Recently, I played around with some new tokens in the Solana ecosystem, and my results were a bit embarrassing. I entered SLOPCOIN at the bottom and floated a profit of 5,000 yuan but didn't exit in time; I also made 3,000 yuan on HSMA but didn't cash out either; BRAIN only earned 1,000 yuan due to a small position. It seems that these popular new tokens have seen significant gains, but the few projects I held onto actually resulted in a total loss of 30 SOL. After running the numbers, I realized that this kind of short-term trading is much more difficult to execute than I thought. Even with single profitable trades, it’s easy to end up in a loss when summed up. To consistently earn a million-level profit, the threshold is indeed quite high.

Profit is profit, but it hasn't been sold. Isn't this just paper wealth? Brother, your operation is indeed a bit outrageous.

This is my daily routine. Paper profits are always the most deceptive.

lmao the classic "unreal gains on paper, real losses in wallet" energy. didn't take profits when it mattered, watched the whole stack implode. -30 SOL is honestly the tuition fee for learning that pumps don't last forever, technically speaking. those floats were never yours anyway til you actually hit sell.

Paper unrealized gains are all fake; if you can't exit the position, you're losing money. This is my blood, sweat, and tears lesson. --- It's a bit tragic. The profit from a single trade still results in a net loss. This new Solana coin really can get you hooked. --- Looks like my coin selection ability is pretty good, but the problem lies in taking profits. That's the real test of human nature. --- It's really a pity that BRAIN only made 1K. You gotta lock in profits, brother. Don't let unrealized gains evaporate. --- 30 SOLs, huh? That's why I now only hold long-term projects. Short-term trading is really a trap. --- The key is still lack of execution. Making money but not being able to exit means you haven't really earned it. --- So this is the difference between experts and retail investors—one knows when to walk away. --- I thought about it, and instead of chasing hot coins, it's better to wait for the next opportunity and be more cautious. --- Oh my god, this is my daily routine. Clearly seeing the right direction but still losing money.
