The truth about losses: it's not about misjudging the direction, it's about not being able to control one's actions.



Staring at the K-line's red and green fluctuations,
The heartbeat rises and falls with the price,
The account balance is shrinking.

There is no problem on the technical side, the issue lies in —
You think you are trading, but in fact, it is your emotions that are in control.

Treat your position like a health bar, not like all your assets.

Market veterans understand one thing:

Those who are fully invested start cursing when there is a 5% pullback;
Those who are waiting on the sidelines increase their positions by chasing after a 15% rise.
Those who maintain a half position and set a good stop-loss see their account curve steadily moving to the right.

A true trader does not predict tops and bottoms.
They only do one thing - control the damage caused by volatility.

Position allocation is actually a visualization of emotional management.

A sleep test to check if your positions are healthy.

When preparing to sleep at night:

I came across a piece of market news that made my heart skip a beat, but I can still sleep - my position is reasonable.
After watching the news, I go to sleep immediately—my position is too light, and the returns can't come in quickly.
Staring at the market back and forth until the early morning - the position has already exceeded the bearing range.

I usually maintain a position ratio of 40%-60% all year round:
A 10% drop hurts, but it's not enough to lose sleep; a 20% rise is exciting, but it won't lead to impulsive buying.

The ultimate goal of trading is not to become rich.
It allows you to live normally amidst market fluctuations.

Gamification: The Most Underrated Weapon

Many people misunderstand that a "game mentality" means not being serious.
On the contrary, this is the most lucid state.

When treating trading as a game,
You won't be entangled in "how to break even".
but rather thinking about "how to do better next time".

My operating logic:
Position is like a health bar; don't just throw away kills in a team fight.
Stop loss is the point of revival; as long as the green mountains remain.
Reviewing is a strategy note that records where the gameplay has issues.

The market rules haven't changed, and the logic of cryptocurrency price fluctuations hasn't changed.
You have changed - no longer led by fear and greed.

Epilogue

Don't treat every transaction as a gamble.
It's just one match of your ranked game.

The rank has increased,
Principal, earnings, mindset freedom,
will become a natural result.

After auditing tens of thousands of lines of code, I realized that the biggest flaw in trading is human nature.
