This blog post is for you.The recent blood bath!
The recent crypto market crash has been pretty tough on a lot of people. The crypto market fell from a capitalization of $2.7 trillion in October to $1 trillion in the recent bloodbath, that is still going on.
The collapse of $18 billion stablecoin terra USD triggered the crash. Three Arrows Capital, a hedge fund suffered multi billion losses. Celsius network, a crypto lender had to freeze its withdrawals to maintain liquidity.
In this crash, everyone from big institutional traders to small individual investors lost something or everything!
Yes it is really difficult to stay positive and think long term in such situation, but this is the time when you have to focus on your goals.
What can you do?
Now, let's talk about what you can do if you're feeling down about your losses.
-Losses are a part of the game First of all, it's important to remember that losses are a part of life. Just like there are ups and downs in the stock market, there will be times when your investments lose value. It's natural to feel down when this happens, but it's important to keep things in perspective. Remember that losses are temporary and that the market will eventually rebound.
-Don`t be ruled by your emotions Second, don't let your emotions guide your investment decisions. It's important to stay calm and rational when the value of your investments suddenly drops. Resist the urge to sell everything and take your losses. This is often a mistake that investors make, as they panic and sell their shares at a low point. It's better to hold on to your investments and wait for the market to rebound.
-Look for the silver lining
Third, use your losses as an opportunity to learn and grow as an investor. Take some time to study what happened and why your investments lost value. This will help you make better investment decisions in the future.
Losses are a part of life, but with the right attitude, you can turn them into something positive!
You are responsible for your actions!
It is very important to accept responsibility for your losses. It's easy to blame the market, or bad luck, or whatever else. But at the end of the day, you're the only one responsible for your investment decisions. So take a deep breath and accept responsibility for your losses.
No this does not mean that you definitely did something wrong. Remember what we discussed above. Losses are a part of this game. The moment you decided to become a trader, you should have known that out of 365 days, there will be some days when you will be on the winning side and some days when you will be on the losing side!
As a trader, you should therefore accept responsibility. Once you get over this phase, you can think more clearly about your future line of action.
Analyze what went wrong!
The most important step is to analyze what went wrong. Why did you lose money?
Was it because you made bad investment decisions? Or was it because of something beyond your control, like the market crash? Once you know the reason for your losses, you can start to make changes to your strategy.
If the reason is beyond your control, like the recent market crash. Then you can take measures to reduce your future losses. You can diversify your portfolio and reduce your risk appetite.
If however you lost money due to bad decision making, then you have some soul searching to do!
Tweak your strategy
If you lost money because of bad investment decisions, then it's simply time to change your strategy. Maybe you need to do more research before making investments. Or maybe you need to take some time to study and learn about the market you are investing into. Whatever the case may be, now is the time to make changes to your strategy. Go back to the drawing board and see whether you just need to tweak your strategy or start afresh.
Improve your skills
Whether you lost money due to a market crash or bad investment decision. There is on denying that a big loss can bring a lot of clarity. Bouncing back is not always easy and sometimes you need to diversify or sharpen your skills to make a good comeback!
Maybe you need to learn more about technical analysis. Or maybe you need to learn more about risk management. Whatever the case may be, now is the time to improve your skills.
Focus!
The final step is to focus on your goals. Remember why you started investing in the first place. What were your goals? Are you still on track to reach them? If not, then it's time to re-evaluate your goals. But don't get discouraged! Just because you haven't reached your goals yet doesn't mean you never will. With a little bit of perseverance, anything is possible!
Remember you are not alone!
If you're feeling lost and don't know where to start, then talk to someone who knows more than you do. This could be a professional investor or financial advisor. Or it could be a friend or family member who is more experienced than you are. Talking to someone who has been through the same thing can be really helpful. They will be able to relate to you and understand what you're going through. And they will be able to give you some valuable advice.
So don't lose hope! With the right attitude, you can turn your losses into something positive!
