. It's ridiculous to still want to run after 99 steps. --- Going all-in and fighting to the death, either get rich quickly or go bankrupt, it's that simple. --- The hardest part of sideways trading is being easily emotionally hijacked. Looking at your logic, you still seem clear-headed. --- The combination of a mistress and Luzhou Laojiao is quite interesting. I'm waiting to see how you make money. --- The problem is that most people don't have the psychological resilience to endure a full cycle. Your mindset is truly rare. --- Even at the lowest risk point, you're still hesitating whether to run or not. This is the difference between retail investors and big players. --- I'm also betting on this step. Who can endure the darkness before dawn? But since we're here, we have to see it through to the end.

You are exactly right. I am that 99-step person, now I am struggling to death. --- Consolidation is just a shakeout, really. If you endure it, you are a winner. --- The mistress pairing with Luzhou Laojiao is perfect. I must copy this combo. --- I should have advised myself like this earlier, to avoid smashing my phone every time I see the K-line. --- I understand your logic, but I still don't have the courage to go all-in, really. --- The easiest time to collapse is one step before dawn. That's psychology. --- I'll just ask one question: what if it drops another 50%? --- Where does the confidence to be fully invested come from? Tell me. --- This is what it means to be a trader's mindset. I don't even have the mindset of a rookie.

The story of 99 steps sounds good, but I'm worried that the "1 step" will never be reached.

Someone who has taken 99 solid steps must hold on until dawn, or all the suffering beforehand will be in vain.

That's right, cutting losses is just paying an IQ tax. I think so too, hang in there. Range-bound trading is just torture; this is exactly the time to test your mentality. You've already lost this much, why run? Where else can you go? Haha, I'm also holding a full position waiting for the rainbow, staying with you guys. If you give up after 99 steps, it really becomes a joke. This "emotional tax" is too expensive; you'll regret it the moment you cut losses. Good assets should be held onto; don't let the market ruin your mentality. Hold on one more day in the darkness, and you'll be closer to dawn. The principle is that simple.
