Honestly, fear is holding me back more than anything else.



If this were my main account with real capital:

1. I'd cut my position sizing in half
2. I'd dial back the leverage significantly
3. I'd probably be glued to my screen, hitting close on every micro-pump

Let's say I catch a trade that runs $100. On a testnet mindset, I ride it out, maybe lock in larger gains. But with actual money on the line? I'd probably exit at the first $10 profit and call it a win. That fear response kicks in and contracts your risk appetite real quick.

The psychological gap between testing and live trading is real. Most traders don't realize how much their decision-making shifts when skin is in the game.
