Recently, I was reviewing my trading records and discovered a very painful issue — most losses actually stem from emotions rather than the strategy itself.

Take my recent actions as an example. BTC is still moving within an upward oscillation channel on the daily chart. My thinking is very clear: buy long when it hits the lower boundary, and immediately cut losses if it breaks below the bear flag pattern. This logic is sound.

But the problem lies in execution. Last night, I opened short positions on SOL and XRP at high levels, intending to hold for a medium to long-term cycle. However, when I woke up this morning, my mind wasn’t fully alert yet, and seeing the profits, I closed the positions with one click. What really hurt was that I actually wanted to recover the losses from the day before when I was shorting, and that "quickly bouncing back" mentality completely overpowered my rational judgment.

This is the key point — when your rational mind is still dozing, your emotional brain is already controlling your fingers.

I later realized that true growth isn’t about winning or losing each trade, but about whether you can let go of the obsession with profits and losses, and focus on the trading structure itself. Take it slow, don’t rush.
