A 32-day doubling plan, and the account is now at 1832U. Yesterday's idea was actually pretty good; there was a nice upward trend in the morning. But because I was determined to break through 2000U within this week, I didn't set the right overall strategy.

In the end, I held on and made 52U in two days. Honestly, I didn't catch the optimal exit points for either of the two waves, but at least I didn't lose money, and that's enough.

But now I am increasingly aware of one issue—have I set the goal too rigidly? Forcing to double within these few days might actually distort my operations. When the market comes and goes, trying to predict it forcibly only makes me overconfident. Maybe I should change the pace, not be so impatient, and wait for a truly suitable opportunity for this trade. The balance between greed and patience is indeed a test.

This is a typical case of self-entanglement. Fixating on a goal can backfire and cause you to collapse. As long as you don't lose, you win. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Your insight is so true; many people fall into the trap of "must rush against time." Trying to catch the bottom or the top is all futile; just staying alive is winning. Wait a minute, greed and patience are really hard to balance, and I often get hijacked by my goals.

Ha, this is a classic case of target kidnapping oneself, brother. Can't hold out until that 2000U and start messing around, ending up falling into the trap instead. So true. But the ideas are still there; taking it slow is much more reliable than rushing.

Haha, starting to reflect on life again. This is our daily routine. But speaking of which, going from 168 to 1832 is almost a tenfold increase. Still trying to be clever and push to 2000? I really can't understand that. The key point is, you're right. Market trends are really something where trying to force predictions is just like giving yourself a lesson.

It has been proven that rigid time targets can indeed distort decision-making logic... The psychology behind this is worth testing empirically.

Haha, this is me, the common flaw of being impatient and eager for quick gains. Rushing to break 2000 actually messed up the rhythm, but I guess I paid my tuition this time. Sometimes letting go of the goal can actually lead to more gains, really. Wait, wait, wait, this is the real way, why is it so hard to do... 52U is steadily and safely earning, which is already good enough, don't be too greedy.
