The real trap? Missing the bottom because you're still stuck in last quarter's downtrend—that PTSD keeping you sidelined while the market rips higher. By the time you convince yourself it's safe, you've already given up gains you didn't need to miss.



Here's the thing though: that's just one move. Markets don't stop generating setups just because you flinched on one. Every single day brings fresh opportunities. Sure, if we keep pushing up, the entries change, but they don't disappear. New levels form, new breakouts emerge. The game never stops—you just need to stay ready for what comes next instead of dwelling on what you passed.

Honestly, the PTSD analogy is spot on... I'm the kind of idiot who, after getting trapped, is afraid and doesn't dare to buy even when it hits the daily limit up. But then I think... the next opportunity will definitely come, there's no need to obsess over missing this one. The question is, how can I avoid making the same mistake again?

Honestly, mental preparation is the hardest part.

Poor mental preparation will make all the opportunities useless.

Ah, this is my daily routine. Missing out on a wave and just lying flat for three months.

Constantly obsessing over past mistakes is really the biggest trap, lol

Basically, it's about mental preparation. Missing one wave isn't the end of the world; when the next wave comes, don't retreat again.

Oh wow, the psychological trauma of being trapped is even more painful than losing money.
