Starting from 100U, a real account challenge with a small goal..

Balance 336.73U, after a few hours of fussing around, I'm still down 6U from today's highest point 😓. Today's trades were a bit confusing; the long position on NEWT was initially profitable by 20U, but I didn't take the profit and ended up with a stop loss of 65U ❗. The short position that was originally 70U in profit also wasn't closed, and I ended up losing 13U on a rebound ❗

I continue to look for short opportunities, but now I'm hesitant to short; every drop makes me regret not entering, and I couldn't hold my heavy short position.

For SYRUP, I kept looking for short opportunities but couldn't hold them because it wasn't dropping directly; when I held it, it wouldn't drop, and it kept oscillating, causing me to hit my stop loss while it continued to drop. Because my position size was too heavy, I couldn’t hold it and kept missing good entry points.

The hardest part of consistently making profits is controlling one’s desires; I always want to heavily invest to seize opportunities, but when I take small profits too early, I regret it; when I hold heavy positions, I can't maintain them, and I kick myself for missing the right moments. If I see a good opportunity but do the wrong thing, I regret it; if I see a good opportunity and do the right thing, I still end up hitting stop losses, and I continue to regret it 🦵. Do you want to double your position in a second? Not possible; it will only lead to liquidation in a second 🤣.

Perhaps enlightenment is about calming down; even small profits can lead to contentment, accepting gains with ease and losses with indifference 🙏🏻.
