XMR has been bottoming out since March, and in just two days, it has completely burned back to the starting point. The short position was entered at 445, closed at 648, with a difference of 200 points in between. Just as it was about to surge, it suddenly jumped 50%. The account with a floating profit of over 40,000 USDT was forcibly turned into a floating loss, and at that moment, I really felt a bit overwhelmed.

After this round of operations, I realized that trading contracts tests not only technical analysis but also more often your mindset. Watching the account figures fluctuate up and down, the psychological pressure swings are more intense than the profit fluctuations. After repeatedly messing around, I found that playing spot trading more comfortably. At least I don’t have to watch the K-line heartbeat in real-time or lose everything because of a momentary fluctuation.

Oh wow, that's the magic of contracts. The account balance jumps are more exciting than the fluctuations in my mood. Me too, holding onto spot trading until the end, I can finally sleep peacefully.

This is the magic of the contract. The account went from over 40,000 directly to a negative number, and that feeling is truly unparalleled. To be honest, from 445 to 648, it's time to exit. Greed is the most deadly trait. Spot trading is the real king. Sleep quality directly improves by several levels.

Oh no, trading contracts is really a battle of mentality, brother. --- Over 40,000 just evaporated, I was so defensive for a long time. --- Honestly, it's still greed that caused the trouble. 648 should have run, but I waited for the explosion. --- Spot trading is really fragrant; sleep quality directly skyrocketed. --- I can empathize; I used to crash like this too. --- A profit of 200 points turned into a loss, this move was incredible. --- The key is that feeling of watching the increase eat away at your profit, it can really drive people crazy. --- Contracts are a game of human greed; most people lose to themselves. --- From 445 short to 648, a good position, but unfortunately didn't hold. --- Lying and winning with spot trading is the right way; stop messing around with contracts.

Damn, this is a contract. Making 40,000 feels like playing, and it's gone in the blink of an eye. It's really about mindset; it can be quite tormenting. It seems I still need to recognize my own limits and not always think about getting rich quick in the short term.

Contracts are really the devil; even when the technical aspects are fine, the mindset can ruin everything. That's why I gave up trading long ago—spot trading is much better. A 200-point profit just slips away right before your eyes, and that feeling is truly unbearable. People need to recognize their own limits; not everyone can survive and come out of contracts alive.

Contracts are really a mindset killer; over forty thousand in unrealized gains disappeared in an instant. I understand this feeling. Spot trading is just more enjoyable, no need to be a slave to watching the charts. I should have realized it earlier: Bitcoin's volatility can sometimes be more terrifying than technical analysis.

This is the magic of the contract. You can make money quickly but lose even faster. Over 40,000 USDT disappeared in an instant, truly despairing.
