From now on, strictly adhere to the stop-loss discipline and no longer hold onto losing positions.

My approach is simple—operate two wallets separately. One is used for trading and speculation; take profits or cut losses without hesitation. The other wallet holds the core positions in projects I truly believe in, for the long term, and remains unchanged.

The core holdings are the coins you genuinely trust; give them time to prove themselves. The fluctuations in between? That's an opportunity for the trading wallet. By separating the risks this way, your mindset can stay much more stable.

honestly if you look at the data, most ppl just say this then end up raiding both wallets when the correlation coefficient turns ugly lol

You're right, but I'm afraid execution is the problem. I've thought the same way for a long time, but I still can't break the habit of holding losing positions. Every time there's a dip, I want to buy the bottom, and I end up cutting losses repeatedly.

That's right, keeping two wallets separate is the key to maintaining a stable mindset; otherwise, it's really easy to get trapped. --- This move is indeed brilliant. Hold the core position with confidence, cut when necessary in the short term, and keep your psychological state fully prepared. --- Every time I try to hold on to a position, I end up being repeatedly "harvested." Learning this trick of splitting funds is essential. --- Discipline in stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to implement. You still need a system to enforce it. --- Separating two wallets to reduce risk is clever. This way, you won't be wiped out by a single market surge. --- Why does it feel like you're dividing "calmness" and "greed" into two, one rational and one impulsive?

That's right, I've been doing that for a long time. Separating wallets can really save your life, otherwise a single loss mindset can completely collapse. But it still depends on the person; some people will still secretly move their core holdings even after splitting. This set of logic tests the most is mindset; not many can stick to it. Talking about cutting losses is easy, but when the market drops, it still feels uncomfortable. If you can keep two wallets clear, it can indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary entanglements. The discipline of stop-loss, even if you've heard it a thousand times, may not necessarily be followed. It's really about being tough on yourself; this is the basic skill for making money.

On-chain data shows that this logic actually has a hidden risk... Separating into two wallets sounds perfect, but the real danger lies in psychological game theory. From the code perspective, there's nothing stopping you from moving the core wallet during late-night hours. Unsurprisingly, most people can't withstand the first wave of correction.
