The Famous False Bottom
A rookie swore the market had bottomed — based solely on a rumor from a trading forum he'd found at midnight. He bought aggressively, doubled down when it dipped further, convinced he was getting a better entry. Then the floor gave way entirely.
He lost heavily. Not just money — confidence, sleep, and two months of savings gone in a week.
The market doesn't care about your feelings. A real bottom isn't something you sense in the atmosphere of a message board. It's a defined condition — signals your strategy has tested and committed to in writing before the trade ever opens.
Feel all you want. But never let a feeling pull the trigger.
Lesson: Never trust a bottom you feel — only the one your strategy defines. The famous false bottom fools the hopeful. The disciplined trader waits for confirmation — and sleeps fine either way.
