Trading, in essence, is a battle with your own desires. Fear can cause you to miss opportunities, greed can swallow your profits, and anxiety constantly leads to wrong decisions.



I’ve experienced this firsthand over the past few days. Several consecutive trades failed, and my account shrank significantly. Looking back, I can identify the same culprit behind every loss—the weaknesses of human nature.

To survive and thrive in the market, having strategies and technical analysis alone is far from enough. The key is to gradually eliminate those human factors that undermine profitability. Knowing what to do is easy; doing it is hard. The real practice has just begun.

That's right, that's how it is. Constantly fighting with oneself, greed causes the account to devalue in an instant. It really feels a bit hopeless.

honestly the mempool doesn't care about your emotional baggage... watched the gas fees spike exactly when panic selling hit, classic correlation. fear and greed literally broadcast themselves through transaction timing patterns, anyone with half a brain reading the on-chain data can see it coming

yeah trading's basically just a recipe where your emotions are the ingredients you gotta learn not to oversalt. fear, greed, anxiety... that's how you end up with a half-baked portfolio lmao. been there, watching my positions simmer into losses because i couldn't stop fiddling with the heat 💀 the market doesn't care about your strategy if you can't keep your psychological seasoning balanced fr

At the end of the day, it's all about struggling with oneself. Looking at the candlestick chart makes my head heat up, and I lose so much that I start doubting my life.

That's right, I've been the same recently. Just looking at the candlestick chart makes me itchy, and I ended up cutting my losses and selling... Now I realize that technical analysis is really just an illusion; mindset is the real key.

Damn, that really hits home. Every loss is caused by myself. When will I truly learn to control my hands?
