#数字资产市场观察 $MERL This order really ran ahead! I missed out on a 30% profit!



Opened a short position around 0.46 in the morning, and since the trend looked good, I took profit early. As a result, now looking back—damn it, if I had held on a bit longer, I could have made even more on this swing.

Short selling is one thing, accurately seizing the position is another. Sometimes you find yourself in this situation, afraid of a pullback and exiting too early, while being greedy can easily lead to being buried... This trade can be considered a standard "made a profit but not fully captured".

Swing trading is like this, always battling with your own mindset.

This is the fate of swing trade, getting out early is a mistake, and getting out late is also a mistake.

If I had known earlier, I should have just held it; now it's useless to regret.

Sigh, this is the price of greed; if I had known earlier, I would have held.

According to research, this actually involves the issue of "regret bias" in behavioral finance—look, the key is not the 30% loss, but the scientific choice of the take profit level. Data shows that most retail investors lack quantitative basis in their take profit decisions, relying purely on feelings. From a technical perspective, the support strength at the 0.46 level should have been backtested, right? It is worth noting that taking profit early in a volatility environment is often a rational decision, even though it may seem like a loss.

If I had known, I wouldn't have sold. This mindset is truly the biggest enemy of trading.

On-chain data shows that the recent fall of MERL has indeed exceeded expectations. From a coding perspective, the point of 0.46 may just be right at the closing position range of a certain contract. What's interesting is that early deployers should have been lying in ambush for a while... As expected, it's another round of playing people for suckers.
