Messing up. Really messing up. I finally managed to bring my account to $60, but after seeing the TGE might drop, I couldn't help but double down and go all in. Who knew a quick turn would bring me right back to where I started. Reflecting on this loss, the most painful part is that I gradually broke my trading discipline. I had already set rules not to hold positions overnight, but when I saw the decline, I softened and held onto the position until dawn. As a result, I was stopped out at the open. This lesson is quite deep—trading rules are not just for show; sticking to them is the bottom line for survival. Especially with volatile coins like BNB, you must keep your hands in check.

Haha, forget it. Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. I'm also like that.

Being soft-hearted is a fatal flaw; I’ve learned that this time. --- Rules are rules; there are no exceptions. --- The night before TGE is the easiest time to break the rules; I’ve fallen for it too. --- $60 to zero; this is the cost of not cutting losses. --- Holding a position overnight is a deadly test, especially with volatile coins like BNB. --- Next time you see a drop, stay calm for five minutes before acting. --- Another trader manipulated by emotions. --- Discipline > talent; this time I guess I paid the tuition. --- A single decision led to a crash, indicating the position size was simply too heavy. --- I just want to know if you will make the same mistake again next time.

You have truly lost to yourself; discipline is easy to talk about. --- Another "I'll just take a quick look" story, and the account ended up gone. --- 60 bucks back to zero, this wave was a textbook-level suicidal trade. --- The rule of not holding positions overnight is not just for show; I've also fallen for this. --- I also wanted to buy the dip during the TGE, but luckily I didn't throw money in; it seems you took the fall for me. --- Being too soft-hearted can be deadly, especially in the crypto world. --- For volatile coins like BNB, set your stop-loss and run; don't wait until the market opens and find everyone is gone.

Haha, no way, just looking at it hurts. Discipline is really harder than making money. --- This is called greed. There's no surviving if you buy the dip before TGE. --- From 60 to 0, brother, you need to work on your mental preparation. --- Heavy holding is easy to say but hard to stick to. I've been taught that lesson too. --- No one can withstand BNB's volatility, the key is to have an exit plan. --- The pain points are quite accurate, but we'll make the same mistakes next time. We're all like that.

Being soft-hearted is the original sin; rules are written for you to follow, not just to look at.
