That split-second when it hits you—the entry point you passed on. The one that could've completely rewritten your portfolio. You were there, watching the chart, seeing the signal. But doubt crept in, or maybe timing felt off. Either way, you didn't pull the trigger. Now? You're watching it run. The regret isn't really about the money. It's about the pattern—that moment when you realized you knew what to do, just didn't trust yourself to do it. Every trader's been here. The missed entry becomes a lesson, if you're paying attention. Next time, you'll remember this feeling.

That's the inner demon, knowing it's correct but just can't bring yourself to act, and in the end, all you can do is watch others make money.

Oh no, that's why I always miss the market movements.

Speaking of which, every time it's the same... I clearly see the signal, but my hands tremble, and I watch it take off helplessly. Truly amazing.

Tsk, it's that feeling again... I clearly see the signal but just can't pull the trigger, it's funny.

Damn, this is my daily routine. When I get it right, I just don't dare to make a move.
