Damn the market, the rise didn't hold for long before falling back. But I still believe there's opportunity, it's just a bit too early. Every time this happens, I get restless and want to trade more frequently. When inner discipline isn't strong enough, external force must step in—fill up spare time, stay grounded, and keep a positive mindset. Dates are all set, haha! Recently, I finally have time for drawing, writing, reviewing, posting a few YouTube videos, dancing, and drinking 🤔🫠

(For married friends, pretend I didn't say this and skip ahead)
I accidentally discovered this mental trick. At the time, my trading performance was terrible, and my decisions were basically disaster-level.

After that, 'going on dates' almost became a cheat module in my trading system.

The core reason behind impulsive trading, frankly, has nothing to do with charts or strategies.
It's that you're trapped in a mental tunnel fighting against yourself.

Your attention will be firmly locked onto an anchor point, usually the candlestick chart.
Then emotions start looping: greed, panic, hope, regret—feeding each other.
