I almost changed my stop-loss order to add to my position just now… The moment I mis-tapped and went in the wrong direction, my heart really couldn’t take it. Luckily, I looked at the confirmation page a second time—otherwise I would have had to leave myself another “keepsake photo” in the liquidation chart. Honestly, a stop-loss is really like a breakup: you drag it out, refusing to admit defeat, hoping you can still turn back. But interest/time are quietly cutting you away, and in the end the pain lasts even longer. It’s better to acknowledge the loss sooner—it feels lighter, even if you’re still stubborn. Just preserve your life first.
Recently, the whole argument around NFT royalties also feels pretty similar: creators want stable income, but the secondary market complains that fees affect liquidity… Both sides aren’t wrong, but when the rules stay uncertain and you keep dragging it out, everyone feels uncomfortable. Anyway, I’m going to manage my own leveraged emotions first—don’t get carried away, and don’t mis-tap again.
