Stop loss is really like a breakup; dragging it out without cutting cleanly, in the end, it's not a rebound that saves you, but interest and emotions that wear you down. I used to always love to "wait a bit longer," but the more I waited, the more afraid I was to press the button, and I secretly kept adding to my position, in other words, I didn't want to admit defeat. Now I set a strict rule for myself: before entering the market, I write down where I went wrong; when the time comes, I leave, even if the next candle pulls back, it's okay—at least I can sleep well.

Recently, the airdrop season has made everyone feel like clocking in at work; task platforms are also full of anti-witchcraft measures, and the points system makes it even easier to get hooked. Now, when I see thoughts like "just a few more days and I'll break even / be able to claim," I become alert: this is a trick to make you procrastinate. Admit defeat early and exit; it's truly more cost-effective and safer than stubbornly holding on.
