Ever had one of those moments? You're staring at your portfolio, feeling restless, and boom—you hit sell just because you're bored. Then what happens? The very next day, that asset goes parabolic. Yeah, we've all been there, and honestly, it's getting ridiculous how often this plays out.



Here's the brutal truth nobody wants to admit: sitting on your hands is way tougher than making moves. Your brain craves action, especially when the charts are flat. But that urge to "do something"? That's usually what wrecks your returns. The hardest part of trading isn't finding the next pump—it's having the discipline to hold when everything in you screams to trade.

Really, I knew I was going to lose the moment I impulsively pressed the sell button. --- That's why I now toss my phone aside—out of sight, out of mind. --- It’s always like this; I know I should stay calm but I just can't control myself. It’s insane. --- Sitting there doing nothing is the hardest part. Just saying it brings tears. --- Bored trading has cost me several times. Now I’ve learned to bear it. --- I understand, the most frightening thing is that moment when you’re bored and start scrolling through charts. --- Discipline sounds simple in theory but is really hard to do, especially in a bear market. --- I just want to ask, who else can resist trading? Let me learn from you.

Damn, it's the same feeling again. I was the one who screwed myself over last time.

Bored and impulsively sold, only to see it soar the next day... Everyone has probably experienced this, right? Haha Really, the biggest enemy of a paper hand is that restless heart of ours. HODL is truly a hundred times more difficult than trading, honestly. Pressing the sell button is easy, resisting the urge to press it is the real test. Every time the chart gets dull, my mind starts to go crazy, and then I end up losing money when I act. I just want to ask, how many people have lost control out of "boredom"? In trading, those who move may not always make money; those who sit tight are the real winners.

This is how I was taught by the market to be a person, a boring button, a blood loss of 50%, at that moment I understood what it meant to "don't be blind when you are idle"

I understand too well, I am pitted to death by myself every time. Really, selling cheaply is the beginning of losing money. Boredom is the biggest enemy of the currency circle. If you say you want to hold it, why can't you hold it? This wave of bottom-buying failed again, and the operation was really amazing. The biggest opponent of paper hands is their own fingers. Stopping the trade may be the best trading strategy. Brain: Hurry up and sell! Wallet: Why listen to you. Damn, it's this pit again, how many times do you have to step on it to learn. I couldn't hold back for the last five minutes, and now my intestines are regretful.
