GM! The essence of trading is not about emotions, but about discipline.

Remember, these two points can both be true:
- Some projects or teams may not suit your style
- But their trading performance might far exceed your expectations

I have made this mistake myself. Because I was not optimistic about MOG's community atmosphere, I chose to short. The result? I stepped into a big trap.

This taught me a harsh truth: letting personal likes and dislikes influence your trading decisions is actively losing money. Your feelings are meaningless to the market. The price of a coin won't stop rising just because you "don't like" a certain project.

As a trader, you're not a critic. Drop your biases and follow the profits. That’s the right way to approach it.

MOG-2,42%

MOG's slap in the face is indeed real; the feeling that it’s all meaningless really hits home.

MOG's wave indeed teaches a harsh lesson, prejudice can really bankrupt an account Follow the candlestick chart, don't follow your feelings, it's that simple Shorting something you don't believe in? Bro, you're giving away coins

mog that thing is indeed incredible, looking down on it only to get slapped in the face --- Discipline is right, but how many can truly achieve it --- Let go of prejudice and follow profits, easy to say but hard to do... sigh --- So the key is to learn how to make money with projects you dislike, that’s the true innocence --- The worst loss I’ve ever had was when emotions took over, and I still get angry thinking about it --- There is no morality in front of profit, this phrase should be engraved in every trader’s mind --- mog is truly a textbook-level negative example, everyone who has stepped on this pit knows that feeling --- Price fluctuations never care whether you’re happy or not, this is the most realistic part of the market

MOG's move really impressed me. Looking down on it backfired, and I was lucky not to follow the trend and short it.

That's right, emotions are really the poison of trading. I've fallen into the same trap before, just because I couldn't stand a certain project shorting, and ended up losing a lot. Now I understand that the market doesn't care about your personal preferences. Follow the profit, not your feelings, it's that simple.
