I've truly seen what it means to have a "bad luck." After a whole year of trading, I finally managed to turn a profit from a loss, squeezing out some gains with great effort. I took the opportunity to visit my hometown, only for the market to start challenging me—driving five hours through snow overnight back to the trading room, only to find that from 7 PM until now, my entire position has collapsed.

The most heartbreaking part is: even though there were still profitable trades in my holdings, as soon as I left, they started to plunge; when I couldn't resist and re-entered the market, I was immediately hammered. Positions took turns attacking; I thought a quick rise would happen, but it turned into a rally; I just finished setting up my trades, and then there was a collective crash. Watching my account turn from green to red right before my eyes, I was finally forced to cut losses.

This is my new understanding of the "market law": the more you operate, the deeper your losses; the more chaotic your mindset, the more the price moves against you.

Haha, got caught. This is what you call a contrarian indicator in life.

That's Murphy's Law — whenever you look at the market, it moves in the opposite direction; when you don't look, it rises instead.

Haha brother, you're just having bad luck. This is a classic case of overtrading. I've seen this curse too many times. Once you start trading frequently, the market seems to have eyes and will specifically counter you. The key moment is when you exit the position; that's when your patience is truly tested. The more you want to make up for losses, the easier it is to fall deeper. My current experience is that if you can't see clearly, just lie low. Compared to frequent trading, you'll actually survive longer.

lmao the classic inverse correlation between your portfolio and your presence... actually, empirically speaking, this is just selection bias masquerading as bad luck. you got fomo'd into emotional trading—fundamentally flawed strategy dressed up as market vendetta

Ha, this is the legendary "rise as soon as you leave, crash as soon as you come back" law. --- Bro, your recent moves are truly helping the market by acting as a reverse indicator. --- Rushing back in five hours of snowstorm just to do a live liquidation—how dedicated is that? --- The key is that you've realized the truth but still have to keep losing money—that's the most brutal part. --- The moment my account turned from green to red, I felt like I saw my future. --- Don't say it's bad luck; it's clearly because you're too active. --- Market: As long as you don't move, I won't crash you. --- This guy treats holding positions like raising a child; it's not good when he leaves. --- The cost of a five-hour drive was a total collapse—made me laugh out loud. --- A chaotic mindset and opposite price movements—this is my daily routine in crypto trading.

Ha, this is what you call "Schrödinger's Position." You see it and it drops; you act and it crashes. I know this routine too well. Leave and it rises back; stay and it collapses. The market is really targeting you. It's hilarious. Five hours of driving just to see the account bleeding with my own eyes. How self-torturing is that? At the moment of cutting losses, you should realize that not watching the market often is the best way to stop losses. Whether you're lucky or not, let's not talk about that. The key is to maintain the right mindset. Holding your position and doing nothing is the way to go.

Bro, this is the classic curse of "it rises as soon as you leave, and crashes as soon as you come back."
