When everyone's panicking, I'm just watching. When the crowd's euphoric, I take a step back. That's literally it—the whole game.
You see most traders get destroyed not by bad calls, but by emotions hijacking their entries and exits. They chase pumps. They panic-sell dumps. They revenge-trade after losses. Rinse and repeat until the account's empty.
My playbook? No emotions, only data. Set your thesis, set your stops, execute the plan. Don't negotiate with yourself mid-trade. The market doesn't care about your feelings—it'll punish hesitation just as hard as greed.
The traders who actually make it are the boring ones. The ones who execute the same process over and over, regardless of what the crowd's doing around them. Discipline over instinct. System over sentiment.
That's the only edge that actually scales.

That's right, emotions are the biggest enemy. Many people have fallen at the step of revenge trading.

You're so right, emotions are really the biggest killer.
Stick to the system and that's it, don't negotiate with yourself.

That's right, just do the opposite. When everyone is going crazy, stay calm and watch the show; when experiencing FOMO, you should hold back.
Trading in chaos, staying calm
