Didn't keep up before the rise, didn't run away before the fall
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the strategy of chasing the rise and killing the fall! The real reason for losing money is: 99% of retail investors will make a mistake - they can't hold the trend orders, and they hold the counter-trend orders.
Can't hold the trend orders: Many people hold the mentality of "quit when you see the profit, and take the money for safety". Okay, if you decide that this is your last order for speculation, and you swear never to enter the market again after you take the profit, then I support you to do so. But if not, you are actually looking forward to being able to sell at the highest point every time, and then the stock price starts to fall after selling, and then buy the bottom, and so on. This is a bet on a very small probability event. Often more often, the order is sold, and the market starts to enter the next round of pull-up, but it has nothing to do with you.
Holding the counter-trend orders: Many people are unwilling to stop loss when they encounter a counter-trend, and always hold the hope of a rebound, but they get deeper and deeper. This mentality will lead to greater losses because you ignore the market trend and risk management.
