Starting with 2000U, I planned to make a small profit and then exit. As a result, within seven days, the account balance skyrocketed to 12000U — during those days, managing the market truly felt like I was catching its pulse.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. The following trades completely went to my head; I was greedy when it was time to take profits, and impulsively kept trading when I should have watched patiently, completely disrupting my strategy. Looking back now, it’s all just a mess left by emotional trading.

Currently, I've decided to pause and calm down. Once I have more capital or encounter reliable partnership opportunities, I will re-plan my entry strategy. That’s how this market works — as long as you’re still in, there’s always a chance to turn things around.

Ultimately, no one can win every battle. Accept the losses, but don’t give up — this round is just tuition fees paid.

6 comments highlighting style differences: 1. From 12000 to now, haven't paid enough tuition fees, brother. 2. This is a classic story of a dream start followed by self-destruction. 3. Those two greedy trades probably still make you tremble today. 4. You should calm down and come back later; don't get carried away again. 5. The thrill of turning 2000 into six times that amount is irreplaceable. 6. Admitting defeat but not giving up; I give full marks for this attitude.

This is a typical case of quantitative model failure. The surge from 2000 to 12000 was entirely due to probability bias, not systematic gains. A subsequent correction is inevitable. Emotional trading is like this. I've fallen into this trap before. The data looks clear, but the execution layer is all over the place. Honestly, stopping to calm down is the right move. Always trying to turn things around with a mindset of revenge is the easiest way to get deeper and deeper into a bear market. This time, I definitely paid tuition, but the question is, will I repeat the same mistake next time? No matter how perfect the technical analysis is, it can't withstand human nature.

This is a typical "get-rich-quick" mindset disaster scene. When the 6x returns were happening, why didn't you think about cashing out and securing your gains? That greed—how long would it take to make up for it? It's a bit uncertain. But on the other hand, at least you still know how to stay calm, which is much better than those who go on gambling even after going bankrupt.

This is a classic roller coaster, hitting 12,000 must have been exhilarating, then going all-in and getting it all back again, right?

Six times return, how exciting and thrilling it is. Greed is truly the biggest poison in trading. This is a typical pattern of making quick money and losing even faster. It's indeed right to calm down, but on the other hand, the key is whether you can truly stop. Back when it went from 2000 to 12000, it must have been awesome. The tuition was a bit expensive, but it was worth the enlightenment.

Six times the profit turns into a loss, this is the distance between dream and reality --- Failing to take profit is greed, I have that problem too, you're not the only one --- Wait, did it fall back from 12000? What’s going on, tell me --- Alright, staying calm is correct, but don’t really lose all your motivation --- Another story of emotional trading ruining a life, I've heard too many --- Paid enough tuition, it would be good if you can learn from it next time --- The chance to turn it around is always there, the account might be gone directly, honestly that hurts --- This round of operation really dragged it down, didn't stop when it should have, went all-in and turned around to lose --- I'll just watch, no comments --- It’s good to have some awareness, keep going brother --- Playing from 2000 to 12000 and then losing back, what’s the point?

This is the gambler's mentality. The moment of 6x return sure made me float. --- Why not withdraw all funds when it was 12000? Do you have to rely on the cooling-off period to realize? --- Taking profits is really the hardest part. Greed for that small difference ended up losing everything. --- There is always a chance to turn things around, but it's pointless if your mindset collapses. --- The tuition fee is quite expensive, but it's still better than going all-in and getting liquidation directly. --- Wow, from winning streak to emotional trading, I know this process too well. --- That's right, don't be cowardly after losing, but also don't repeat the same mistakes next time. --- The key is whether you can really change your habit of chasing gains and selling in panic after calming down... --- The feeling of your account soaring is indeed addictive, no wonder you go all-in recklessly.
