In a bearish market, I threw in $20,000 and got a harsh reality check. I went all-in and bet everything, but this wave of the market didn't follow the script at all. Now I can only stare blankly at the account, reflecting on where exactly my strategy went wrong. Bear market trading really isn't that easy.

Ha, so this is the legendary "reverse indicator," the more certain, the more you lose. --- Going all-in is truly a deadly move; if you bet right, you eat meat, if you bet wrong, you go bankrupt. --- Twenty thousand dollars is just tuition; at least you're not using full leverage. --- This wave is because you didn't respect the market; the market never follows your script. --- My advice? Next time, don't be bearish, just go long, and you might survive a little longer. --- Honestly, going all-in in a bear market is just gambling with God's temper. --- My account went blank, and I was stunned, but that's trading.

Going all-in and betting everything is indeed a gambler's mentality; the market never follows your script.

Investing $20,000 only to get smashed in return, haha, this is who we are --- Going all-in in one shot like this? I’ve always said, don’t be greedy in a bear market --- The market rises when everyone is bearish, it loves to play us like that --- The feeling of staring at the screen with wide eyes, it honestly hurts a little --- Wanting to follow the script, but the market writes a different story --- That’s why I’ve decided to only be bearish and not trade anymore --- Going all-in in a bear market is really a mystery --- Realizing what risk management is only after getting slapped in the face

Playing with a full position of $20,000 in a heartbeat, the market suddenly reversed, and now I've paid the tuition fee.

20,000 dollars gone just like that, going all-in against the trend is really crazy

Bro, twenty thousand dollars... That's the price of going all-in against the trend, really. Going all-in is inherently a gambler's game; when the market turns, you're done for. No one can guarantee victory in a bear market, don't overthink it. This was purely a mindset issue on your part, with no risk management awareness. Learn your lesson next time, don't go all-in again, brother.

A bear market really just means giving away money when you're not thinking clearly; going all-in is an outrageous move.
