Many traders, once they incur losses, instinctively blame the market for being bad or luck being poor. But honestly, most of the time, the problem isn't the market itself, but that your trading rhythm has completely gotten out of control.



Have you noticed this phenomenon: even when the trend judgment is correct, you always buy during pullbacks and sell during rallies. When the market slightly improves, you can't resist making frequent moves, ending up not holding onto the profits you earned and eating all the losses.

I once knew a trader whose account had been repeatedly battered down to almost nothing. He monitored the charts daily, constantly refreshed the graphs, and couldn't sleep at night. It's not a lack of effort; quite the opposite—it's excessive effort that led him into the trap of emotional trading.

Later, we made a simple adjustment: slow down.

Don't jump on the first wave of the trend, avoid trading in choppy zones, and don't force trades within ambiguous price ranges. Wait until the pattern is truly clear, and only trade when the logic is straightforward.

The result was quite interesting—his account started to grow periodically. He later told me this was the first time he felt he wasn't "gambling," but "steadily progressing."

The market is never short of opportunities; what is truly scarce is only one thing: patience to wait for your turn.

Chaotic rhythm, and even the best market conditions can be turned into disaster by your forced actions. I've seen too many traders with the correct direction but fail because of frequent trading. I've also seen traders with limited capital, who, through precise and infrequent entries, slowly accumulate their accounts.

This difference has never been about the size of the capital; the key is whether you can discipline yourself.

In the crypto world, the competition isn't about who has the biggest guts, but who can survive longer. You don't need to trade every day, nor do you need to catch every move. You only need to do the right things at the right rhythm, consistently.

Market opportunities will keep appearing, and chances will come repeatedly. But the prerequisite is—you must first stabilize your mindset and not exhaust your account in the obsession of "quickly turning things around."

That hits too close to home. My best friend was just worn out like that, constantly checking the K-line charts as if it were an addiction.

To be honest, I'm that fool who watches the market every day, with my fingers calloused from pressing the buttons.

Well said, I'm the fool who keeps watching the market every day and ends up bankrupting myself.

Exactly, I am that fool who watches the market every day, helplessly watching the gains slip away and the losses pile up.
