#Gate广场新手村第八期

I deeply resonate with @ybaser's sharing, that sentence "The market can be scary, but staying calm and composed is the strongest counterattack" really hits home.

I still remember the first time I bought BTC in 2021. I rushed to sell it after a 10% increase, only to watch it continue to double. That feeling of regret for "selling too early" became my first tuition fee. After that, I experienced a bear market, with my account shrinking by 40%, especially when Bitcoin plummeted to $59,000, and the market panic index soared to its peak. But comparing it to the support line I drew, I found that the weekly trend had not broken. While others panicked and sold at a loss, I actually bought in batches. When the price made a V-shaped rebound, I realized: the real strategy is not to predict the peak, but to hold onto your anchor during the storm; trading is not about predictions, but about emotional control.

Now my strategy has become simple yet effective:
✅Only invest spare money, a stable mindset leads to clear decision-making.
✅Core position held long-term, a small portion of funds for swing trading.
✅Set strict take profit and stop loss, refuse emotional trading.
✅Handwrite emotional records during weekly Sunday reviews and constantly remind myself.

Recently, I tried to combine grid trading and dollar-cost averaging to automatically buy low and sell high in a volatile market, and I can finally sleep peacefully. In fact, there is no surefire secret, but rather choosing to do "what needs to be done" instead of "what I want to do" every time I break through my psychological barriers.

The market will always fluctuate, but mature traders can remain calm amid the storm. Thanks to the Gate Family for accompanying me, allowing me to grow from a Newbie who chases highs and sells lows into a "Buddhist" player who can face ups and downs calmly.

Looking forward to seeing your stories in the comments! Let's level up and defeat monsters together on the trading journey~
