I find that what I can’t handle the most isn’t making a little less—it’s the floating loss hanging there. Even though my position isn’t big and I’ve already set my stop loss, that whole string of red numbers feels like it’s constantly knocking at the door. Before bed, I can’t help checking the order book; when a big order gets pulled and then slammed, my heartbeat changes pace along with it. Floating profits, on the other hand, make me surprisingly calm—maybe because in my mind I default to, “That isn’t mine,” while losses feel like they really get taken out of my pocket.

Recently, that mainstream public chain is supposed to upgrade/maintain, and in the group everyone has been guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I also get a little emotional from this kind of uncertainty, but when I look at the order flow, it turns out that it’s mostly people moving positions in advance and hedging—there’s more noise than conclusion. In plain terms, the thing that affects my sleep the most isn’t the news; it’s my own unwillingness to accept it.

So now I’m back to my old, no-nonsense rules: before entering, write down the “worst-case scenario” clearly; once the time comes, execute it and don’t debate with myself. Oh, and when I see particularly good setups, I’ll screenshot and save them… like a meme collection, to remind myself notI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
