description: "$Direxion Semicon Bull 3X(SOXL.US) I used to be very firm in going long, thinking every dip was a golden opportunity, until the day Trump said he would wipe out Iranian civilization on April 7th, which also happened to be my first love's birthday, haha. I sold most of my positions. After that, it went up for several days in a row, but I felt the underlying issues weren't resolved. There were no substantial positive catalysts for semiconductors, and the rebound had been significant. Starting from shorting at 66, I only used a little over $20,000 for 400 shares. This time, I chose to short sell. Later, I shorted SanDisk and LITE, made some money, and continued to short sell SOXL between 77-80, bringing my average cost down to the 70s. Just today, I chose to cut my losses and exit. During this period, I got hit for 11 consecutive days and was forced to close positions twice.Trump's sweet talk is indeed impressive; the whole world has to help him make money!"

- **做空等于送钱 · 2026-04-23T14:01:21.000Z**: Don't short it, bro. Look, I've already lost 20% and I only shorted it with 30% of my position, and I can't even hold on.
- **新用户_QFr · 2026-04-23T06:51:40.000Z**: Same thinking as you, no substantial good news but it went crazy📈, opened a short position. Ended up being the big fool.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-23T06:57:18.000Z): They don't know how to cut losses in time.
- **韭菜盒子王 · 2026-04-23T00:07:48.000Z**: The entry and exit points are the same as mine, got stopped out twice.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-23T00:43:58.000Z): Lost 50% this month
  - **TD2008** (2026-04-23T01:28:15.000Z): Did you buy on margin?
- **冷静沉着 · 2026-04-23T00:07:08.000Z**: If you're going to do it, just stick to one direction. I saw you were trying to play both sides before, and you held onto SanDisk, which also went up yesterday.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-23T00:48:14.000Z): When I was doing well before, I made money on both SOXS and SOXL, adding up to nearly $50k, and it was exactly this performance that made me lose the profits and even $80k of my principal.
  - **冷静沉着** (2026-04-23T00:50:51.000Z): I used to be quite averse to making money in the early stages, as once your mindset becomes rigid, you'll suffer a big setback.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-23T00:52:42.000Z): That's the case, and it's also because Trump is too erratic when he comes on, hard to control and likes to stubbornly hold on.
- **椒盐鼠鼠 · 2026-04-22T23:03:45.000Z**: Is this done manually, or, is it a grid?
