After trading for so long, I finally understand that what truly traps you is never the market itself, but your own wavering heart. When macroeconomic data like US non-farm payrolls falling short of expectations or trade deficits widening are released, many people start doubting their judgment when they see coins like BCH and Solana. My BCH short position is still in my hands. To be honest, after experiencing several big swings, I understand even more — those who can hold on are often not the ones who predicted correctly the most times, but those who didn't let their emotions hijack their decisions. The market is always testing your patience. As long as you haven't truly given up, the opportunity to turn things around will naturally come.

Mindset really is more valuable than skills. I just get too easily scared by myself. Exactly, there are so many people wavering on BCH this time. Persistence is the key. The phrase "emotional hijacking decision" really hit me... It's always like this when I mess up. As long as I don't give up, there's still a chance. I will remember this.

That's right, mindset is the biggest enemy. I used to be the same—whenever I saw the candlestick patterns fluctuate, I would start doubting myself, resulting in repeatedly cutting losses, only to realize later that the market hadn't moved far at all.

Ultimately, it's all about mindset. I've been holding my BCH position for a long time, and I'm really close to going crazy myself.

You're absolutely right. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy, more deadly than any technical analysis. --- I also experienced that BCH wave; those who cut losses all regret it. Still, you have to trust your plan. --- It sounds very motivational, but it’s really like that. Only after experiencing a few margin calls do you understand. --- The key is to have discipline. Don’t get scared and move recklessly just because of one or two data points. --- The market really loves to torment those with poor psychological resilience, that’s the truth. --- On non-farm day, I saw a bunch of people collapsing in the group. Honestly, it’s still because of over-leverage. --- Those who persevere will indeed win. The problem is most people can’t hold on until that moment. --- Emotions are hard to control. No matter how good your skills are, it’s useless. I used to lose money like that. --- Not giving up is definitely important, but it’s even more important to have a stop-loss point. Don’t just hold on blindly. --- There’s nothing wrong with what you said, but actually executing it is really difficult, especially when you’re caught in a position.
