In the previous market wave, when the position profit reached a floating gain of 20,000 USDT, there was actually an opportunity to cash out and secure the gains. But I just didn't sell, always thinking I could push for another wave. As a result, the market pulled back, and I didn't make a single point of profit, even ending up with a slight loss.
This really hit hard. Now I understand that crypto assets can rise and fall quickly. Sometimes, taking profits in a trend is much smarter than holding on indefinitely. Instead of greedily waiting for the top, it's better to lock in profits in stages.
I've adjusted my strategy and decided to try again. This time, I've learned to be smart—set a take-profit level and execute when it hits, no longer fighting with myself. Opportunities in the market are always there, but preserving profits is the real key.

This is a typical case of "incentive mechanism failure." The 20,000 USDT threshold should have been your take-profit line, but what happened? The greed parameter wasn't set properly, and instead, you were pushed back to the starting point. In simple terms, it's a lack of self-executing mechanism design—having strategies without constraints is all empty in the face of market volatility.

Greed is really the biggest killer in the crypto world. If you have 20,000 USDT, you should run. Waiting for the top is truly asking for trouble.

Greed really keeps teaching people a lesson; losing 20,000 U is so heartbreaking.

⚠️ ngl this is classic emotional trading pattern... ever audit your own decision-making process? didn't think so. that 20k drawdown screams lack of position management protocol & zero MEV protection on your exit strategy tbh

This is the cost of greed. Missing out on 20,000 USDT after getting it really is heartbreaking.
