I tried it once. I’d clearly set a stop-loss, yet the moment I saw the drawdown, I started telling myself comforting things: wait a bit longer—the on-chain signals still haven’t turned bad… To put it plainly, I just didn’t want to admit I picked the wrong choice. Later, that wave dragged on and only got more painful. Once you add up the trading fees and the cost of time, it turns out you lose more than if you simply cut it off—like dragging out a breakup without making things clear, until all that’s left is torturing each other.

Now I trust my own line of discipline even more: when the wind picks up, descend and land first—survive first, then we’ll talk. I also look at those on-chain data tools, but whether they lag or are easy to be misled, I can at most use them as signposts; I won’t treat them as a steering wheel. That’s all for now. I’ll see how the wind shifts tomorrow.
