That day I still can't forget. Only 50,000 U was left on the screen, and the market suddenly accelerated downwards, the K-line like an out-of-control elevator.
The stop-loss button was just below my thumb. But I froze. It wasn't that I didn't understand, it was that I was unwilling.
A phrase kept popping up in my mind: “Just wait a bit, it will bounce back before I exit.” As a result, when the 10 minutes were up.
There was no bounce, only numbers being wiped away one by one.
That feeling was ten times more painful than cutting losses.
It wasn't pain, it was suffocation.
You are clearly awake, yet you can only watch helplessly as your account is devoured by time,
even your breathing slows down.
Only after reviewing the situation did I realize a more heartbreaking fact—
This loss could have been avoided.
The direction was right, but the position was too heavy;
The plan was written clearly,
but the execution lost to emotions.
At that moment I understood:
The harshest punishment in the crypto world,
is never the market going against you,
but being given an escape route,
and choosing not to push.
Later I recorded that day in my trading log,
and circled a sentence in red pen:
“What can bring the account to zero is never the market, but hesitation.”
