This recent round of trading was pretty intense.

Starting with ETH, I felt 3030 was too high so I went short, held all the way down to the lowest point at 2700 before closing—felt great at first. But then I got restless, kept testing positions in and out, and ended up giving back half my profits.

SOL was even wilder—went long at 126 and kept adding as it dropped (yeah, that’s how stubborn I am), and finally held on until I took profit at 143. Tried to get back in at 141, but cut my losses at 140. Then kept testing more trades, and my gains got chopped down even more.

That’s trading for you—winning trades you can usually hold, but the losing ones are all thanks to itchy hands.

ETH-4.58%

SOL-4.09%

Making money is just a few deals; the rest are just reckless giveaways, truly.

The hand-slipping syndrome is really something else; all the money earned is worn away by trading fees. That's why I insist on not trading manually; I just set the take profit and stop loss and close my eyes. The recent aggressive addition of positions in SOL was really intense. I cried, I can only watch from afar. To be honest, 80% of the losses come from changing your mind after entering the market. Take profit and exit, don't be greedy—everyone understands this principle, but it's hard to do.

Making money is easy, but keeping it is hard, and that's my daily routine. Feeling itchy is truly the enemy of trading; the planned strategy often leads me to repeatedly test orders. That wave of SOL is still just beginning; the more it drops, the more I need a bit of courage. The key is to learn to let go and not always be worried about those little pullbacks. It's actually just greed—once you've made a profit, you should exit.

Impulsiveness is the number one killer in trading, that's absolutely right.

Being trigger-happy is really the worst. Even after making a profit, I end up losing it all by myself.

Impulsiveness is an incurable problem—I have it too. All my earnings are lost in repeatedly testing trades.

Being trigger-happy is truly the number one killer in trading, and I often fall into this trap myself. The money I earned gets lost from messing around—it's just an unbelievable feeling. That SOL wave was really intense; doubling down as it dropped is true bravery. After closing the position, still wanting to play again—that's just asking for trouble. Take your profits and be done, why be greedy for just a few more points? One word: greed.

This bad habit of being impulsive is really hard to cure. Even after making a profit, I still have to keep trying trades over and over—I'm honestly just digging a hole for myself.
