I admit it, I really got slapped in the face by the market this time.



I was just like that guy, watching $LAB stubbornly not fall, expecting the meme coin to hit new highs.

In a moment of impulsiveness, I thought the whale traders would have the guts to blow me out.

Result... I was short on $BTC.

7x leverage, entry price at 65,705.

At the time, I thought $BTC had been rising for so long, it was time for a correction.

History always repeats itself; when everyone is bullish, it's the best time to short.

The logic was perfect, self-hypnosis at its best.

And reality?

$BTC kept dropping, down to 63,968.

My short position actually showed a floating profit of 18 points, earning $19.6.

I said I was slapped in the face by the market, but in reality, I was crying over my own stupidity.

The direction was right, but my mindset collapsed.

Because when I opened the position, I was trembling like crazy, full of worries about being liquidated.

Now that I’m making money, I feel even more anxious.

Afraid of a sudden rebound, afraid of giving back profits, afraid I can't hold on.

This trade really lacked integrity.

I was bearish, and it dropped.

I made money, but I felt worse.

Next time?

Not next time, but next time I need to control myself.

Before entering, ask yourself: Is the logic behind this trade solid enough? Can my position withstand a 20% adverse move?

Have I set my take profit and stop loss?

It’s not a technical issue, it’s a discipline issue.

This line is really hot.

Recently, the on-chain situation isn’t peaceful either. The well-known Ethereum MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.$eth was counter-sniped, earning $7.5 million.

Hackers pre-deployed 66 fake liquidity pools, waiting for the bot to automatically eat the orders, then directly liquidate.

Even professional liquidation bots were counter-killed; what makes retail traders think they can win?

In this round of market, the profit came from luck, the loss from greed.

When was the last time the market slapped you in the face?

Share in the comments, let me balance out my feelings.
