Day 10/365

Missed out on a juicy trade? That FOMO itch hits different. You start eyeing the charts again, fingers hovering over the buy button, convinced you gotta jump in before the ship sails.

Stop right there.

This is where most traders bleed money—chasing ghosts and forcing positions out of desperation. The market's massive, opportunities cycle through constantly. One missed play isn't the end.

Stick to your edge. Trade only what your strategy allows. Only when probabilities stack in your favor. Emotion-driven moves? That's how you turn one missed trade into three losing ones.

Let that trade go. Wait for the next signal. The disciplined ones always make it farther.

Talking about strategies on paper is easy, but few can actually hold back their fingers... I'm one of those who often act impulsively.

Nah, this sentence really hit me. It’s really always like this... Watching the chart with my finger trembling, only to realize after losing three trades.

The painful lessons learned from bankrupt DouDou's firsthand experience—it's all over when your finger trembles on the mouse.
