Since last night until now, I’ve completed more than 10 contracts, all from new coins pulled from the top gainers list.
On one hand, I want to experience the feeling of sharp rises and falls; honestly, it’s really exciting.
Last night around 3 a.m., I couldn’t sleep, dreaming about placing orders and trading contracts.
I woke up at 6 to meet a friend. My eyes were very red.
I felt like I was putting a lot of effort into trading contracts in my dreams, feeling anxious and frantic.
Overall, I lost $100. Although it’s a loss, I kept my margin per order around $15, with a stop loss of about 60%.
For coins with small values and volatile emotions, I felt the rapid fluctuations—very quick and very stimulating.
It’s unpredictable, and of course, it’s impossible to predict perfectly.
But it’s definitely a feeling of being completely manipulated. I don’t understand it, but I accept it.
A rapid loss of $100—because there are both gains and losses—profits come quickly.
Sometimes, within a minute, the price doubles or even increases by 150%.
But before I could take profits, it would pull back.
On the other hand, I wanted to recover from losses on this one trade, but in the end, I just ended it hastily—making $5, or $2, or losing $10, sometimes losing everything before I could set a stop loss.
However, it helped me gradually steady my footing.
Now I’m opening an Ethereum contract. Compared to a day ago, I’m much more steady.
I used to expect results within the same day or even half a day.
But the recent drops have been large, making it easier to see results.
Now I’m less impatient, maybe because I was too exhausted yesterday and entered “Sage Mode.”
No worries, I’ll take it slow as always.
