I recently realized that I am really quite typical: when I make a quick profit, my mindset is as steady as if nothing happened, at most I secretly smile;

When I experience a small loss, even just a tiny bit, my brain immediately starts working overtime, and the first reaction when I wake up in the middle of the night is to reach for my phone to check the K-line…
Honestly, it’s not about how much I lose, but the noise of “might continue to lose” that’s too loud.

I’ve written a note for myself: cut when it’s time, don’t add to the position to average down, don’t think about turning it around.
But I still get itchy hands when executing, especially when the market keeps tricking you with waves of “it’ll come back soon.”
Floating losses are like debts, floating gains are like lottery tickets, and the mind really doesn’t play by the rules.

By the way, I see NFT folks arguing fiercely over royalties, saying they want to give creators a livelihood,
while also saying secondary liquidity is being squeezed out by taxes.
I understand both sides well; everyone is protecting their own profit expectations, afraid of paying more or earning less.

Tired but still here, today I’ll keep my position smaller, and stop watching the market before bed…
Hope I can stick to it.
