#数字资产动态追踪 Why does holding a position for a longer time make you feel less at ease?



When you first buy in, you feel confident and your logic is clear. But after a week or a month, even if the market hasn't moved, your mindset starts to waver. Sometimes, what are just normal fluctuations feel like a market crash in your mind.

Honestly, what troubles you is usually not the real market risk, but the imagined one.

**Why is this happening? There are probably three reasons:**

First, the longer the time, the deeper the self-doubt. No matter how clear your initial buying logic was, holding on makes you start questioning, "Did I get this wrong?" This repeated self-denial is the direct cause of later "unable to hold onto profits or stubbornly endure losses."

Second, there is no clear exit strategy. Many people think carefully when they buy, but when it comes to "when should I sell," they are completely vague. Without a plan, you're just being led by the market, which explains why you get anxious.

Third, when the market is calm, you are most likely to get confused. No visible waves, but anxiety is brewing. At this point, what you need most is to execute your predetermined plan, not make impulsive decisions based on feelings.

**Holding a position is essentially a form of discipline.**

Market rules haven't changed, volatility hasn't changed, only your understanding of it has. Stay steady, act strictly according to your plan, and you'll be able to navigate the ups and downs of the market clearly.

Do your homework, set your rules, buy when it's right, sell when it's right. The difference between winners and rookies often lies in this resolve.

Isn't this just talking about me... I was confident when I bought, and now I daydream about the crash scenario every day. Truly impressive.

Haha, really, it's just the mind playing tricks. Nothing's wrong, but I scare myself anyway. That's why I initially wrote a fixed exit plan; otherwise, it's easy to break down due to self-inflicted stress. If the entry and exit criteria are unclear, it's equivalent to having no plan—it's just gambling.

哎呀,这不就是在说我吗,一周前还信誓旦旦呢 --- 破防了,为什么我一拿就开始自我否定,真的绝了 --- 说得没错,就是没出场计划,被盘面牵着鼻子走得贼难受 --- 修行?兄弟这哪是修行,这纯属修罪啊 --- 最恐怖的就是盘面没动反而更慌,这种感觉太操蛋了 --- 定力这东西,说起来容易做起来真的绝望 --- 我就想知道怎么才能不脑补行情崩盘,有谁成功过吗 --- 按计划走的话我还在这儿吗,早就躺平了 --- 三个原因戳到痛点了,特别是自我怀疑那条,太真实 --- 盘面平静时最容易乱,我他妈就是这样被套进去的

Haha, it's so true—like acting in your own mind, clearly nothing's wrong, but you scare yourself into illness anyway.

Oh wow, you're so right. That's exactly how I was driven crazy by my own mind.

Haha, it's the same old story. I keep watching the market every day and going bald because I don't have a clear exit strategy.

That's so true. That's exactly how I am. I was full of confidence when I first bought in, and now I watch K-line charts every day until my eyes are blurred.

Isn't this just me... Every time I think I've seen through the technicals, I end up looking at MACD death crosses and head and shoulders patterns, and end up scaring myself with danger signals.

You're absolutely right. Holding a position without a take-profit or stop-loss plan is like gambling. No wonder you're getting more and more anxious.
