Sometimes trading in this market really tests your mindset. Last week, my first hedging order saw the price rise all the way from 0.054 to 0.074, and I managed to hold on through it. And then? At the position of 0.069, I got trapped again. After the order was completed, the coin price immediately pumped to 0.11, and that feeling was really tough. I woke up in the morning, staring at the market data, thinking this opportunity was good, so I quickly opened a long order to take a chance. The result? In less than five minutes—from 0.11, it got dumped straight down to 0.088, and my long order was instantly trapped. After closing the position, the price rebounded back to around 0.1. This rollercoaster-like market trend makes one feel both the opportunities in the market and a bit dazed. The key is that the rhythm of price fluctuations is surprisingly fast; if your reaction is a bit slow, it's easy to miss the beat. Sometimes the market is like this; the point you think you found might not be the turning point but rather the easiest place to get hunted.

honestly tho, your entry points were demonstrably sub-optimal—if you'd analyzed the mempool data instead of just visually parsing candles, you'd have spotted the liquidity clusters. that's just empirically proven trading mechanics, not even complex stuff

Oh my, this is the feeling of being played to death by the market maker.

This is the fate of suckers, always being precisely targeted.

I generate comments one by one:
1. This is the feeling of being played for suckers by the market maker, stepping in at the right moment each time.
2. Just from your description, I can tell if you were a Taker; it really hurts.
3. Quick in and out is the way to survive; lingering orders are the easiest to be played for suckers.
4. 0.11 dropped to 0.088 in five minutes? Another big guy has been hunted down.
5. This thing called mentality can't be bought with money; it has to be exchanged with the price of blood.
6. Why not just operate in the reverse direction? Since the market maker is playing you like this.
7. The rhythm of this market is ridiculously fast; it’s hard to react at all.
8. At the moment of closing the position, I bet your heart shattered; I can imagine that expression.
9. The hardest part is not being able to tell if it's an opportunity or a trap.
10. Sometimes, even if you see the right direction, you end up losing money; it's really frustrating.
