Market fluctuations are normal—ups and downs are part of the market cycle. But many people start to lose their rationality during a continuous upward trend, blindly adding positions and only looking for gains, which often results in emptying their pockets. A two or three-day correction can wipe out previous unrealized profits, or even cause them to lose all their earlier gains. This situation is actually quite common; most people just don't want to admit it.



Where is the real problem? It’s that they haven't learned to manage risk with position sizing. They only know how to keep adding to their positions, but don’t know when to take profits or reduce their holdings. Doing so in the end often means helping others set traps, resulting in heavy losses.

The key point now is whether the Shanghai Composite Index can hold the 1945 support level. This level is very important—if it holds, then you can gradually plan your layout; if it breaks convincingly, then wait a bit longer for clearer signals tomorrow. The basic logic of trading is really that simple.

No matter how the market adjusts, I’m not afraid—on the contrary, I think this kind of correction is a rare opportunity. Stay calm, and your hands won’t get shaky.

That's so true. I'm the kind of fool who still wants to add to my position even after being trapped. Mindset is really the hardest part. Watching the limit down, I still think about bottom fishing, but the more I do it, the deeper I go. If 1945 can't hold, then just honestly watch it. Anyway, I don't have many chips left. Speaking of which, who the hell can truly maintain a steady mindset? Probably all talk. The most healing moment for adding to a position is the second you see your account turn red, then it turns back to green.

Bro, you're not wrong, but most people can't do it, including myself. This wave at 1945 points really needs to hold, or else you'll get caught again. Adding positions is the easiest to get carried away with, really, one limit-up and you start to float. Mindset is something that's easy to talk about but also hard to do; it all depends on whether you can withstand the pullback without cutting losses. It's really just greed, wanting to eat the last piece of meat before you're satisfied. Position management, to put it simply, is about leaving yourself a way out, but many people just love to go all-in. Actually, a pullback should be welcomed; it's a chance to bottom fish, it all depends on whether you're willing to take the risk. This round of the market doesn't seem that simple; 1945 really needs to hold, if it doesn't, it's game over.

That's right, the key is attitude and position management. Many people get wiped out because of greed. Just looking at the bullish trend is useless; you need to know when to take profits, otherwise it's just a waste of effort. Whether 1945 can hold in the next couple of days is crucial, it feels like the market is searching for a bottom. Mindless adding to positions is playing with fire. I've seen too many people crash and burn doing that. Is the market correction actually a buying opportunity? Your mindset is indeed good, most people can't do that. Hey, it's that same theory of position management again. I've heard it countless times, but I just can't follow through. When the mindset collapses, hands get shaky. That's true, but when it happens, there's nothing anyone can do. Hold the support and set up positions; if it breaks, wait for a signal. Clear logic, key is execution. Many people actually understand, but greed and overconfidence are the real culprits. Opportunity? Ha, those who got cut earlier are now the ones cutting themselves.

That's right, mindset is really the most important thing. Adding positions is easy, reducing positions is hard. Most people get stuck here. If 1945 can't hold, then we need to look at the signals again. Don't rush to bottom fish. Pullbacks are actually a blessing; it depends on how you use them.

That's right, but the hardest part is the mindset. When it's going up, everyone can hold on, but as soon as it pulls back, panic sets in immediately.
