Recently, I've been tortured by the market. Going long on Ethereum got me trapped, then switching to short Bitcoin Cash resulted in a frustrating loss. Just when I finally got out of the trap, I got stopped out at the bottom. Watching my account plunge, my mentality completely shattered. These days, I can't sleep well at night, waking up every now and then, staring at the candlestick charts on my phone, afraid of missing a rebound opportunity, yet also afraid of the market crashing further. Trading really tests a person. Doing the opposite of the trend is one thing, but recovering from a trap also requires resisting the impulse to close positions immediately. Finding that balance is incredibly difficult.
