Being influenced by Twitter public opinion when taking a long position affected my mindset, leading me to close early and secure profits, only to turn around and rush into a short position. What was the result? Although I didn't lose much, this operation disrupted my trading rhythm. Later, I returned to my original short plan and re-entered the market.

This lesson is very profound—how important it is to stick to your trading plan. The noise in the market is always present: Twitter, group chats, various opinions. The more you listen, the easier it is to become confused. Truly profitable traders are never thrown off by these things.

Now I am re-strategizing and trading according to my own logic.

Twitter public opinion really is a trading killer. As soon as I see callouts in the group, my mentality explodes. Only after being tricked do I understand that stop-loss and take-profit depend on your own plan; you can't just follow the crowd blindly. Although I didn't suffer a big loss this time, the rhythm got messed up. Moving forward, I still need to stick to my original logic and trade at my own pace.

That's why I set the Twitter blocking words to "should" now. I can't sleep until I don't hear it, bro.

This is a typical panic caused by liquidity gaps, and the price discrepancy illusion created by Twitter public opinion led you to take the opposite side of arbitrage. Noise trading is the most money-burning, and data doesn't lie. I checked your entry point early this morning... Slippage control was okay, but the repeated bouncing in the middle disrupted the efficiency of the entire trading pair. Sticking to the plan is easier to say than to do; when liquidity depth changes, it's easy to panic. Having the rhythm disrupted is more disgusting than losing money, I understand.

Typical risk-averse behavior, listening to too much noise ends up wasting time and resources. I've also made that mistake; in the end, I had to delete Twitter notifications to stay focused.

Typical bandwagon behavior. A single tweet can make people change their plans, which is why most people lose money. Being led by public opinion, in the end, it's the rhythm that suffers. I have deep personal experience with this. There's too much noise; you still have to trust your own logic. Otherwise, you'll always be on the path of following the trend.

This is the result of being manipulated by public opinion, the rhythm is completely disrupted, but luckily there was no major loss. I’ve always said that those people on Twitter will set the pace; at critical moments, you still have to trust your own plan.

Listening to too many trash talkers only results in losing money, serves you right. --- This is the cost of frequent trading; the rhythm is completely messed up. --- I told you, don't believe a word of what those people on Twitter say. --- Being led by public opinion is truly a dead end in trading; it needs to change. --- Getting back to your own plan is the right way; everything else is noise. --- Another story of being brainwashed by the so-called smart people in the group. --- This time I guess I paid the tuition; I hope I can hold back next time. --- Sticking to the plan sounds easy, but in critical moments, anyone can waver. --- Why do I have to look at Twitter? Just mute them directly, isn't that enough?

This is the result of listening to too many people talk. Sometimes there's more, sometimes less, and in the end, not only do you not make money, but you also get confused. You're really digging your own grave.
