Why can't you help but stare at the market?

Have you ever experienced this frustrating situation: you clearly set a stop-loss, and in your mind, you repeatedly tell yourself “I won’t look anymore,” but somehow you end up opening the trading app again, and even lying in bed at night, you find yourself scrolling through candlestick charts, almost like you’re addicted?

To put it simply, it boils down to a few points. First, you’ve invested too much money - it might be half a month’s salary or even savings you’ve accumulated over a long time, and if you lose it, next month’s rent is at stake. In such times, where’s the sense of security? Especially when playing with high leverage, the liquidation price is right in front of you, and even a slight shake in the market can make your heart race, fearing your account might go to zero in the next second.

Then there’s the psychological warfare element of trading. When the market goes up, you’re afraid of a pullback; when it goes down, you fear getting stuck; during fluctuations, it’s even more torturous, making you anxious enough to pull your hair out. Staying up all night watching the market becomes the norm; when you lose, you get agitated, wanting to leverage more to recover, but you end up sinking deeper. But think about it, when you’re so exhausted that your eyes are dark, your mind is already a mess, how can your trading not go awry?

Want to break this bad habit? It’s simple in theory. Don’t have too full a position; if you can sleep soundly while fully invested, that’s a miracle. Ordinary people can’t handle this kind of stimulation; living is better than anything else; find more things to do, take your wife and kids shopping, hang out with friends for some skewers and beer, isn’t that better than staring at candlesticks and dealing with high blood pressure?

Remember, the crypto market isn’t your family business, and the market won’t improve just because you’re watching closely. Relax a bit; there’s no end to making money, but if your mindset collapses, you’ll truly have nothing left.
