I took another hit on Ethereum today—shouldn’t have added to my short at 2962, but got greedy and increased my position; then when it rebounded to 3022, I impulsively shorted again. Although I managed to make a little profit by luck, these impulsive trades are really dangerous. My rhythm is completely off.
Lesson learned, I’ve set two strict rules for myself: 1. Never hold a position overnight. 2. Completely quit altcoins. These junk tokens are too volatile and impossible to control.
This is the last time in my life I touch altcoins—no exceptions. For now, I just want to rest and reset for tomorrow. In trading, discipline is more important than skill.

Another useless innovation—couldn't resist the urge. In theory, I should have cut my losses, but in reality, I added another position.

Another day of greedily increasing positions, I know that feeling.
Always saying to quit altcoins, but when the next rally comes, I just can't help myself, haha.
Holding positions overnight is brutal, my sleep quality is terrible.
Discipline is easy to talk about, but sticking to it is hell.
This ETH pullback is really torturous, being quick to act comes at a price.

Greed is the biggest killer in trading, I know that feeling.

Altcoins really are money pits, quitting them is the right choice.
---
How many days can you actually stick to your so-called iron rules, haha.
---
Still in the losing grind after 16 days, keep it up, brother.
---
Holding positions overnight is just gambling, you'll pay the price sooner or later.
---
Itchy hands are even harder to cure than losing money.
---
The Fed cut rates, ETH tried to follow the trend and got schooled instead.
---
"Never hold overnight" really should be written on the wall as a daily reminder.

This greed really needs to be fixed. Adding to your position is just suicide.

It's the same. I just can't control myself; I only feel comfortable if my orders are in there 24/7.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but truly sticking to it usually requires repeated failures to really learn the lesson. Keep it up.
