Last night, I made a big mistake, it’s really not that I misread the direction, but that I was careless myself. Seeing a breakout, I chased in, but that segment was ridiculously thin in depth, and the slippage directly increased my costs. When I retraced later, I became “the person who bought at the highest point.” Basically, I was too hasty with my orders, didn’t wait for the orders to be placed properly, nor did I split small orders to test the waters. When emotions took over, I just threw everything in. I did set my stop-loss as planned, but I ended up losing quite frustratingly.
Recently, everyone’s been fixated on the pressure from pledge unlocks and unlock calendar releases, and I’ve been watching that too, but now I’m more afraid of a sudden liquidity crunch: you think it’s just volatility, but in reality, you simply can’t get out. My partner also complained, “You talk about discipline every day, but when it comes to critical moments, your hands are faster than your brain”… Alright, tonight I’ll include “not chasing in shallow depth, entering and exiting in batches” into my plan, and stop relying on hope.
