A creator (The Art Of Crypto) delivers a first-person monologue about the emotional difficulty of trading, describing anger and frustration after a recent trading error. The speaker explains coping strategies (journaling, sharing) and warns against revenge trading, while noting a missed profit opportunity tied to a small mistake.
From 112,000 to 117,000 within the last hour and a half.
It was the difference between a $2,000 loss and about $20,000 in profits.
This pisses me off because I saw this coming. Good trading really goes against all of our instincts as a human. And so the way that I deal with these, like, negative emotions and it's kind of like what I'm doing now is I'm sharing about it, right? I'm journaling it. I am just trying to, you know, be at peace with the negative emotions. And don't get me wrong, I still feel absolutely terrible right now. The fact that I'm seeing bitcoin go from 112,000 and now at 117,000 within the last hour and a half, this pisses me off because I saw this coming. I knew this was coming. And because of a small mistake, it was the difference between a $2,000 loss and, like, 20k profits. Of course it's frustrating. And if there's one thing that I know is not going to help, it's by revenge trading and taking random trades right now and losing even more money because I've been there, I've done that.
