Eight years of cycles: From being liquidated to the moment of survival
In my eighth year in the market, I increasingly confirm one thing:
They lose not because of skills, but because of wrong trading habits being amplified time and time again.
1. You often can't make money because you are "spreading too thin"
In the small capital stage, the most fatal thing is not making wrong calls, but wanting everything.
The account is not large, yet you hold a bunch of coins,
The result is: when the market rises, it's not your turn, and when it falls, you can't escape at all.
The truly effective approach is always to concentrate your firepower.
2. The market obeys trends, not your logic
Many people are keen on studying news, patterns, and indicators, but ignore a cruel fact:
Once a trend is formed, logic is left with execution only.
Rebounds during a downtrend are mostly for escaping; pullbacks during an uptrend are the real entry windows.
You can make a wrong call, but you can't go against the trend stubbornly.
3. When there is no market, trading is chronic suicide
The crypto market does not provide opportunities every day.
Most of the time, the market is either directionless or lacks space.
But the problem is: when people are idle, they want to trade.
4. Losing money holding positions and being soft-hearted when making profits is a common ailment among retail investors
Almost all accounts that have been liquidated have gone through the same process:
Imagining reversals during losses and rushing to cash out during profits.
The result is: the more you hold losing positions, the bigger they become, and the smaller your winning positions get.
5. The rhythm of buying and selling determines what kind of person you are
Hesitant when opportunities arise, procrastinating when risks come, this is the most typical "money-giving operation".
6. Adding to positions is not a lifeline, it's amplifying judgment
Many people add to losing positions,
Saying they are "lowering costs", but they are actually avoiding mistakes.
There is only one premise for correct position adding: even if you are currently flat, you are still willing to buy back at this level.
Otherwise, that is not trading, it is emotional self-rescue.
7. Those who are obsessed with short-term trades find it hard to last till the end
Staring at the market, frequent operations, pursuing excitement, seem like hard work, but actually consume judgment.
8. Bottom-fishing is the most expensive belief for retail investors
"It has dropped so much, it should bounce back, right?" This phrase has buried countless accounts.
The bottom is not guessed; it is confirmed by trends.
The more anxious people are to catch the bottom, the more likely they are to die halfway up the mountain. #加密市场观察
