Today I want to share something very real — how I learned to calm my emotions in both bull and bear market. In the beginning, I used to get extremely greedy during green candles. When the price pumped, I always felt like “I’m missing out if I don’t buy more.” And in red market, I panicked early, closed positions too fast, and then regretted later. This emotional roller-coaster destroyed many entries and exits for me.

But slowly, I learned something very important — the market rewards discipline, not emotion.

In bull market — I learned to take partial profits. Not close 100% in one take, but scale out slowly. Also, bull market makes you feel like “this pump will never end.” But the truth is — it always ends. So I keep my head clear: trend is friend, but greed is enemy.

In bear market — I learned patience. Sometimes sitting out is a valid strategy. Not every dip needs instant long entry. Sometimes, waiting for confirmation is smarter than “catching a knife.” Bear market is when the market tests your mental strength. Being calm here is more important than trying to be a “hero trader.”

I track every trade — not just profit & loss, but the reason behind the trade. After 50-100 trades, you start seeing your patterns. You understand your own weak points. And the best growth comes when you fix the weaknesses in your own strategy.

My journey is still going, but I now trade with more control, more reasoning, and less emotion. That is how you truly grow as a trader.
