How many of them do you have? Are you an old leek or a new leek?
In the cryptocurrency market, "leek" behavior usually refers to the mistakes that novice or inexperienced investors are prone to make in market fluctuations, which often lead to losses. The following are some typical "leek" behaviors:
1. Buy when the price goes up and sell when the price goes down. The investors usually rush in when the price goes up, fearing that they will miss the opportunity. When the price goes down, they sell in a panic, resulting in losses. They lack long-term investment plans and make decisions based on market sentiment alone.
2. Frequent currency exchange. Often switching between different currencies quickly, hoping to catch the "next dark horse". This behavior is likely to miss out on gains and lead to fees and slippage losses due to high-frequency trading.
3. Heavy investment in a single currency. Some investors invest a large amount of money in a single currency without diversifying the risk. Once the currency falls, it may lead to huge losses.
4. Superstitious about "insider information" or "expert" advice. Leeks tend to believe in various "inside information" or recommendations from some "experts" on social media, which may not be accurate or even contain hype.
5. No stop loss and take profit. The leeks often ignore stop loss and take profit, resulting in uncontrollable losses when the market fluctuates violently. Lack of a clear exit strategy ultimately leads to being swayed by market sentiment.
6. Frequent leverage. In pursuit of high returns, investors often use high leverage, but due to excessive volatility, once the market moves in the opposite direction, they may face the risk of liquidation and double their losses.
7. Investing based on "FOMO" emotions without doing research. Lack of basic understanding of the project, just follow the trend to buy because of fear of missing out (Fear of Missing Out), it is easy to enter the market when the market is overheated, resulting in being trapped at the high point.
8. Obsession with short-term trading. Leeks may frequently engage in short-term trading, trying to profit from every small fluctuation, but due to lack of sufficient experience, they often make mistakes in entry and exit, and accumulate losses.
9. Overconfidence. After making a few small profits, investors often lack respect for the market and think they have a good grasp of the market rules. They then increase their investment and eventually suffer heavy losses due to misjudgment.
10. No review and lack of summary. Many investors do not review their losses and do not analyze the reasons for their failures, which leads to repeated mistakes in subsequent transactions and they are unable to improve their investment level.
These "leek" behaviors will not only lead to personal investment losses, but also often become the target of market makers. Therefore, if you want to avoid becoming a leek, you need to invest rationally, formulate strategies, and continue to learn and summarize experience.
