Trading is really enough to make people doubt their lives. The day before yesterday, I saw that AT's volume was good, and the price was stable without dropping. I placed both a long and a short position at 0.158 for hedging. I set the take profit for both the long and short at 0.22, but the stop loss for the long was at 0.145, and the take profit for the short was at 0.135. Honestly, at that moment, I thought this setup had no flaws.

And what happened? At 0.144, my long position was precisely stopped out. Then the price started to rise sharply, and I ended up losing my short position as well. This feeling is really uncomfortable—like being predicted by the market. When did trading become like this?

The current state is that I need to calm down properly. Sometimes, you can't control the rhythm of the market, and maybe taking a few days off to reorganize your thoughts will make things clearer.

0.144 Precise sniping, hilarious, the market really has eyes This is the fate of hedging, getting slapped from both sides Rest well, don't follow the market anymore, mindset is more valuable than anything Feels like AT is fishing and eating stop-losses in this wave Same feeling, sometimes it's just that feeling of being played by the market, uncomfortable At the moment of stop-loss, probably the whole person was stunned, keep going brother This is called the market sensing your order, speechless

Bro, this is a classic two-front attack. Even when doing hedging, I got swept from both sides. This move is really perfect, triggered precisely at 0.144, then turned around and surged. It feels like I was seen through. Taking a break is indeed necessary. Sometimes the market just hits you hard, there's nothing you can do. Honestly, the most frustrating part of trading is getting swept during stop-loss, it all feels like a trap. Calm down for a couple of days. Continuing to trade in this state will probably only lead to more losses. No matter how tight the stop-loss is, you can't escape it. That's the fate of trading. This round of AT market is really disgusting. Both the long and short sides got backstabbed.

0.144 this level was precisely targeted, truly breaking the defense, the market just loves to play like this The feeling of being squeezed from both sides is really amazing, this is the cost of hedging Taking a break is indeed necessary, otherwise it's easy to be manipulated by emotions To put it simply, hedging can't really shut the mouth of the market makers How to describe this move? It feels a bit like the market has read our minds It seems the stop-loss was set a bit too loose Adjusting your mindset is more important than anything else, don't get stuck on this one trade

This is the legendary "perfect stop loss," precisely targeting 0.144. I just want to know who told you this has no vulnerabilities. Caught in the middle, honestly, how unlucky is that? The market just loves to play like this. Taking a break is the right move. Sometimes, losing money in your account is less painful than having your mindset collapse.

Ha, 0.144 precise sniping, this is the market teaching you how to behave --- Hedging positions can be squeezed from both sides, I really have to admit --- Every time I think it's foolproof, then the market makes a perfect reverse move --- Rest is right, clarity is more valuable than anything --- That's why now when I see a perfect setup, I want to run. It's too easy to get slapped in the face --- Honestly, when I get precisely sniped, I really start to doubt if I am being monitored --- Stop-loss and take-profit are both eaten, isn't this just the daily routine of market whales --- Calm for three days to recover, otherwise the more you lose, the more anxious you get --- Hedging can still double losses, which is truly an artistic operation
