Lying in bed holding your phone, staring at the chart

Feeling anxious and unable to fall asleep

This is very typical
A sign you're on the edge of graduation

Anyone who opens a super large position
Will definitely have insomnia
Definitely can't sleep
(The amount varies for each person, as long as it's a level you can't bear emotionally)

Why can't you sleep?

Because in the worst case scenario
You know you can't handle it

It's like camping somewhere
Where lions often appear
You'd be surprised if you could sleep
You're definitely on edge all night

But if it's just mosquitoes appearing often
Although it might cause some irritation
You know this risk is manageable

Trading is the same

You open a position 10 times larger than usual
What are you thinking?

Actually, most likely it's because
Your mind is full of thoughts like

If I make money,
How much profit will I have?

But a truly mature trader
Thinks more about

If I lose money,
How much will I lose?

Because as long as you want to trade long-term
You shouldn't prioritize returns first
You should prioritize risk

Doing this isn't cowardly
It's to prevent yourself from dying

It's to prevent a single trade
From ruining your entire life savings

Or rather,
It's to ensure you still have the capital to trade tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that

I know you want to make money faster
I know you want to go all in once

But you might not realize
When you bet with a position you can't afford to lose
Whether you make money or lose money in the end
You've already lost

Losing money,
Your trading career might end immediately

Making money,
Most likely you'll just bet again next time

Because you'll start to believe
That doing this can really turn things around quickly
And next time,
It will be even harder to stop

A game where one trade determines life or death
Maybe you can win once or twice

But can you keep winning 100 times in a row?

If just one loss resets everything,
Then in the end,
Not only will you lose all your money,
But also because of all the emotional turmoil in between—
Anxiety, insomnia, fear—
You’ll ruin your body and mental health too

Is that really worth it?

Before losing control completely,
Trade more steadily and slowly

Positions you can sleep soundly with
Are the ones you can truly bear long-term

Positions you can sleep soundly with
Are the ones that won't get you eliminated by the market
