【Trading Diary】 Day 66

Current account status: 70U (unrealized loss of 60U compared to yesterday)

Today was yet another bloody lesson. Four trades all lost, win rate 0%.

**First trade: Short BTC at 1.57**
The logic was simple—it would drop when the market opened at 7 a.m. Sounds reasonable? Actually, it was just guesswork. After being proven wrong four times at the same time, I was still fighting the market with my personal will. The result was that BTC alone lost me 500U. Now I’ve decided to delete it and stop trading.

**Second trade: Short COOKIE at 9 a.m.**
BTC had already hit two stop-losses. I got anxious and quickly entered another trade. How absurd is this "following the trend to lose"? I was quickly educated—got stopped out with a 20U gain and exited.

**Third and Fourth trades: Avalanche**
Seeing three losing trades on my account, I completely lost my composure. Instead of calmly analyzing, I thought, "Quickly open two more trades to recover." The result was holding onto losing positions, a classic death cycle of stop-loss → stop-loss → big loss.

**The paradox of review**
I’ve written so many reviews, each time I can identify the problems. But when it’s time to actually place an order, my brain seems to be empty. Greed, fear, impatience—these demons hide in the details of trading.

Make 1U profit per trade, but lose 100U in one go. Watching the candlestick charts scream, refusing to eat or sleep—that’s who I am now.

Almost 26 years old, still messing around here. Sometimes I really feel it’s pointless. But walking into the world empty-handed doesn’t seem to have a better way out. So I’ll keep going.

BTC-0,55%

COOKIE-0,56%

A person can fall four times in the same pit repeatedly—that's truly an art level. Deleting BTC was definitely a clear-headed decision.

Bro, four consecutive losses completely broke my composure. This is a classic case of chasing trades and getting carried away. Reviewing the analysis in detail is useless; as soon as I get anxious, I forget everything.

Oh no, it's another losing morning. I told you not to touch BTC. This cycle really needs to change, brother. It's always the same routine. Five hundred U.S. dollars gone just like that. I feel heartbroken watching it.

Bro, this round is really self-sabotage. Knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet heading into the tiger's den. What sounds nice is calling it trading, but it's actually just throwing a tantrum. Facing rejection four times at a certain point and still daring to come back? I think it's time to take a break.

Typical emotional trading. No matter how detailed the review, it’s useless; execution is the real dividing line. --- The death spiral of chasing gains and cutting losses—simply put, it’s a lack of stop-loss discipline. --- Losing 500U on a single BTC position—your risk management is a bit outrageous. --- Human weakness vs. market game—humans always surrender first. I admire that you can keep going. --- Being 26 years old, others might have already hedged their longs and shorts, while you’re still holding on to turn things around. --- What about "probability strategies"? It all feels like a gambler’s mindset. --- The logic that the market must drop at 7 a.m. on Monday open—I don’t even know what to say [laugh-cry]. --- Having 70U in your account and still going all-in—chip management is virtually nonexistent. --- Making 1U profit and losing 100U—this profit curve is a cliff. --- Deleting BTC is the right move, but the problem isn’t the coin, it’s your mental management.

Bro, this is the gambler's mentality. When you lose, you want to make it back, and it gets deeper and deeper. Reviewing a hundred times is not as good as taking a three-day break to calm down, really.
