I only write one sentence in my notes: stop-loss is like a breakup—the longer you delay, the more it hurts.

Last week, the group was spreading rumors about some stablecoin reserves again. Screenshots got forwarded around three times, no one checked, and everyone panicked first. I watched my own position with a 15% floating loss and suddenly found it ridiculous—when I should’ve cut it earlier, I just kept waiting for a “bounce confirmation,” and the rolling interest got thicker than the principal.

To put it bluntly, delaying a stop-loss is the same as delaying a breakup. It’s the fear of admitting you were wrong. But the market won’t act out some tear-jerking drama with you—it just quietly takes away your funding fees.

Now my rule is this: set the line, leave the moment it’s hit, and don’t give myself time to spin stories. That’s it.
