When you exit the position just 1.23 seconds before the candle closes and watch the price explode in the direction you predicted. That feeling of being this close to a perfect trade but missing it by milliseconds—classic crypto trading moment. Every trader knows that gut punch when you're right about the move, wrong about the timing.

Haha, I should have waited a bit longer.

This is a painful lesson; if only it had been a few tenths of a second faster, I would have won.

Oh no, this is my daily routine, the art of stepping out one second earlier.

Haha, this pain point hits the mark perfectly. If only I had that one second, I would be rich... Based on my analysis, this is the fundamental difference between retail investors and big players. Their wallet addresses always have that 1.23 seconds of patience, while my orders are always missing that bit of luck.

Oh no, that's why I hate doing short-term trading. It's really too exhausting.
