Well written, I have also experienced the feeling of heart-stopping. When I was 22, my method for trading contracts was very simple, based on positive news and valuation systems. What sets me apart from others is my ability to calculate valuations, especially for DeFi projects. By combining news and data, I can quickly make judgments. I leverage to gain returns from valuation regression. I don't know what a market maker is, nor have I analyzed potential opposing positions, nor have I thought about what the exit strategy is. Path dependence makes me more accepting of the value system. I can see the risks of $luma, but I don't know when it will explode. There are some coins whose ZP I can't see, not based on the token system. I opened the trading software and saw a loss of -$20,000, and my heart tightened slightly. I just stared at my phone, watching the numbers fluctuate little by little. It was too torturous; I thought maybe playing a game would help? -28000 I couldn't calm down, there was no rebound. Should I bet on a rebound to minimize losses, or was it just a whim? I added a bit more to my position. I added three times, seemingly without reason. I didn't dare to add more; I just stared at it, lying in bed. The network lagged, so I kept scrolling down. The losses increased, and I felt my heart tighten a little more with each loss. At 3 AM, I wanted to call someone, but couldn't find anyone; it felt like a cry for help. It was a feeling of wanting to hit myself for the anger and helplessness of not being able to turn back time. I also had the impulse to yell at @cz_binance to return my money. I was liquidated at 47k, lying in bed unable to close my eyes. I was alone, with no one, no way out. In the end, I could only reconcile with myself. Now I see some friends often asking: "Have you left? What do you see?" I can only say to look at the data and expectations. If the actual results do not match expectations, there must be some information I overlooked. Contracts do not guarantee victory; if it meets expectations, you should earn, and if not, that's also normal. Use a slightly deeper win rate than others combined with position size to earn that little bit of money. Like a machine, devoid of inner feelings.

This resonates with many people. But resonance and repetition are two different things. I hope you can calm your mind and ask yourself.
