After a whole night of watching the market, this is all I gained, and I really feel disappointed. On the technical side, the EMA on the 15-minute and 1-hour charts are both trending downward, indicating that the market is indeed weakening. When the price first touched 3188, I didn't act decisively and still held onto some hope. As a result, I was pulled back to 3210 and had to rush to exit, then I completely missed the subsequent downtrend, watching it drop all the way to 3165. I didn't catch any of this large decline. What's even more painful is that I opened a long position near 3181, only to get trapped. This lesson is quite significant; even with clear technical signals in front of me, I still procrastinated. I didn't exit when I should have, and I entered when I should have stayed out. Trading requires execution, just watching without action is pointless.

This is a typical case of "seeing the right direction but missing out on the gains." The most frustrating part isn't the loss, but watching the market slip away right in front of your eyes.

Bro, this wave is really a textbook-level negative example. The signals are all obvious, yet you're still hesitating. I totally understand this kind of frustration.

This is the cost of armchair strategizing. The signals are clear, yet still hesitant. When it's time to cut, don't be soft. Having ideas alone is useless; you need to be ruthless in execution. That move at 3188 was truly a waste, it hurts.

This is a typical case of knowing how to read but not how to act; the signals are right in front of you, yet you still hesitate. I really understand this kind of frustration.

ngl the math on your entry points doesn't really check out... you're chasing signals *after* they've already printed, classic pattern i've tracked a thousand times. the real issue? you're treating technicals like gospel when fundamentally the liquidity structure was already flawed at 3210. unsustainable stop-hunt setup honestly.

Stayed up all night watching the market, lost as much as you did, really exhausting.
