The Blood and Tears Lessons of Cryptocurrency Traders: The More You Research Indicators, the More You Lose? Because You Got the Focus Wrong
Have you been trading for two years and still research indicators, patterns, and parameters every day? Thinking you're improving your skills, but in reality, you're just seeking 'security'—trying to combat an uncertain market with a 'certain answer.' But the money you've lost isn't due to a lack of technical knowledge; it's because you didn't exit when you should have, didn't stop when you needed to, over-leveraged, and hesitated—it's all about mindset and execution holding you back.
The market has no 'sure win signals'; the same tools yield vastly different results in different hands. Real mature traders become increasingly 'lazy': they are not in a rush to prove themselves right, they don't dwell on 'if only I had held longer,' they only care about 'can this trade be executed comfortably.' Compared to entering trades, they want to understand 'when to not participate'—when their state isn't right, or their emotions are unstable, no matter how good the opportunity, it will still be a drain.
The difference has never been technique; it's whether you can remain clear-headed amid chaos: accepting uncertainty, tolerating imperfection, and following rules even when you don't feel it. Remember: the market doesn't lack methods; it lacks people who can use methods long-term. Stop fantasizing about 'one big turnaround'; respecting every ordinary choice is the first step to grasping trading.
The final heart-wrenching truth: does this paragraph make you uncomfortable? It indicates you're the person who needs to be awakened. True experts have long stopped wasting energy on 'finding methods.'
