Why do I still chase high prices even though I know I will lose?

I know the risks are high at the peak, and I know this bullish candle might just be a trap to lure buyers in.

But when the price spikes up, and I see others making money in that moment, I can't control myself...

I know I should wait for a pullback, I should wait for confirmation signals, but every time the market moves, I feel: "If I don't chase this wave, I might miss out again."

Then I jump in, and three minutes later, it peaks. Stop-loss? I can't bear to cut it. Hold the position? I'm afraid it will continue to drop. In the end, my account just gets another scar from a loss.

Later, I seriously thought about why this happens. It's not that my skills are lacking. It's not that I haven't learned candlestick patterns. It's not even a lack of experience.

To put it simply, it's one word: "Greed."

Fear of missing out, fear of being left behind, fear of others making money while I don’t.

What’s scarier is that my account is too small, I can't afford to wait, I can't afford to endure, I can't afford to be steady.

Only when I look back do I realize: real opportunities never force you to chase them emotionally.

The big money-making trades are always the ones you wait for, not the ones you rush into.

As I write this, I don’t want to preach. Because I myself have learned this slowly after countless times of chasing high prices and suffering huge losses.

If you've been feeling this way recently, it's actually quite normal.

It’s just that whether you want to continue down this path depends on the choice you make next.
