Made several rounds of adding positions, stubbornly endured three days of sideways movement, and finally waited for a downward opportunity. The downturn came at the worst time—breaking below support around 2 a.m.—forcing me to go to bed. Waking up in a state of shock. This order is now stuck in a dilemma: worried about hitting the liquidation price of 33 if I hold on, but unwilling to cut losses and run, especially since I was about to break even. Yesterday, nearly $100 in fees and slippage were eaten up, and a night's sleep couldn't compare to the account fluctuations. Many veterans say that in trading, the biggest fear isn't loss, but moments when decision-making becomes impossible—knowing the direction is right, but getting stuck on the execution details.

Breaking the support level in the middle of the night is really crazy; sleep is gone, and so are the profits. That's why I don't dare to hold a heavy position; my mindset collapses too quickly. Almost broke even but still had to cut, it’s so painful. Placing orders is the most torturous thing; waiting to die or actively exiting. A $100 fee just flies away, the exchange makes all the money. When the direction is right, it’s even more uncomfortable; I understand too well how execution details can choke you. Instead of fussing, it's better to set a stop-loss and sleep peacefully, but who can really do that?

Breaking the position in the middle of the night is really incredible; sleep quality drops to zero directly.

It's about time to cut losses; dragging it out will only be a struggle with yourself.

This is me, a laid-back trader. --- Breaking the support level in the middle of the night was really incredible; my sleep quality dropped to a negative level. --- The moment the trading fee ate up 100U, I should have withdrawn. --- Getting stuck at this position is the most tormenting; it's uncomfortable to do nothing and uncomfortable to do something. --- Bro, I'm in the same state now, feeling worse than death. --- Having the right direction makes it even more painful; just one breath away. --- In one night, I lost more than I earned in three months. --- This kind of situation really tests mental resilience. --- The liquidation price is right there glaring at me; I don't even dare to move.
