Real Trading Journal · Day 25

Starting principal: $905, with a final goal of reaching $9,000,000. The current account balance is $902, down from $910 yesterday, and it’s clearly heading downhill.

Today’s main actions were—short positions on several coins like $BANANA and $ZBT, while closing the $ICNT holdings. I initially thought this shorting wave would secure some gains, but I ended up hitting a mine instead. The funds suddenly shrank, and the mood was truly a mix of emotions.

This is the real picture of trading. Sometimes you think you’ve chosen the right direction, but the market gives you a slap in the face. But on the other hand, drawdowns are common in a trading career; the key is how to get back up from mistakes. Tomorrow, I’ll keep going, hoping to recover everything lost today.

Trading is always about continuous trial and error.

BANANA-3,02%

ZBT2,6%

ICNT20,83%

Ah, I hit a snag again, this is my daily routine. --- Short positions get hit immediately after reversing, it's truly incredible, the market just loves to play this way. --- The dream of 9 million is still far away, let's just survive today first. --- Mixed feelings, wow, this is the real portrait of a trader. --- Falling from 910 to 902, watching the balance decrease is the most painful feeling. --- Being shorted in the opposite direction, this wave really got to me, stay calm, stay calm. --- Keep fighting tomorrow, anyway, the money lost must be earned back, right? --- Progressing through trial and error, sounds inspiring, but the mindset must first hold up. --- BANANA and ZBT really played dirty this time. --- Every time I feel secure, it blows up; when will this routine ever change?

Short position hit the wrong move, this wave is indeed a bit painful, but this is the daily life of the crypto world.

905 to 9 million, what kind of luck is this haha --- Got caught again, the short position reversed and really nailed it --- Retracements come so quickly, yesterday it was 910, today it's 902 --- The market's slap is indeed painful, but that's part of the game --- Can we turn around tomorrow? Feels like every time it's just "tomorrow again" --- Why are BANANA and ZBT always so chaotic --- Trial and error, the key is whether the principal can hold until finding that profitable direction --- From 905 to 9 million, it's probably about hitting ten times or hundred times coins, just thinking about it is absurd --- That's why most people end up in the negative in the end; stop-loss is really difficult

Ha, you got caught in a trap again, huh? I totally get that feeling. This is the crypto world—every time you think you're super smart, the market just presses you down and rubs you in the dirt. Short positions crashing is really intense. Be more careful next time. 905 to 900 million... the road is still long, keep going, buddy. Pullbacks are normal; the key is whether you can withstand the mental challenge.

Short position got wrecked, now this is getting interesting Once again, overconfidence was taught a lesson by the market, I know this feeling well The 9 million dream should be put on hold for now, first push back from 902 to 950 Getting caught in a trap is really as common as eating, once used to it, it doesn’t hurt as much Yesterday was 910, today 902, this slope is a bit steep, brother Shorting BANANA is really a bit aggressive, the market doesn’t follow your script A pullback is just a pullback, the key is not to risk all your capital, fight again tomorrow

Once again, I got caught in a trap. Short positions turn against you instantly, this market really teaches people how to behave. Make it back? Bro, your account probably isn't even warmed up yet. Everyone experiences setbacks; it depends on whether you can stay strong enough to survive the next wave. From 905 to 900 million, haha, your confidence is really high. Keep it up. This round of operations was a bit rushed, I feel like emotions took over. Trial and error, just worried about losing the principal. Be careful. Losing 8 dollars in two days, I feel like I still need to refine my sense of direction.

Haha, the pullback is really fierce this time, short positions getting smashed in the face in the opposite direction --- The dream of 9 million is still far away, let's just stay alive first, buddy --- You probably had an explosion of emotions the moment you hit the雷 --- Every day is just the same story repeating --- That's just how the market is, no discussion about getting slapped in the face --- Come back tomorrow as if nothing happened today --- It's really a mix of feelings, I can only say this is routine operation --- Trial and error, the key is to survive until the day you make money

The short position got slapped in the face, that's just the daily life in the crypto world.
