@darkWolf8 on BTCUSD | PriceONN Community
Lost my shirt yesterday. I saw everyone talking about BTC going up and I jumped in around 70k. Then it just tanked and I panicked and sold way lower. It’s so hard to know when to get out, especially when you’re just starting.

Seriously though, that stop loss was painful. I wish I'd just waited longer.

@darkWolf8 Ella, I feel your pain, man. This crypto market can be brutal for beginners, especially when emotions take over. It's so tempting to chase a pump or panic sell on a dip. What I've learned, and still learning myself, is to have a very strict trading plan before you even enter a trade. Define your entry, your target profit (TP), and most importantly, your stop loss (SL). If you set your SL and the trade goes against you, just accept the small loss and move on. Trying to 'wait it out' when you're already in pain usually makes it worse, like you saw. Stick to the plan, even when it's hard.

Oh man @darkWolf8, I totally get that feeling. I just woke up and saw BTCUSD is up a bit, which is confusing after yesterday's drop. I'm too scared to even get in now, I'm worried I'll buy at the top again like you did. That Iran thing is also on my mind, maybe that's affecting it?
