$WCT recent market movements have caused me a significant loss. That morning, there was a good profit opportunity, but because I was still sleeping soundly, I watched the market slip away from my trading plan. The most frustrating part is that if I hadn't fallen asleep, I would have already secured this profit.
This incident made me rethink my trading habits. Especially those orders that are set and then left alone to sleep—what we usually call sleep orders. They sound convenient, but in reality, they carry enormous risks. The market changes so quickly that during the sleep period, the $WCT trend might have already reversed. Your take-profit and stop-loss points might not keep up with real-time market movements.
I need to change this bad habit in the future. Either stay glued to the screen or reduce my position size. Don't gamble everything on uncertainty by going all-in. After all, the core of trading is to be responsible for oneself, and profits shouldn't be given away for free.

This sleep order is really a trap. I've been caught too, and I was completely stunned when I woke up.

Sleep trading is basically a gamble with yourself... You really need to wake up
Once market sentiment shifts, your stop-loss becomes meaningless
Instead of staring at the screen, it's better to understand on-chain data, which is the right way
Going all-in on uncertainty is no different from throwing money to the house
Still sleeping when a bearish signal appears—that's called a retail mentality
The $WCT reversal was foreshadowed early on; it's just that I didn't see through the true nature of the bottoming phase at the time
The key is to admit a fact: going with the trend is far more profitable than setting a stop-loss and sleeping

Sleep trading is really a trap for new traders. I've fallen into it too, and by the time I wake up, the market has already reversed.

Sleep orders are really a trap. Once set, you want to be lazy, but the market turns around and smashes you in the face, resulting in quick losses.

This sleep order set is indeed prone to failure; the market waits for no one... Instead of regretting, better set an alarm now and keep an eye on the market.
