A sharp decline isn't the cruelest part. The real slaughter hides in these three areas:
First is the mental wear during sideways trading — watching the market every day without direction, this sense of helplessness can wear people down.
Second is the emotional explosion when no results are seen — in the face of the unknown, people are most vulnerable, and many self-liquidate just before a breakthrough.
Third is the decision made in the last second before dawn — just about to reach the goal, but ultimately surrendering first.
Ultimately, the real scythe isn't price volatility, but time. Time best tests a person's understanding of the market and their resolve. Those who can't hold on ultimately lose to waiting.

That hits too close to home. I'm the one who gave up the second before dawn... and I especially regret it.

Oh my, the second one really hits home. I'm that fool about to clear my holdings before a breakthrough.

Damn, that hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who almost gives up.

That's right, I especially dislike the sideways market phase; watching the market every day is simply mental torture.
Wait, did I really lose to time in the end, or did I lose to my own greed?

Wait, is what you're saying true? I think I'm right there at the moment just before dawn...

To be honest, the second pit is the most deadly... Watching it happen, your mindset just collapses, and then as soon as you sell, it goes up. I've seen this happen too many times.

That hits too close to home. I'm the guy who gave up the last second before dawn. Now watching the market bounce back, I'm bleeding from the nose.
