Many times, we understand that the market cycle has come to an end, yet we still want to make a profit from it. This is the greed of human nature.
When you watch the live broadcast, your analytical logic is clear and your judgment is calm. Once you leave the screen, you become a machine driven by instinct—unconstrained by reason, only focused on chasing that elusive profit.
So what’s the result? If I lose, I feel unwilling, and then I enter the market again; lose again, and enter again. One failure after another, my account is shrinking, and my mentality is collapsing. I have experienced the despair of losing three trades in a row, and that’s when I truly understood: controlling risk is far more important than pursuing profit.
Now I have finally calmed down. These lessons were bought with real money, and they were very expensive.

After losing three trades in a row, I almost reverted back to my original self. Now I have to hold my hands down while watching the market.

You're absolutely right, I'm just that "fool who is awake while watching the live stream, but gets carried away as soon as I leave the screen."
