After listening to a bunch of talks about trading being a lifelong career, I jumped in, only to find out—being trapped has become the norm. Every time I lose, I add to my position; I add more and lose again. Is this cycle really trading or being "traded"? Looking back now, the so-called learning to trade seems to be just learning how to keep losing money continuously. No one explains those motivational clichés thoroughly—trading is indeed a lifelong pursuit, but what they don't tell you is that your wallet might also shrink with you for a lifetime.

The method of adding positions is good, and losses become more enjoyable.

Adding to your position is really a trap, the more you add, the deeper you go...

The curse of averaging down, once it starts, you really can't stop. The more you buy, the more you lose, and the more you want to buy... This is a bottomless pit.

The vicious cycle of adding positions is truly relentless; the more you lose, the more you want to turn things around, and the deeper you fall.
