Stick religiously to my entry rules—but when it comes time to exit, that's where things get messy. The irony? I can follow my buy signals like clockwork, yet my selling discipline falls apart faster than you'd expect. Maybe it's the hope bias, maybe it's FOMO in reverse. Either way, there's this weird gap between the trader I want to be and the one actually hitting the buttons.

Full entry discipline, but exiting is a complete mess. This is truly a problem every trader has to face head-on.

Perfect entry discipline, but once out, I become a noob. Isn't that just me? Haha

Stick to the entry rules strictly; once out, it's a mess. Isn't that me haha --- A typical greed problem, always wanting to earn a little more when selling --- Really amazing, why is entering so decisive, but as soon as it’s time to sell, self-hypnosis begins --- Hope bias indeed torments people, knowing you should exit but reluctant to leave --- That’s why most people can’t make money... entering is easy, exiting is hard --- I just want to ask why there’s no mechanism for sell orders, why must it be manual --- Discipline really only works at entry; afterward, it’s all gambler’s mentality --- The most painful thing is unsold orders, watching them fall back helplessly
