I realized after I started recording that unrealized losses are really more unsettling than unrealized gains. When making a profit, the mind defaults to "It can go higher," and there's less pressure; but when losing, it feels like being pulled by the collar and reminded, "Did you get tricked into this story again?" Even if it's just a paper fluctuation, I keep checking it repeatedly before bed.



Recently, someone also linked ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto price movements as if they were part of a causal chain, making it sound very logical. Honestly, the more popular this narrative becomes, the more anxious I get during unrealized losses, feeling like I'm not really trading but being led by public opinion. The benefit of recording is that when I look back the next day, many of those "sleepless" moments are just emotions, not signals. First, keep your position size and tolerance range in mind, and don't let loss aversion push your hand onto the keyboard.
