I used to stay calm and binge-watch shows when I had a floating profit of a certain amount, but now, even a tiny loss makes my mind feel like a background process has started. I even sneak a peek at the K-line before bed... Honestly, the pain of losing money is more "noisy" than the thrill of making money. It forces you to do something immediately to suppress the discomfort, which often leads to slip-ups, adding to positions, or randomly switching stop-losses.
My current method is also clumsy: before entering a trade, I clearly write out the worst-case scenario, and only place the order if I can accept it; then I use on-chain data plus macro indicators as a weather vane—if the trend isn't right, I close my positions and don't stubbornly hold on until my emotions collapse. By the way, recently, the debate over privacy coins and mixing coins, and their compliance boundaries, has been quite intense. I remind myself not to be swayed by positions—when rules change, the first to be affected are often "those who can't sleep." That's all for now.
