Looking at DOGE's recent market, I finally understand what it means to say "thinking this time is different every time."
I should have known not to chase the highs, but at the time I just felt it was going to rise. As a result, I was greedy and didn't get out in time. I was just one minute away from stopping the loss, but of course it didn't happen. I thought it might still go up, but who knew it would turn around and fall. I feel like it might fall further, and it really will.
Lost again. At this point, I started to hesitate whether to sell or not. I asked my mentor what to do, and he said next time I must follow my system closely. I promised to do so and adhere to discipline next time. But what happened? I still violated my system, thinking I could control the position and slowly turn things around.
The worst part isn't the account loss, but the fear of telling my family. At this point, the biggest regret is losing their trust. It was then I realized that more painful than losing money is this feeling of guilt. This lesson is more profound than any margin call caused by leverage multiples.

That hits too close to home; that one minute of stop-loss is really the line between life and death.

It's all about chasing the high; the things that can turn around in a minute are just missed intentionally.

You're starting to self-reflect again, huh? Still can't change it next time.

A one-minute difference can stop the loss—that's just fate, buddy.

Ha, a one-minute mistake can ruin a deal, that's crypto for you.
