It was 3 AM and I was still watching the market. Originally, my account was already at rock bottom, I used the last 39U as living expenses to take a gamble, but unexpectedly I made money continuously and managed to push it up to 175U. I kept my cool and withdrew 120U in two transactions—this time I finally learned my lesson.

I still have 55U left in my account to keep playing. Tonight, I made 18 out of 20 trades, only hitting the stop loss twice. To be honest, my feel for the market has really come back. But looking back, that morning's trading was a complete mindset explosion: I directly blew my account in the morning, losing 1000U, and when my account was down to 64U, I stubbornly went on a winning streak of over ten trades, watching it climb to 360U... In the end, I got too impulsive and went all in, and of course, it went back to zero.

Now that I calm down, I realize it's not that the technology is lacking, but that I was too eager to recover my losses. If this mental demon is not conquered, no matter how much I make, I will ultimately have to pay it back.

Mindset is truly the biggest enemy. No matter how good your skills are, if your mindset collapses, it’s all for nothing.

It’s the same old mindset game again—you make it back, but end up losing it anyway. In the end, it all comes down to greed.

Mindset really is unbeatable; any money you win back is just an illusion.

If you can't get past this mental barrier, no matter how strong your skills are, they will be useless.

This mentality issue is indeed a chronic problem; I've seen too many people crash because they wanted to quickly recoup investment. The thrill of consecutive wins often leads to an all-in, which is gambling, not trading. That 120U was really smart; at least this time, you didn't lose it all back. This inner demon is harder to shake off than anything else; you have to forcefully change this habit. The loss of that 1000U in the early session feels really unfair, but it actually comes down to a moment of thought. Now being calm is actually more important than making money. Consider this a tuition fee; let's see if you can really stick to this rhythm going forward. People say it's easy to know but hard to do; the real difficulty lies in execution. Every time I reflect like this, but when the market rises next time, I get confused again, right?

The mindset is truly incredible; the gains can never surpass the losses caused by inner demons.

The mindset is truly the biggest enemy in trading. To be honest, seeing you flip from 39U to 175U and then rationally cash out is already much better than most people. But that cycle of getting liquidated and going all in... Brother, that's typical chasing losses mentality. Once you lose 1000U, your mind starts to get cloudy. Wait, you say your feel has come back... I've heard that too many times, and often the next second is just another round of chaotic all in. To really break this mental demon, you have to stop. It's not about stopping trading; it's about stopping the mindset of using your capital to recover losses while trading. It's three in the morning and you're still here; I think you should get some sleep.

At three in the morning, this state is the easiest to have an accident. Once your mindset is messed up, it's all over. Hitting 175U from 39U is really absurd, but going all in that time is truly deserved. This thing called inner demons is much harder than technology. To put it nicely, it's called greed; to put it harshly, it's a gambler's mentality. Proposing 120U is a sign of clarity; I'm smarter than I was yesterday.

This mentality is really a common affliction of suckers; to put it bluntly, it's just a desire to quickly recover losses.

This is a typical "wanting to double the profit after earning, and wanting to go all in after losing" death loop. --- Liquidated again? Man, you really need to fix your mindset. --- Thinking that cashing out in two parts is rational? I see that 55U of yours will soon be offered back. --- Feeling it again? Wake up, that's a gambler's illusion. I've seen too many stories end like this. --- From 1000U Rekt to 64U and still dare to go all in, that's a blown mindset; this is heart attack level operation. --- Hitting 360U without taking profits, but going all in instead? Bro, that's not a technical issue; that's a gambling addiction. --- Sounds pretty clear-headed, but I bet five bucks that the next time the market comes, you'll forget all these words again. --- Staring at the charts at three in the morning already shows your mindset is broken; any gains will be hollow. --- Still going all in when the borrowing rate is high, it's not just a mental issue; you really want to give away money. --- Being able to write such a clear review shows you still have hope, but to be honest, most people forget it right after writing.
