i realized the issue here. when it's volatile in the down direction i'm not built for it. when it goes up it's great

I'm not a natural trader either. Traders think discretely, and I think continuously

Eg. Trading dogma is to cut losses quickly. You lose more by remaining "attached" to an under-performing position

But if you thought that way, you couldn't run a startup. You *must* be emotionally connected even at the lows

+1, never set up a stop loss since started trading crypto. 

Lost a bit because of that but made 100X more than I lost thanks to asymmetric returns
