Once again, I stopped loss and exited at 3260. To be honest, I really shouldn't have been greedy for that 30-point gain. Back at 3180, I should have just exited directly, losing at most 30 points and calling it a day. But people are like that—stubbornly fighting against themselves, only willing to be satisfied when they are forced out.

Maybe this is a psychological issue. Every time I decide to sell, the market starts to plunge. After experiencing this a few times, naturally, it leaves a shadow. This time, since I’ve already exited, I might as well stop overthinking it. No more sleepless nights, no more staring at the candlestick chart in anxiety. Anyway, I’ve exited; just take it as a lesson.

Greed is indeed the biggest enemy in trading. Next time I encounter this situation, I need to learn to take profits in time and not always think about grabbing a few more points. After all, only by staying alive and exiting can I have the chance to continue trading.

Once again played by the inner demon, 3180 should have launched to the moon, but I had to wait until 3260 to make a hasty exit... That's the price of greed, brother. Mental preparation is essential; don't always rely on the last idea. Only by surviving can you continue on the right track. Learned a lesson from this round. Next time you see the target price, you must decisively load up. Don't wait to be shattered into pieces.

Once again mentally tortured, I was really exhausted when 3260 came out. Mindset is much harder than technology. Every time I sell, it dips; if I can't sell, I crash the market. Truly exhausting. Next time, I will definitely take profits, or I’ll keep suffering like this. Surviving and coming out ahead is winning. Don’t be greedy for those few points. It’s mentally exhausting.

Ah, it's this problem again. Greed won't kill you unless you die from it. Damn, obsessing over a few more percentage points can really drive people crazy. Taking profits is easier said than done, really. 3180 should have been the point to sell; only after getting爆 did you realize what regret truly means. Mental preparation needs to start from scratch, or you'll just repeat the cycle.

Once again, I got played by psychological games. I should have sold at 3180 back then, but I just had to chase that 30-point gain. Serves me right.

Oh no, I got cut again. I knew I was greedy the moment I set the stop loss. This mindset problem is really incredible. Every time I want to run, I start to hesitate. Just survive and get out, don't think too much.
