The first half of this year was spent in a daze, listening to others' opinions about market fluctuations without forming my own judgment. The result was a complete loss—over 2 million U.S. dollars went down the drain. The biggest cost wasn't money, but the wasted time. Fortunately, over the past two weeks, I have gradually found my rhythm, relearned how to observe the market, think about the trends, and make decisions. My mindset has been adjusted, and now my goal is very clear: to gradually recover the profits I previously lost. Thanks to everyone who has been with me along the way. This year, I will approach each trading opportunity more professionally and calmly, and avoid repeating past mistakes.

2 million U just lost like that. Luckily, you realized that listening to others is the biggest trap. --- That confused and aimless period really made me feel like I was completely wasted, worse than losing money. --- But speaking of which, being able to adjust your mindset is half the success; the rest depends on execution. --- I believe in your comeback this time. Keep going, sister. --- The worst thing isn't losing money but not being able to find the root cause. Now that you understand this, there's hope. --- It's tough. Many people get stuck on this hurdle and can't get through. --- After reading it carefully once, I feel your state of mind is right. The rest is just a matter of time. --- Some lessons can only be bought with money. Your 2 million U is basically tuition fees. --- Take it slow, no rush. Keeping a steady mindset is more important than anything else.

Over 2 million directly shattered dreams. This recovery cycle will probably take at least three years... But on the other hand, losing money has taught me real lessons, much more reliable than those self-proclaimed "money-making experts." --- Another "confused" story. When will the big brother stop following the trend? Have you really found the rhythm this time? Come back in three months for an update. --- Paying 2 million in tuition for a wake-up call. Whether it's worth it depends on how you handle it later... But I only half believe in this kind of regret. --- The most heartbreaking part is the sentence about time... Money can be earned again, but time truly cannot be regained. That’s the most expensive price. --- Hey, "a little bit of profit back" sounds really exhausting. Can everyone turn things around within three years? --- As long as your mindset is adjusted, that's enough. Stop listening to others' nonsense. Watch the market yourself, judge for yourself—that's the way to survive.

2 million U lost but still so calm, truly impressive --- From what others say about this... I’ve been through it too, only after losing does one truly understand --- Stay calm, but earning it back is the real deal, brother --- The most heartbreaking part is wasting time; even if the money is gone, you can earn it back --- This wave of mental adjustment is worth it, just worried about being led astray again --- Starting now to find the rhythm, can you share how you did it specifically? --- Losing everything but still able to smile and summarize, I need to learn this mindset --- Don’t trust influencers anymore, analyzing the market yourself is the real way

Over 2 million U... This mindset recovery is too fast, why am I still angry? --- Listening to others say to go all in, this is indeed a high-risk move. Just wake up. --- Time cost is the most annoying. If you lose money, you can still make it back. What about youth? --- Staying calm is correct, but how long does it take to earn back a little? This calculation is impossible. --- Finding the rhythm is easy to say, the real test is how long you can stick to it. --- If 2 million goes down the drain, I’d be gone. Your recovery ability is indeed incredible. --- Don’t just thank me. Next time there’s a little disturbance, you still need to hold on. We agreed not to repeat the same mistake.

Listening to others' opinions really hits home—over 2 million just gone like that, that's pretty intense. --- Time is more valuable than money, this realization is worth it. --- Staying calm while trading is easier said than done, keep going, buddy. --- I've also gone through a confused and aimless first half of the year. Are you finding your rhythm again? Take it slow, no need to rush. --- Losing everything is not scary; what's scary is not learning a lesson. Looks like you have a good attitude. --- Observing the market and making decisions—that's what a trader should do. --- Losing 2 million is really painful, but if you can learn to judge independently from it, it's worth it. --- Starting over, this time I must stay calm and not listen to every wind and rain.

2 million U just like that, and it's okay, but the real loss is not learning anything at all. Listening to others' trading advice, this mindset definitely needs to change, but understanding the way is easy, sticking to it is hard. Finding the rhythm in two weeks? Let's wait and see, don't get caught up again. The money you earn back can never compensate for the time wasted, this phrase hits home.

Over 2 million U was lost just like that. Hearing others' opinions really is original sin. --- I also went through that dazed and confused period. Now I finally understand — losing money isn't scary, what's scary is not doing a review. --- Finding the rhythm is the key. Keep it up, brother. --- Time cost is the most expensive. Good insight. --- No longer following the trend. This time, I really thought it through. --- Being able to survive the lesson from 2 million U shows that your mindset is still okay. --- Next time, stop listening to others' nonsense. Watching the market yourself is more reliable. --- I believe in the idea of trading calmly, but how many can really stick to it until the end... --- Starting fresh. Hopefully, this isn't just another round of a bear trap.

Over two million gone just like that. Hearing others' opinions, it's really a losing game. Following the trend like this, I should have used my own brain earlier. Wasting time is more heartbreaking than losing money, I agree with that. It's good to find the rhythm; I'm just afraid of returning to the previous state. Staying calm is the key; with a good mindset, everything will be fine. This time, I should be able to turn things around. Keep going, brother.
