#Green_lamp Why is a correction not the end of the world, but a test of nerves?
Let's start with the main thing: most people want the market to 'correct itself' in one day. One candle up – and that’s it, you can breathe easy. Well, here’s the news for you: the market doesn’t work the way you dream.
1️⃣ The market is not a fairy tale
If you think everything should be simple – buy, sell, a million in your pocket – welcome to reality. Here, profit comes at a cost. And no, I’m not talking about exchange commissions, but about your patience, discipline, and steel nerves. Without this, you're just food for the whales.
2️⃣ The cost of a mistake – this is your education
Are you afraid of the bear market? Let’s be honest: yes, it sounds scary. But a bear market isn’t a catastrophe that falls on your head with one candle. For it to form, the chart needs at least three months. That’s three months to understand where you went wrong and not rush to sell in a panic.
My personal experience – on a silver platter 🥴
There were times I panicked too: 'Right now everything is going to fall, I’ll be left with nothing!' But guess what? While I was oscillating between panic and FOMO, the market was living its own life. The result? I learned to wait. Yes, sometimes grinding my teeth.
A bear market is accompanied by pullbacks – this is your chance to breathe and think about what to do next. Don't jump into the abyss with your eyes closed.
What to do if you are in a panic?
1️⃣ Calm down. Yes, right now. Make some tea, take a shower, play some music.
2️⃣ Don't press the buttons. Your emotions are the worst advisor.
3️⃣ Remember: the market is a long-distance game. If you want instant results, it’s better to buy a lottery ticket.
Correction – your teacher
Every candle down is a lesson. Endure, learn, be flexible. The market doesn’t forgive fuss, but rewards those who can wait.
But if you still want to panic – imagine you are standing at the edge of a cliff holding onto a branch. What’s easier: waiting for help or jumping into the abyss?
