In trading, hope is a disease and must be avoided at all costs (from "Day Trading").

Even after crossing the stop-loss line, I am not cutting losses and am simply praying to luck; I understand that feeling all too well (laughs). I can’t move, and my thoughts have frozen. Looking at the unrealized losses makes the mood even worse. It’s not good for mental health, so this is a moment to exit quickly.

It is said that “hope is like a drug that robs you of intellectual judgment,” a stern warning indeed.

Hope is an enemy, isn’t it?

Well then, see you next time.
