Kicking myself over a missed 10k opportunity. The thing is, I know I'll spot another one—the real issue isn't spotting trades, it's discipline.
My buying conviction is solid. Where I crumble is on the exit. I set rules, then emotionally override them the moment price moves against me. It's the classic trader's paradox: iron hands on entries, paper hands on exits.
Throw in the fact that my wallet(s) are trackable, and now everyone sees my moves. That transparency cuts both ways—keeps me honest but also means every mistake is on record. No privacy to justify bad decisions.
Lessons logged. Next time, execution over emotion.

Ah, this is my daily routine. I hold on tight when entering, but get scared easily when exiting.

The stark contrast in entry and exit mindsets indicates a lack of reverence for risk.

Paper hands exit is really an occupational hazard—I've thought about it with 100k too. The key is really to treat stop-loss as a belief system, don't wait around for dopamine to save the day with a reversal.

Selling out manually is really impressive, I often do the same 😭

This is me, aggressive when entering and gentle when leaving.

Selling out quickly is really a death sentence, I feel the same way.

Paper hand syndrome, got it. Getting out of the game is really the Achilles' heel for most people.
