Why Are You Still Losing Money When You Got the Direction Right?
One of the most painful moments for many traders is not getting the direction completely wrong, but getting it more or less right and still losing money.
This has been especially evident in the recent market action.
After Bitcoin fell from its highs, many people thought it “would stay weak.” Some entered short positions too early and got stopped out repeatedly during the rebound; others got the direction right but used too much leverage, and one sharp drop wiped out their positions; still others correctly anticipated a short-term

When I checked the charts this morning, BTC had plunged straight to around 68,000, down nearly 7% in 24 hours. The group chat was full of messages like “I got liquidated” and “I’m cutting my losses” again. I glanced at my account, and my heart still started racing.

A couple of days ago, it was hovering around 72,000. I manually opened a small long position with about 800U in capital and 2x leverage. The 4-hour trend looked fairly steady at the time, so I figured I’d add a little if it pulled back to around 71,000. But then it started selling off nonstop last night, breaking straight below 70,

BTC’s daily bearish trend continues, with the Bollinger Bands pointing steadily downward. Bearish momentum has not waned, and the price remains under pressure below the moving averages. The broader trend has not changed.

After declining continuously on the 4-hour chart, the price has entered consolidation near the lows, with no signs of stabilization. Every upward rebound faces selling pressure overhead, and the structure still indicates a continuation of the downtrend.

The 1-hour indicators are oversold and have seen a slight recovery. This is merely a technical rebound after a sharp drop.

MICROSOFT REASSESSING AI COMPUTING RENTALS: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ORACLE, COREWEAVE, NVIDIA AND THE AI BOOM?

Microsoft's reported decision to wind down a specific Oracle AI-computing rental arrangement and decline an option to expand its Texas capacity agreement with Nscale has triggered debate about AI infrastructure economics. The key point is that Microsoft is not abandoning AI. It is becoming more selective about which GPUs it rents, where capacity is built, how quickly projects are delivered and whether each dollar invested produces measurable returns.

In the past, I would keep holding losing positions for the sake of my so-called win rate, without setting stop-losses. A small position that could have been settled with a stop-loss would end up becoming a big loss, seriously affecting my mood and leading me to make reckless trades. In reality, my trades have a pretty high chance of being profitable after entry, but my mindset still gets in the way. So in trading, mastering your mindset is of utmost importance!
