Here's something I picked up the hard way: avoid diving into fresh positions when the year's winding down. Works better to reset in January with a clear head.

Keep some solid trade setups in your back pocket—just don't let the market steal your whole year. Balance matters. Spend quality time with people you care about. When you come back in the new year, you'll trade sharper.

Here we go again, the end-of-year sober entry theory. It was the same way last year at this time; as a result, in January, a sudden crash at the opening wiped out the waiting area's retail investors, which is quite ironic.

Year-end FOMO really harms people. I was caught in it myself. Wait until the New Year to calm down before taking action; it's definitely much more reassuring.

Year-end FOMO really is a trading killer. That's right, staying calm and waiting until January can actually help you see the situation more clearly.

This wave of market activity at the end of the year indeed easily triggers emotional trading. As leverage increases, the risk of liquidation rises instantly. I almost suffered this loss at the end of last year, only realizing it when the collateralization ratio dropped to 12.8%. By January, after adjusting my mindset, I was able to seize better opportunities.

What should I rush for at the end of the year... I always fall into this trap, and by January I really become more aware.

That's right, the FOMO at the end of the year can really lead to trouble. I also learned the hard way that impulsive trades rarely make money. It's better to put down the phone, get some rest, and come back in January when your mind is clear— the difference in results is night and day.

Oh my, this end-of-year wave really makes people dizzy. I was rushing to buy the dip earlier and got stuck until now... Hearing you say that, I guess I still need to stay calm.

This kind of mindset at the end of the year is really the easiest to mess up. Impulsively building a position and then going back to square one, haha.

ngl the year-end fomo narrative hits different when you're actually down bad... but yeah the sentiment shift from december chaos to january clarity? *chef's kiss* that's the behavioral arc we never talk about enough
