$RIVER's this transaction, I am a bit convinced of myself. Originally, I carefully set the level at 17.55 to short, but in actual operation, I still couldn't resist the temptation. Seeing others open a short at 13.5 and expecting to be liquidated at 15.7, I directly followed near the liquidation price — the result is obvious, a complete loss.
On the other hand, if I had really executed according to the initial plan, operating within the preset range of 17.55, this wave would actually be a profitable situation. Just like that, a position with expected gains was turned into a loss, and the key isn't that the market was wrong, but that my self-control wasn't in place. Those impulsive decisions to follow the trend midway often turn out to be the most painful lessons in the market.

This is a typical order chasing hell; I can't help but follow when I see others making money.

Following the crowd is really the biggest poison in trading. I can't help but follow when I see others making money... That's just my nature.

Following the trend is basically digging your own grave. Looking at your recent actions, what does it say? It just means your mindset isn't there yet.
