I just made some moves on a few positions. One was decisively stopped out, while others are still being held. This is trading—there are wins and losses, the key is to keep a proper mindset.

Some things look tempting, but the ones that truly make money are often those positions you have the patience to hold onto. This operation is a typical example—knowing when to run and when to stay.

I hope everyone can find their own rhythm in this volatile market. Sometimes the hardest part is not entering the position, but knowing when to exit completely and when to hold on.

That's so true. The hardest moment is when you cut your losses, but that's the price of being alive.

The moment of stop-loss is really satisfying; it feels much better than stubbornly holding on to losses.

Stopping loss was really painful, but that's just the rules of the game. --- Patience is real; most people die because they are unwilling to cut their losses. --- It's easy to say, but when actually trading, all ten fingers are trembling. --- The most deceptive part of the market is right here—thinking it can still go up, but ending up trapped. --- Knowing when to run is the hardest part; most people are forced out. --- This time, cutting losses was done beautifully, much smarter than many who stubbornly hold on. --- Holding and exiting seem simple, but in reality, it's a gamble with your mindset.

Stop-loss is just like this; you should have learned it a long time ago.

theoretically speaking, the exit mechanics here are basically recursive decision trees—knowing when to bridge out vs when to hodl is like optimizing cross-rollup state verification, ngl. the psychological component maps onto zero-knowledge paradigm where uncertainty reduction drives your moves.
