Actually, whether the price is going up or down, it's not scary. The most frightening thing is to panic first—either rushing to sell at the lowest point or stubbornly holding on, ending up sinking deeper and deeper. Ultimately, it's all about being led by emotions rather than calmly thinking about what to do.

When you find yourself going against the market trend, that's just the right opportunity to examine your thinking and response capabilities. The key is not panic, but whether you have a clear plan and method to stay calm and avoid reckless actions.

Don't always think about immediately recovering the losses. First, clarify the big picture: is the market oscillating back and forth, or is it trending down or up steadily? Different situations require very different responses; you can't just apply the same old methods blindly.

Don't be greedy expecting to turn things around in one shot. Learn to take it step by step: first, control your losses within a manageable range, then gradually recover your costs through several small trades. Steady and cautious is the long-term way. The market won't always be one-sided, nor will it always swing back and forth; ups and downs are normal. If your holdings are temporarily stuck, don't lose your rhythm—analyze calmly, follow your plan, and recovering losses is just a matter of time.

Those who can truly go far in the market are not those who have never encountered a price decline, but those who can stay calm and turn passive into active even when faced with downturns.
