When you can’t hold on any longer, you realize that making money in this market isn’t so easy. Take this trade of mine, for example: I held it for two days and more than ten hours—nearly three days—and was underwater for most of that time.
Why did I hold on? Because I was genuinely furious. He hit my short at the absolute high, then hit my long too. In the end, I just threw in the towel and thought, “Fine, do whatever you want. If you’ve got the guts, take me out at 2285.” That was all I could think at the time: if I lose, so be it.
That’s how Xiang Yu approached the Battle of Julu: you need the resolve to burn your boats and fight to the death. Damn it, we need that same all-or-nothing determination against these damn market makers—no breakthrough without a fight. At long last, I managed to wait it out!!
But don’t worry, guys, I haven’t made money yet. I’ve only clawed back some of my losses. If I lose again, I’ll be deep in the red for the month. Good thing those damn market makers showed my security squad a little mercy; otherwise, I’d have given up on adding funds. $ETH
Tonight, we have to fight to the death again—no breakthrough without a fight!!
I’m bullish now. Anyone taking the opposite side of my trade? Lately, apart from this profitable position, everything else I’ve traded has been a loss.
