      When trading becomes a passion, it's time to step back a little.Lust for money becomes your main goal.You end up trading for the dopamine hit more than trying to make money. Investing should be slightly boring for me . If I get my emotions and feelings involved I tend to not make a good return. I used my Tiger account for my risky dopamine fuelled trades, and yes my Savings account had a better return in the long run. This year I am looking to do smaller, and more boring investments on Tiger Trade. Let's see how that will work. Happy Investing everyone . And yes that's me , in Las Vegas at the Binion Gambling Hall learning about all the deadly sins in investing.

      The Difference Between a Good Trader and a Very Good Trader

      I’ve come to realize over time that in this game, it’s never just about how good you are at spotting opportunities. You can know every chart pattern, every earnings calendar, and all the market-moving news, and still struggle. The real difference between a good trader and a very good trader lies in what happens between your ears — how you handle yourself when the market isn’t making sense, when you’re on a losing streak, or when everything looks too easy to be true. A good trader knows how to find trades. They manage their risk decently, and if they stay consistent, they’ll likely end the year in the green. They’ll make decent returns, follow their plan most of the time, and get by just fine. But a very good trader? They have another level of awareness — both of the market and of themselve

      I was equally guilty of committing all above. Mostly a combination of those sins. ie. a little on fear factor when I had fear to sell off a stock, after being red for too long and afraid of losing money. While the stock has dipped 50% and yet I'm still holding! It is also with the addition of greed that it would fly back up again. I tell myself as long as I don't sell it, it is not a loss. Indeed it is true but I also do not gain when it stays red [Facepalm] Perhaps an additional factor of being ignorant, believing the stock still has "hope". @Jiefund @LWKJKK @LuckyJiajia

      🧠 7 Deadly Investing Sins — And How I've Survived (Mostly)

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Confession time. I've sinned... in the markets. 1. Pride – Held onto losers because “I can't be wrong.” (Looking at you, $CRCL.) 2. Greed – Doubled down on a spike, thinking it'd 5x. It didn't. It halved. 3. Lust – Chased trending tickers because they looked “hot” on Fintwit. Regret followed. 4. Envy – Bought $MSTR near the highs after watching someone else profit. Painful lesson. 5. Gluttony – Overtraded in one day, trying to force the market to feed me. 6. Sloth – Skipped due diligence on $BMNR. “It's pumping, who needs fundamentals?” 7. Wrath – Revenge traded after a loss. Made it worse. 📌 But here's the key: Mistakes are tuition. The goal isn't to be sinless, but to be self-aware and strategic. I've learned to build

      The 8 Deadly Sins and How To Outwit Them All

      🌟🌟🌟Every investor starts with dreams - Financial freedom, portfolio glory and perhaps a nice passive income stream to sip martinis by the beach.  But the markets are ruthless.  They expose every emotional crack, every impulsive click  on your trading app.  That is where the 8 Deadly Sins creep in.  They are the silent killers of wealth, creeping into even the sharpest minds. If you want to build something lasting, not just flashy gains and fiery losses, you will need to recognise the traps and sidestep them like a ninja in a bear market. 1.  Greed - Chasing the Next Big Thing What it looks like - FOMO trades, bubbles, overextended positions. How to beat it - Run toward fundamentals, not headlines.  Every chart needs a reason. 2.  Fear - Selling

      I will start from the back before I forget. I think a lot of people are stuck with it, beginner or otherwise. If there is a 8th sin, then that would be Regret. Stuck in perpetual pain from regretting… of buying or selling. There are lots of “what ifs”, “I shouldn’t have” when we sold too early or when we missed a run. Investing sins… obviously I have them. To err is to be a human [Tongue]. Greed, pride, envy, fear are constant companions of a lifetime investment journey. I don’t reject them, nor do I fear them. I just learn to accept they are part of me. For greed, I have charts as guide, but no upside target. Mere for downside loss cutting. For pride, I share in 🐯 and move on.

      Looking back on my trading journey, I’ve definitely committed a few of these “investing sins.” Greed and impatience hit me hardest—I often held on too long, hoping for more gains, or chased green candles expecting quick profits. Without a clear plan, I ended up losing more than I should have. One trade I regret was jumping into a hyped stock out of envy, just because others were making big gains. I didn’t understand the company at all and ended up stuck for months. That loss taught me to tune out the noise, do proper research, and trust my own judgment. If there were an eighth sin, I’d add overtrading—constantly buying and selling without reason. It burns capital and energy fast. My tip for beginners: stay patient, track your trades, and always know your exit before you enter. Discipline

      Investing Sins 101: How Many Sins Have You Checked Off?

      There are seven deadly sins in human nature: pride, gluttony, lust, envy, sloth, greed, and wrath. Each one corresponds to a common investing mistake, have you fallen for any of them?1. GreedWhen I first started trading stocks, I never set a take-profit point. If the stock rose 1%, I expected a limit-up. If it hit a limit-up, I dreamed of consecutive limit-ups. I even chased stocks at their peak, fully knowing the risks.“Wanting too much is where losses begin.”2. FearAfter experiencing my first major drop, I became like a frightened bird—selling at the slightest pullback, even high-quality stocks.“Being too scared too quickly means you’ll never earn much.”3. EnvyWhether on stock forums or social media, I constantly saw flashy profit screenshots—some real, some fake. People getting rich off

      I definitely have committed greed, especially for my HK stocks which have been volatile. When it climbs, instead of taking profit, I waited longer, hoping to have a bigger profit. This happened to my BYD when it has started to slide with the fears of a price war. I also have committed sloth where I bought tencent at a high in 2021 and it has slide down. I failed to evaluate the price and the risk to benefit. However, I managed to average down and have taken profit. As I still believe in the company, I re-entered a position. I would advise beginners to consider cutting loss if the fundamental of the company is gone. However, if you still think that the company is worthy, then price crashes are good opportunities to average down for a bigger profit later. If there is an 8th sin, I thin
