Don't get caught up in self-indulgent emotions.
She's like a junk stock I went all in on at the bottom.
Clearly the trend has broken, with no sign of stopping.
Yet I always cling to hope, fantasizing about a rebound.
So I obsessively study her past, try to read her mind.

I refuse to admit my judgment was wrong.
Inner obsession makes me completely lose reason.

Trading Addiction
Why does trading become addictive? When we hold a heavy position during a trade and eventually make a big profit, our brain releases dopamine, generating excitement and pleasure.
So in order to let our brain experience this feeling again, what actions do we take? The answer is simple: we keep opening positions, keep holding positions, and completely forget all trading plans and market analysis.
This is why human beings are affected by random rewards - excessive excitement.

Slowly, you come to understand what it means that profit and loss come from the same source.

If you harbor the desire to get rich overnight or aim to achieve big with small stakes, you will inevitably develop a gambler's mindset, and the ultimate outcome will be liquidation. Trading is a long-term race in life, not the entirety of it.
If you are fortunate enough to escape the quagmire of losses and achieve a life of trading, you have reached the ultimate state of

Trading will take everything from you: your money, your confidence, your happiness, your sleep.
But one day, as long as you don't give up,
it will give it all back to you.
With interest.
The market first takes away your illusions, then returns everything that matches you.

Only after being in the crypto space for a long time do you realize that what we lack is never the chance to double our money, but the mindset to stay steady when the market is in the red.
When our minds are filled with "I can't lose," we've already lost.
The moment you max out your leverage, you're already on the edge of liquidation.
Everyone knows the logic, but the moment emotions take over, wishful thinking will completely overwhelm reason.
Fast is slow, slow is fast. One day in crypto is ten years in the human world.
Letting yourself off the hook is not weakness; it's so you can stand tal
