I find that what I can't handle the most isn't how much I've lost, but the words "floating loss" hanging there, like an alarm clock that hasn't been turned off. When I'm floating profits, I can pretend I didn't see them, and even stay relatively rational: a retracement is just a retracement; but once there's a floating loss, my mind automatically starts filling in the plot—should I cut my losses, did I see the wrong direction, what if it keeps dropping? The more I think about it, the more alert I become, and a quick glance at my position before bed instantly wakes me up.

Basically, it's loss aversion playing tricks: the money I make feels "something I can do without," while the losses feel like "money being taken out of my pocket." Recently, with privacy coins, mixing coins, and regulatory boundaries causing chaos in the community, I see this psychological pattern too: it's not that data can't persuade people, but everyone fears "losing a sense of security/account safety/withdrawal routes," which easily leads to emotional reactions.

I need to be reminded: don't treat floating losses as the conclusion; first, align your position size and time frame, or else emotions will always be a step ahead of strategy. That's all for now.
