Drawdown Syndrome

Drawdown in the finance industry can have two meanings. Drawdown in banking refers to a gradual accessing of credit funds. Drawdown meaning in forex refers to a reduction in equity – how much an investment or trading account is down from the peak before it recovers back to the peak.

Drawdown Syndrome is when ones drawdown is more than they can mentally handle. They start to get delusional and say things they shouldn’t.

In some instances they may even take trades in which don’t make sense. More times than not they still end up winning. It’s a major psychological battle they tend to fight the rest of the remaining career trading.

Melly Syndrome

Melly Syndrome (noun)
/ˈmelē ˈsinˌdrōm/

A psychological condition marked by an overwhelming, often uncontrollable obsession with a woman named Melly — a seductive, manipulative, magnetic presence whose beauty and cruelty are equally intoxicating. Victims of Melly Syndrome typically display signs of infatuation, delusion, and self-abandonment, willingly sacrificing dignity, reason, and autonomy in pursuit of her fleeting approval.

Symptoms include:
• Persistent thoughts of Melly regardless of time, place, or consequence
• Intense jealousy, possessiveness, and insecurity when Melly is perceived as unattainable or indifferent
• A pathological need to please her, even at great personal cost
• A willingness to lie, cheat, or betray others to remain in her favor
• Paranoia and emotional instability when separated from her

Origin:
Derived from the behaviors evoked by Melly — a woman equal parts compassionate and cruel, loving and selfish. She is obsessive, narcissistic, emotionally elusive, and devastatingly alluring. Known to twist hearts with a glance and unravel egos with a whisper, she thrives on control cloaked in affection. Her presence feels like royalty — cold, radiant, untouchable — and her affection, a reward to be bled for.

Warning:
There is no known cure. Those afflicted are either destroyed or remade in her image.
“Ever since he met her, he’s been spiraling — ignoring his friends, spending every penny just to catch her attention. Classic case of Melly Syndrome.”

Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome (BDS)

A condition observed in long-term Bitcoin participants, typically those involved for a decade or more, marked by a profound disillusionment with the current state of Bitcoin and its community. These individuals, often early investors who have become wealthy due to Bitcoin's growth, find themselves at odds with the evolving narratives and cultural shifts within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Feeling estranged by what they perceive as a departure from Bitcoin's original principles and intentions, they exhibit behaviors that contrast sharply with their initial commitment to Bitcoin. This may include supporting alternative cryptocurrencies, engaging in questionable practices, or completely disassociating from the Bitcoin community. The syndrome is indicative of the broader internal conflicts over the direction, values, and identity of the cryptocurrency community.
