I was watching a pumped coin today. A few months earlier, I know exactly what I would've done. I would've opened the chart, convinced myself it was still going higher and higher probably trade in late.
This time I (little mature myself) just watched it. For a moment I wondered if I was already in FOMO and thought I might miss it but that feeling disappeared pretty quickly.
What surprised me wasn't the pump, it was my reaction to it. I didn't feel frustrated. I didn't feel i need to chase it. I just accepted that not every opportunity has to be mine.
That felt differently.
Maybe I started to understand that missing one trade isn't the same as missing the market and losing hard earned money.
