Recently, my trading mindset has indeed become much more cautious, and I can't say whether it's a good or bad thing. Take ICNT as an example—such a familiar coin, and at the 0.55 price level, I only placed an order for 300 units. In the past, it would have been over 3000. I'm really afraid of holding the bottom and resisting the sell-off; I've experienced too many times being caught in a trap.

My recent performance hasn't been ideal either. Opportunities like ENA and AAVE, which seemed promising, ended up being sold off completely. Every time, I struggle with whether to hold on or take profits in time. In the end, I either exit at a loss or watch my gains slip away. Now I have a new insight: never greed for the last piece of meat. Leaving some profit for the next person is much more reassuring than frequently chasing highs and lows.

ICNT-15.72%

ENA-9.71%

AAVE-6.21%

Selling FEI ENA that time as well, now just looking at that candlestick makes me angry

Selling too early was really despairing, but it's probably more despairing than being stuck holding the position while fighting against the trend haha

Backing out after selling twice? Haha, me too. Now I feel uneasy about everything I see.

I'm really afraid of being trapped, a order volume of 300 shows I truly lack confidence. --- I was also caught off guard during the ENA sell-off, and now I regret that move. --- Greed for that last piece of meat is really the biggest trap in trading, you're so right. --- The mental shift from 3000 to 300 is huge... it clearly shows I've been through tough times. --- I also misjudged that wave of AAVE, that's just the market, no way around it. --- Taking profits is much harder than bottom fishing; you'll never know where the ceiling is. --- Hey, this insight is pretty good. Leaving some room for others is definitely more solid than anchoring at the bottom. --- Having been trapped too many times is the truth; being cautious and surviving longer is the real key. --- A 300 order volume only shows that I really have a psychological shadow over bottom fishing now.

Bottom-fishing and anti-ordering really tire me out, being trapped is truly frightening --- How many times have I missed the sell? This time I’ve learned to be smart --- 300 orders is indeed outrageous, my mentality is shattered and I need to recover slowly --- Don’t be greedy for the last bite, I agree, but when it comes to that point, I still can’t let go --- That wave of ENA was really tough, watching helplessly was the most painful --- Always caught between taking profit and holding, no one can solve this dilemma --- After experiencing more being trapped, I start to be cautious, maybe this is growth --- Saving some room for others to listen is good, but in actual operation, I still tend to be greedy --- Only dared to place 300 at 0.55 ICNT, this mentality has truly changed --- Those few sell orders were the real lessons, more painful than losses
