Listen to me——

When you experience a margin call, your account is in ruins, and at the same time, you're dealing with emotional issues. Stress piles up and you're about to break down… What do you need most at this moment?

It's not staring at the K-line and feeling worse, nor is it forcing yourself to stay optimistic and fooling yourself. What you really need is to calm your nervous system.

Deep breathing, meditation, exercise, adequate sleep—these seemingly old-fashioned methods are actually essential courses for traders to survive. Your physical and mental state directly determine the quality of your next decision.

Resting is not giving up, but preparing to come back stronger.

Haha, really, at the moment of liquidation, my mind went completely blank, and I couldn't even look at the candlestick chart anymore. Taking a break truly saves lives; otherwise, the next trade would be all emotional trading.

At the moment of liquidation, I really wanted to smash the computer, but once I calmed down, I realized I lost more than just money. Honestly, sleep is the most crucial part; poor sleep makes all trading decisions garbage. Resting isn't about giving up; it's about staying alive so you can turn things around.

Really, at the moment of liquidation, my mind went completely blank, and I was overwhelmed with emotion. There's nothing wrong with what you said.

When the margin call hits, I really want to smash the screen, but calming down makes me realize it's just like that. That's right, watching the market all the time only makes things worse; better to sleep first and talk later. Does deep breathing work? I trust exercise more; breaking a sweat helps forget everything. Emotion + losing money double tap, this combo punch is really deadly, luckily someone woke me up. Rest = giving up. I used to think that way, but now I know I was wrong. Whether the next trade is good or bad really depends on how I slept that day. The worst moments often lead to the worst decisions because my mind is already foggy. These days, who hasn't experienced a margin call? The key is how you survive it.

Really, at the moment of liquidation, my mind went blank, and it felt like the world collapsed. Honestly, instead of tormenting myself by watching the market every day, it's better to just go to sleep. Wow, that really hit me a little hard. Taking a break is indeed not shameful; it might actually be the secret to living longer. That's right, the next wave of the market still depends on a clear-headed mind to profit.

Sounds good, but when the time comes, who will still bother with meditation? They'll already be reviewing why they missed out again.
