There are two recent trading opportunities. The trend is quite clear, but I kept hesitating whether to take action. In the end, I decided to open a SOL position, and I didn't expect such a fierce rally. My original take-profit was set quite conservatively, and now I feel a bit regretful.

This experience made me realize a few issues:

**First, how costly is it not to monitor the market in real-time.** If I hadn't placed an order and instead watched the market closely, I might have already secured more profit. In the future, as long as I have time to monitor, I should operate in real-time and not rely entirely on stop-loss and take-profit orders.

**Second, the psychological shadow from a previous trade can poison the next one.** Last night, I missed a BTC move due to hesitation, which made me want to open a position on Bitcoin. This unwillingness directly affected my decision on SOL. Although SOL eventually made a profit, the regret was very uncomfortable. I even considered reversing and shorting—this is definitely a dangerous signal.

**Third, don’t let emotions from one trade ruin the entire trading rhythm.** People tend to overreact to recent experiences, magnifying short-term feelings as if everything is a matter of life and death. I often forget the long-term trading principles and get entangled in the regrets of the last two trades. Actually, my reason for opening SOL was solid—market conditions were strong, and SOL follows BTC; the percentage change might differ, but the direction is the same.

**The most important mindset adjustment:** Don’t blame yourself for missed profits. When I opened the position, I was most concerned about this. We don’t have a god’s-eye view. If it hadn’t been a sharp rally but a crash, I would now be grateful that I only opened one position, which reduces pressure significantly. So, there’s really no need to deeply regret "things that shouldn’t have been gained."
