Well, I personally believe that it is unethical to talk your book in these kinds of threads, so I guess I do not know how it works in terms of exaggerating for the sake of inducing others.  On the other hand, sometimes, when I am personally fearful that the price is going to go the opposite way of my preference (that is usually down), sometimes, I just won't say anything about my internal beliefs...  .. and maybe that is a bit of a biased in my sometimes content.

Furthermore, I attempt to create a buy/sell strategy in which I hedge for either price direction, and accordingly, I try to keep my feelings out of my trades.  Therefore, even though I tend to have some preferences that my orders get filled (especially when they are getting close to getting filled, and my buy/sell increments tend to be relatively small - currently a bit less than 3%, so I feel like I am not really greedy or desperate in filling my orders), I set my orders up in such a way that I attempt to minimize my feelings - even though I feel like I have gotten a lot fucking richer - largely from our unexpected more than 3x BTC price rise for calendar 2017 - life is good...
