#MyStrategyEvolution – Keep a cool head when the market heats up
In the past, when the market surged, I often got swept up in emotions. Seeing prices rise, I would... 'fomo' into adding more Long positions, thinking that 'this train will go very far'. The result was that I often bought at the peak and paid the price for my lack of discipline.
But after many experiences, my strategy has changed.
When the market heats up, I no longer increase my Long positions. Instead, I start to reduce my positions and take partial profits.
I understand that when money floods in, the market can easily create a peak in excitement. Therefore, managing positions, maintaining discipline, and protecting profits are more important than trying to earn a few more percentage points of profit.
The new strategy helps me:
• Preserve profits when the market suddenly reverses
• Have a steadier mindset, not getting caught in the whirlpool of 'greed'
• Optimize long-term effectiveness, rather than trying to catch every wave
That is how I have matured on my trading journey – from emotional responses to strategic thinking.
And I believe that in investing, knowing when to stop is as important as knowing when to start.
