Expand Let me tell you a true story from today, based on my own experience. I just briefly checked Binance Alpha, and ended up losing about $10. It wasn't a large amount, but it started to bother me. My thinking was very simple: ZAMA has dropped so much, a rebound isn't unreasonable, right? I can easily make a small trade in spot and get that $10 back, right? But right after I bought it, the price continued to fall. I watched it for a while, and the more I watched, the more uneasy I felt, so I decided to give up and leave. I lost $20. That's when the problem arose. With a $30 loss on paper, I started to lose my composure. I thought, if going long doesn't work, I can always go short, right? So I went short MEGA. As soon as the order was opened, the price started to surge, rising until I questioned my sanity. At its worst, my unrealized loss was close to $300. Fortunately, a subsequent sharp drop prevented me from making a profit or loss; I closed the position at the original price. My mindset was pretty much ruined. But did you think that was the end of it? No. I opened another order. Finally, that $30 was recovered. Looking back, it was truly a bumpy and absurd day. Someone asked me: It's just $10, is it really worth it? But the problem was never the money. It was the psychological imbalance. If I lost $10 more every day, I would definitely be a losing Alpha trader this month. Now that I think about it, this might be the real purpose of Alpha. It's not to make you money, but to make you trade non-stop. Spot trading, futures trading, Alpha—it's all there, You'll keep trading because of that little bit of unwillingness to accept losses, until you're completely drained of energy, emotions, and trading speed. Haha, after understanding this, it all feels more real.
