I almost got wrecked on TIMI and POWER today.

While trading TIMI, I got caught in a 14% dip and stubbornly refused to cut my losses—watched it drop from 0.582 all the way to 0.51 before finally panic selling, instantly losing $200. Still feeling upset, I was browsing the feed and saw someone shouting about POWER skyrocketing; by then, the price had already hit the 0.28 ceiling.

On impulse, I opened a short.

Closed at 0.247, which happened to make up for the TIMI loss. Right after taking profit, it bounced back to 0.248, and I hurried to close at 0.2506—right after I sold, it shot straight back up to 0.26. Almost drove me crazy.

Honestly though, even though this round was nerve-wracking, at least I managed to recover. Sometimes the market is just this wild—one moment you’re losing money and cursing, the next you get lucky and claw it all back.

Haha, this is the daily life in the crypto world. The mental state is so volatile that turning things around all depends on luck.

Damn, this is the fate of intraday trading—chasing highs and getting squeezed, taking profits and then seeing a rebound. The tricks the whales use are always the same. --- That TIMI stop-loss was way too rushed. Should've held the 0.51 support, but my mindset collapsed first. --- But that POWER short really saved me. When luck's on your side, take the profits—don’t get greedy. --- Honestly, it all comes down to poor risk management. Getting squeezed for 14 points means there was no stop-loss plan. Next time, I have to execute ruthlessly. --- Balancing my mindset like this is alright, but I can't let this comeback get to my head. Gotta be even more cautious with the next trade. --- Making up losses by catching rebounds sounds nice, but it's really just gambling. The odds are never really in our favor. --- That POWER 0.248 order was really risky. As soon as it refreshed, it rebounded—missed it by just one tick. --- The problem is, it looks like you still haven’t learned when to stop. Trading on emotions like this is a debt you’ll have to pay back sooner or later.

Haha, this is what you call a sucker move—you lose money and have to rely on a reverse order to make a comeback.

Haha, this is the true source of joy in crypto—a market that's sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

Emma, that was really a close call, but you managed to turn it around. I truly admire that.

Haha, I told you so, this is just everyday life in the crypto world, the feeling of licking blood off the knife's edge. What's frustrating is that just when you're most desperate, it gives you a breath of hope. Alright, looks like your luck is not bad, but don’t gamble like this next time. This false alarm really almost gave me a heart attack. Damn, just closed my position and it rebounded—I know exactly how that feels. Lose 200, then earn 200, all you gain is a bunch of heart attacks. Your operation is like turning from unlucky to lucky, hilarious. Just want to ask, does anyone still dare to touch POWER now? I don’t get why you guys are still playing with such high-volatility stuff, every day is like a horror movie. Looks like I really underestimated how magical this market can get.

This is gambler's mentality—refusing to cut losses. Just another lucky comeback, really risky. That POWER move was indeed dangerous, almost got wiped out. The moment you cut your losses is the hardest, I understand. Luck is unreliable, things will eventually go wrong. This kind of operation is way too risky, bro.
