Eat meat or stand guard? The first "Profit and Loss Self-Assessment" of the Year of the Horse

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, some enjoy hotpot paired with K-line charts, while others visit relatives and end up getting liquidated. The biggest characteristic of market behavior during the holiday can be summed up in one sentence: You’re toasting others, and they’re toasting your positions. Some have pre-positioned in mainstream coins, and during the holiday, a surge directly achieves “New Year’s money freedom”; others stay relaxed and watch the market rise, typing in groups: “Hold steady, I won’t chase.”

In fact, the purpose of review isn’t about “how much you made,” but whether you earned through judgment or luck. During the holiday, market liquidity is relatively thin, and sentiment dominates more strongly, often causing small funds to trigger large fluctuations. Those who profit mostly did so by early planning, not by impulsive moves. Friends who stay on the sidelines shouldn’t be discouraged—no loss is a win, and the market must stay alive for the next round.

The first wave of good news in the Year of the Horse doesn’t necessarily mean prices will skyrocket, but that you start to have discipline. For example: not fully deploying funds during the holiday, not over-leveraging contracts, and not being swayed by group messages. These may sound ordinary, but they are worth a thousand gold when practiced. True “financial luck” is often hidden in those buttons you resist pressing.

So, sharing gains is less meaningful than sharing methods. If you made money, analyze your logic; if not, analyze your rhythm. Turn your holiday market report into a work strategy manual—that’s the real way to start the year off right.
