Do not engage in dubious and murky things if you do not feel the coefficient of comparison between your happiness and sorrow.
A couple of days ago, before going to bed, every third post in my feed was about $ALPACA , and it was clearly visible that almost everyone was confidently expecting its imminent decline.
As my experience shows, the small asset market often moves contrary to the expectations of the average person. I believe this happens because the total value of assets in a small market is not that great, and there are no sharp inflows of value; that is, the market is simply forced to move at least locally against the expectations of the average person, otherwise the value would have to come from nowhere to cover the income of this very average person.
So, before going to bed, I placed my $10 bet on a price increase. I set a stop at -60%, if I'm not mistaken, and a take-profit at 200%.
If the price had fallen, I wouldn’t have been upset by a $6 loss, and if it had risen, I would have been pleased and manually closed the position at market price.
As it turns out, the price rose enough for me to hit the stop-loss and get a bonus to my good mood in the morning.
Enjoy small joys and do not expose yourself to the risk of sorrow🥰
