#ETH巨鲸增持 $ETH The position I took earlier around 2800 was finally sold at 2813, pocketing 2840u. To be honest, my original plan was to aim for 3000, but I couldn't hold on—same old problem, as soon as I make some profit I want to cash out.

Now, seeing the market sentiment warming up, I feel like Ethereum might still have some room to grow. But this round of trading has served as a reminder: once you set your strategy, you have to stick to it; otherwise, you’ll keep wavering between not holding on and chasing the top.

Anyone had similar experiences? How do you usually balance greed and fear?

This is me. There are very few people who wait patiently from 2800 to 3000; most of them sell as soon as it hits 2813. When you make a profit, you want to run. Frankly, it's because you're not confident. It's a mindset issue—taking profit is also a skill.

Haha, that's just how I am—buy in at 2800, sell at 2813, always doing the same thing. Not being able to hold is really a chronic issue. It always feels like 3000 is just within reach, but I can never catch up. My method is to set a take-profit point before placing the order, then put my phone aside and stop watching the market. Anyway, looking at it doesn't change my mindset. You've actually already made a profit this time, so don't overthink it. If 3000 really comes, we'll just set up again next time.

Bro, this one was really a bit of a shame. Sold at 2813, but it bounced back... This is a classic case of a mental block—set a target but can't hold on, always just miss out on making big profits.

If I had known earlier, I would have held tight. Selling at 2813 was really a bit too early. --- That's why I set take profit and stop loss, otherwise things can really get messy. --- Bro, this is a mindset issue. People who run after earning a little will never get the big gains in the end. --- I just want to know when I can see 2840u. Do you regret it now? --- Poor strategy execution is indeed a common problem. I'm working on fixing this bad habit too. --- Calling it flexible sounds nice, but actually, it just means you can't hold on. Get it? --- I'm way too familiar with this feeling of regret. It happens every time. --- The key is to trust your own judgment, otherwise, don't bother making long-term plans. --- Balance? It's just frantically struggling between greed and fear. --- Selling at 2813 just made life harder. Might as well have set a firm target from the start.

Ah, this is really a classic case of "quitting while you're ahead" syndrome. Sold at 2813 and then it kept going up—this is the most frustrating part. Should've just set a take-profit point and gone to sleep, but insisting on manual operations is just self-torture. Was so close to 3000 but just couldn't hold on; this feeling really sucks... Next time I have to be more ruthless. The strategy should be either execute everything or don't set it at all. I've long realized that changing your mind halfway is the main reason for losing money. Basically, it's greed and fear fighting each other, and in the end, it's always your own wallet that suffers. I totally get you, bro, but 2840u isn't a loss either. It's mainly just hard to get over it mentally.

honestly if you'd run a basic regression analysis on your exit patterns, you'd see a 0.87 correlation coefficient between your "discipline" and panic selling. statistically significant btw. the real question isn't how to balance greed and fear—it's why you're not using predetermined stop-loss algorithms like literally every institutional player. but sure, emotional trading is peak retail energy.

2840 in hand is already great, don't be greedy and never satisfied. I have this problem too; every time I want to wait for the peak, I end up losing instead. Set a take-profit point and stick to it no matter what, that's better than anything.

Haha, it's another story of wanting to earn more after making a profit. I totally get it, bro. If I can't hold, I end up chasing the top, and when I chase the top, I end up selling at a loss. I really need to break this vicious cycle.
