People don’t talk enough about the dopamine and the delusion of watching a floating $9k profit vanish into thin air. You’re up $9k, but in your head, it’s already $10k. “Just a little more… I’ll close at $10k.” Then it dips. $9k becomes $8k… then $7k. But you don’t close. You convince yourself: “It’ll bounce. It always does.” Next thing you know, $7k turns into $3k… And suddenly, it was never your profit — just numbers you refused to secure.
