The most heartbreaking situation in event contract trading is this—after winning 7 rounds, the last stop-loss couldn't hold, and instead of recovering, losses kept piling up, ultimately giving back all the profits. That feeling at that moment is truly indescribable.



Looking back, the problem isn't with the trading logic, but with my own mouth. When winning, I feel confident, but once I get stopped out, I start to panic and try to average down recklessly, as if I can gamble my losses back. I know this is a big taboo, but my hands just won't listen, and I keep increasing my position in hopes of turning the tide. The outcome is predictable.

Now I review my trades every day, asking myself why I keep falling into the same trap. Emotional control sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it's incredibly difficult. It's not just about knowing to stay calm, but about realizing that I still can't do it. Maybe this is the true reflection of most traders.

Thinking you're the chosen one after winning big, a single liquidation sends you back to square one, truly incredible. Basically, it’s that moment of greed that clouds the judgment. Knowing you should cut losses but still insisting on taking a gamble—serves you right. Emotions, you see, are easy to understand but hard to control. I often find myself in the same situation. What can I do? Talking about stop-losses is easy, but my fingers just don’t listen to my brain. After 7 consecutive wins, I thought I had a revelation, but it was just good luck. A pullback brought me back to reality.

Win or lose, it really all depends on whether you can hold your temper. I've been taught that way too.

I've said it before, the key to this wave is to maintain a high ground in mindset. I mentioned three years ago—winning seven rounds and still daring to go all-in, honestly, shows a lack of understanding of the overall trend logic of trading. It's not too late to realize now; opportunities like this must not be missed.

Winning seven times and then losing everything on the reverse trades—that's the true picture of crypto. --- Honestly, it's just being reckless. Knowing you shouldn't average down but still can't help yourself. --- Every time you say next time you'll stay calm, but it always ends in a crash. I totally get it. --- Emotions are really much harder to control than skills. Who doesn't want steady profits? --- Setting stop-losses sounds easy to write, but pressing that button is truly deadly. --- Losing all the profits from seven wins in one trade—that must feel so terrible. --- The worst part is repeatedly falling into the same trap, a cycle of hell. --- Knowing where the problem is but just can't change it—that's the most hopeless part.
