Moonshot Project Trading Summary

To be honest, this round of operations can only be considered a passing grade. There are two main reasons: first, at the time, my understanding of this project was insufficient, and I was still in the exploratory stage, so I was quite cautious with my entries and did not allocate a heavy position. Second, there were execution issues — I was too greedy in the early stages and too impatient later on. I should have held my position but instead closed early, and I even cut losses during the pullback, only to realize the mistake afterward.

Although the account ultimately ended with a positive return, this limited gain came with many regrets. The big opportunity was right in front of me, but due to lack of knowledge and operational mistakes, I only captured a small part of it. This is the reality of trading — there is often a huge gap between knowing and doing.

Another classic story of "knowing but not doing" in cutting losses, haha, so true. This kind of passing grade is the most heartbreaking—clearly making money but feeling uncomfortable inside. Lack of understanding + chaotic execution, Moonshot this time indeed has regrets, but the reflection is quite deep. Basically, it's just that the position was too light and the courage was small, ending up feeling like not being able to eat enough. Cutting losses during a pullback is really a genius move, always the same. Although it shows a positive return, it feels like a loss, and that's the most uncomfortable part of trading. Missing out on Moonshot is just missing out; the key is whether the next one can be done well. Next time, can I dare to hold a heavy position from the start? There's indeed a huge gap between knowing and doing, and this sentence hit the mark. It's good to have reflection; it's much better than those who keep regretting.

This is a typical combination of greed and impatience, and in the end, you can only get the broth. I should have done more research before taking action. Cutting losses is the most painful, especially when you realize you were wrong later. Passing grades are passing grades, at least there's no loss. Poor cognition is really the biggest pitfall in trading; knowing it is useless. Why didn't I just endure a little longer, sigh. Another textbook-level "knowing but not doing."

Selling at a loss and liquidating positions again, this wave is indeed a bit regrettable. To be honest, small tokens like moonshot are the easiest to get caught in traps. Cognition and execution are truly two different things; knowing is easy, doing is hard. If I had known earlier, I would have held on tightly, but I only reacted at the last minute. Fortunately, I didn't lose money, which is much better than most people. This is the daily life of Web3, opportunities always slip away in regret.

Sigh, this is my common problem. I know it but just can't do it. Honestly, it's a mindset issue. Fearful in the beginning, anxious later. That's how this Moonshot turned out. The moment I cut my losses, I really want to smash the keyboard. Now I keep repeating this mistake every time.

Hey buddy, it's the same old script again. Insufficient understanding leads to light positions, and then trembling hands at critical moments cut into the meat. I have to ask, how much did you actually make from this Moonshot move?

This is my common problem: my cognition can't keep up, and my hands start to shake. The Moonshot move was too conservative, then I became too greedy, completely fighting against myself. Watching it surge and regretting not holding a larger position, then rushing to cut losses when it drops—what a bloody lesson. Positive returns are positive returns, but it feels like I lost several times the happiness—you know what I mean. I know I should hold on, but I just can't hold it, and that's the most heartbreaking part. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have looked at the charts; the more I look, the more my hands itch. Moonshot wasn't particularly bad; I just suck at it, wasting opportunities right in front of me. Actually, I'm not upset about not making money; it's that I knew what to do but still did the opposite. That's why I've been trapped all along—my skills and cognition are just at this level. Next time I won't dare, but next time I probably will again. I've already resigned myself.
