In the afternoon, I placed a few more orders at the company, all of which were wrong. To put it simply, I was just feeling itchy. When the itch strikes, I have to trade, and trading means losing. Accepting the losses is no problem. But the issue is, this restless state not only ruins my mood but also affects my normal work efficiency during the day. People chasing altcoins are most prone to this problem—staring at the charts, unable to sit still with every tiny fluctuation, then inexplicably placing orders. What are the consequences of doing this? Confidence gets shaken, and behavior becomes more chaotic.
If you want to develop steadily in trading, you need to get rid of these clouded, impulsive trades. Trading without a plan is basically gambling.
Actually, there's a principle I've always wanted to say: the market always has only one direction—that is, the correct direction. It’s not about bulls winning or bears winning, but about following the market logic to win. Those blindly chasing gains or cutting losses are essentially gambling.
In the end, the biggest enemy on the trading road is not the market itself, but your own human nature. Your greed, your fear, your impatience—these are the real enemies.
Next week, I plan to review thoroughly, set clear rules, and follow them. A trading plan, a planned approach—this is the only way out.

The itchiness is the original sin, there's nothing I can do about it.

Can't resist the urge and place an order, then lose money... How many people have fallen into this cycle?

The itchiness disease really is the biggest poison in trading, no doubt about it.

Getting itchy and opening orders—that's a sickness. Me too, battling with myself every day.

Itchy hands are really incredible. Watching the market for five minutes and placing orders on five altcoins—this is my daily routine.
Exactly right, the market only recognizes logic, not your emotions. You need to stop when it's time to stop.
I have the same problem. When I get impatient, I forget all the rules, and then I start a cycle of heavy losses.
Talking about strategies on paper is easy, but when it comes to executing the rules, I collapse. Who isn't like that?
Greed, fear, impatience—I've taken all of them. That's the real heartache.
Wait, you say a weekly review can cure itchy hands? I've been itchy for half a year and still haven't stopped.
Placing orders without a plan is indeed gambling, but who can really stick to it? Easier said than done.
