Trading on feel vs. trading on execution—these are two completely different games. When you let emotions drive your moves, you're gambling with sentiment. But when you focus on execution, you're playing with a plan. The difference? One leaves you chasing reactions; the other gets you ahead of the curve. Engagement might feel good in the moment, but execution is what actually moves your P&L. Stop trading the vibes. Start executing the strategy.

That's true, but the key is that most people simply can't do it... I'm the kind of person who knows to stay rational, but as soon as I see the candlestick move, my mindset collapses.

emotional trading is just whale psychology playing out in real time... the data always shows the same patterns before the dump. discipline beats sentiment every single time, not even close.

Honestly, trading based on intuition is like committing suicide. I learned this lesson the hard way early on—one FOMO wiped out half a year's profits. Now I stick to my strategy and no longer look at candlestick charts to scare myself.

That's true, but on the other hand, how many people can really do it... I am myself a cautionary example. When I see the chart going up, I want to all-in; when it drops, I start to regret. This cycle repeats itself.

That's true, but most people simply can't do it. Once that FOMO feeling kicks in, they forget everything about their plans.

That's right, I've long been feeling that trading is a trap that makes me doubt life. Now I just stick to executing the strategy, coldly following the plan, and I actually earn more steadily.

Honestly, I've heard this a thousand times, but how many people can really do it? I myself am a living example of being bankrupted by FOMO, haha.

You're not wrong, but do you know? The real challenge isn't understanding this principle, but remaining as steady as a mountain when you see the charts plummet at 3 a.m.

You're right, but how many people can really stick with it? Everyone says they have a plan, but as soon as they see a drop, they panic.

Exactly right, I've been screwed over a few times by feelings... Now I stick to the strategy and can sleep soundly even without looking at the K-line.
