Have you ever wondered why you're always losing money? It's not that you're not smart, but the market psychology trap is deeper than you think. I’ve compiled the 12 most common pitfalls in trading for mutual learning.

**The Game of Time Differences**
Rapid drops during domestic daytime? Many panic to buy the dip, only to realize too late when the overseas market rebounds at 21:30. Conversely, during daytime surges, don’t chase the wind; often they retrace by night. This is not coincidence but the result of market participant distribution—fund flows across different time zones determine the price rhythm.

**The Truth of Signals**
Spike (sudden sharp drops or rises) looks terrifying, but it’s often a strong signal. The deeper the spike, the greater the counterforce. Major meetings or positive news usually lead to upward movements, but the moment they "land" is often the start of a decline—discrepancies between expectations and reality play out here.

**The Trap of Group Decision-Making**
The most discussed tokens in communities? Usually the beginning of traps. When everyone is hyping a project, most likely you’re just catching a falling knife. Those obscure coins you’re not interested in may quietly take off in silence. Testing with very small amounts is often more effective than blindly following the herd.

**Position Size Is Destiny**
Will heavy positions definitely blow up? Not necessarily. But when you’re fully committed and staring at your screen, the exchange’s liquidation list always seems to be lurking nearby. This is the ultimate lesson in risk management—your exposure level determines how the market treats you.

**Stop-Loss and Counter-operations**
After closing a short position, the price drops as expected, and the feeling of being "tricked into selling" is the hardest to bear. TRB is a typical example. Similarly, when a position is about to be unlocked, a sudden rebound that stops is not coincidence but psychological game—market makers are testing your patience.

**The Price of Taking Profits**
When you set take-profit levels well, a reverse rally often breaks through them. If you’re reluctant to sell, the market won’t rise again—this is the most expensive tuition fee.

**Emotions and Actions**
When you’re excited, a sudden plunge usually happens as forecasted; when you’re broke, the screen is full of FOMO-driven rallies. This is the market’s anti-human nature.

**Core Conclusion**
The probability of market manipulation is indeed high, but there are only two things you can do: first, strictly control your position size; second, wait until the market maker’s operation path becomes clear before following. Trading ultimately tests patience, discipline, and timing. When not entering the market, just observe quietly.

It's the same old story, I'm tired of hearing it... Just recognize that your money isn't enough to mess around with earlier.

It's the same story again—saving on gas fees but losing everything to psychological warfare. At least I’ve learned to stay up late and watch the market at 21:30. Now I’m just waiting to see how the big players will move.

You act all high and mighty, but at the end of the day, isn't it just about not messing around?

It's the same old story. The nice way to put it is: don't follow the trend, control your position. But who can actually do that...
