You just needed an order to win $5,000. Then you found a setup error but decided to take the order anyway. You think Losing $500 is not worth it when you have $5,000 to gain. This is the corresponding reaction.
🔸 Human psychological mechanism:
The brain judges value not by absolute numbers, but by comparison.Compared to $5,000, $500 looks tiny. You lose respect for risk.Conversely, after losing $5,000, a $100 profit seems worthless, so you don't take it, waiting for a big win to recover. Price reverses, you lose again.
🔸 How to regain a true sense of worth:
After big wins/losses, convert that money into real world items (Car, Salary).$500 is not 1/10 of $5,000. $500 is a week of groceries. It has real value.Return your mind to Baseline before trading again.
🔹 Do not let big numbers distort your perception of small numbers. Every dollar is equally valuable.

🔸 Analogy and First Principles:
Analogy: Compare this with that 👉 Risk is you are copying others beliefs without understanding the essence.First Principles: Breaking a problem down to its basic elements and building it up from there.
🔸 Before investing money in a project, you should ask and answer 4 questions:
What problem does it solve? Is the problem real?Why Blockchain? Can a database do it?What is the token for? Why must users buy it?Where does revenue come from? Real users or inflation?
🔸 If you can not answer these logically, it is a Pie in the Sky 👉 Do not buy because It is a Layer 2. Buy because It cuts fees 100x and has positive cashflow.
🔹 Do not trust marketing buzzwords. Look at the physics of money flow and technology.

Do you understand the engine under your coin, or just looking at the shiny paint?

You get $1,000 from an Airdrop. You use it to 50x leverage Futures and blow it instantly. You laugh and think It is free money, does not matter. You are wrong! Losing that $1000 is no different than losing $1000 on a trade that you invested out of your own pocket. That is Mental Accounting.
🔸 Brain Irrationality:
The brain categorizes money: Salary 👉 Valued , Bonus/Airdrop 👉 Careless, Previous Profits👉 Reckless.Actually, $1 from Airdrop has the exact same purchasing power as $1 from hard labor.Disrespecting free money is throwing away wealth. That $1,000 could be $10,000 in a Bull Run if invested seriously.
🔸 When you get money from receiving Airdrop or from other source or do Pooling Rules:

You bought a GameFi top at $10. Now it is $1. You know it is dead, but you can't sell because you regret the lost $9. You even average down. This is Sunk Cost Fallacy.
🔸 The Error Mechanism:
We tend to continue investing money, time, emotion into a failing endeavor simply because we already invested in it.You think holding will help recover the lost cost.The harsh truth is the market does not care what you lost. That $9 is gone. Holding the $1 coin does not bring the $9 back.
🔸 Zero Based Thinking:
Ask yourself: If I had cash today and did not own this coin, would I buy it at $1?If NO 👉 SELL IMMEDIATELY.Take that remaining $1 and invest in a new x10 opportunity. That is how you recover.
🔹 Do not let the past (lost money) kidnap the future (remaining capital). Bravely amputate the gangrenous limb to save the body.

Are you holding due to future potential or past regret?

🔸 The Slippery Slope:
Today, you move Stop Loss a bit because of regret. You survive and profit.The brain will register that Breaking rules a bit is fine, even profitable.Next time, you move SL further, or remove it. You start disrespecting your own rules.👉 The brain will register that one fine day, that bad habit meets a market crash 👉 You burned your account.
🔸 Trading requires a lot of discipline if you want to succeed in this field. Set yourself some iron rules and never break them.
Fix the window as soon as it cracks. If you enter a trade breaking rules 👉 Cut immediately, whether in profit or loss.Never tolerate sloppiness. How you do anything is how you do everything.
🔹 Collapse does not come from a big bang; it comes from the gradual erosion of discipline. Keeping discipline in small trades protects the big ones.
