A friend who has been with me for a long time recently complained to me - obviously the general direction is right, and the rhythm is also accurate, but the account balance seems to be enchanted, and it doesn't go up. If you make a few hundred U, you can't help but fall into the bag, and when you encounter a callback, you will be frightened and immediately clear your position.
I asked him to send the transaction details and flip through them, and only gave two sentences of advice on the spot: stop loss should be more decisive, and take profit should be calmer. Looking at it three months later, the account went directly from 4,000U to more than 50,000, with a net profit of more than 12 times.
To put it bluntly, there is one truth: figure out how much you can lose at most, and then think about "how much you want to earn". Many people plunge into the market headlong, their eyes are full of dreams of doubling, and they don't care where the risk is. It's strange that this style of play doesn't overturn.
**Short-term gameplay: stop loss must be as thin as a blade**
As long as you touch the leverage, the loss tolerance must be kept to a minimum. When I do ETH short-term myself, I focus on a fixed profit point, and once I touch the preset loss line, I immediately retreat, never dragging my feet. Don't underestimate the small profit of dozens of U each time, which accumulates into a stable compound interest basis.
**Medium-term strategy: Let the rules withstand the fluctuations for you**
If you want to eat dozens of points, you have to accept the repeated tossing of you in the middle. mark the key support level as a "lifeline" in advance, and the structure can be held without breaking; When it reaches a high level, cash out part of it first, and use the rest to automatically take care of it with moving take profit. Believe in the rules and don't be led by your own emotions.
**Position control: Resilience is more critical than looking in the right direction**
Taking 3000U to test the waters can be very relaxing, and the mentality of replacing it with 9000U heavy positions will immediately tighten. The heavier the position, the easier it is to be broken by small shocks, and chasing high and killing down all happens at this time. How much loss you can afford is the iron rule that you should match the position.
Stop loss is the "body armor" to protect the principal, and take profit is the "dividend" given by the market. Before opening an order every time, think about where the way out is, and then calculate how much you can earn. There is never a shortage of opportunities in the market, but if you lose all the principal, you will never have a ticket to turn over.
What you lack is never luck or hard work, but a set of trading discipline that will really help you survive and make money.

That's correct, but the hardest part is the mindset.
---
Damn, 12x leverage? Why am I still losing money?
---
Talking about stop-loss is easy, but when it comes to actual positions, I get weak.
---
Position size is the real killer; that's how I got wiped out.
---
It sounds simple, but in practice, it's easy to be driven by market sentiment.
---
The key is to survive; don't think about going all-in for a turnaround.
---
It's something, but only one out of ten people truly follow through with execution.
---
Decisive stop-loss really changed my trading; I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier.
---
I've heard this story from friends in several versions, but it is indeed convincing.
---
The main point is to control your hands and take profits when the time is right.

Honestly, so many people can't get past the mindset stage.
---
So discipline is still necessary; otherwise, even the right direction is pointless.
---
Stop-loss is really the safety net; without it, you'll eventually be doomed.
---
Position control is expertly explained; heavy investing is just suicide.
---
Small amounts with compound interest may sound slow, but they can truly help you survive until the end and make big gains.
---
The key is to know when to hold back and when to go all out.
---
Everyone wants to hear stories of turning 4,000 into 50,000, but execution is the real dividing line.

Take profit and stop loss may sound simple, but very few actually execute it
Honestly, I have too many people like this around me
Playing without setting boundaries will eventually lead to losses; this is a law
Rules are the strongest psychological foundation; emotions are the biggest enemy in trading
Incorrect position sizing, even in the right direction, is useless
We agreed not to chase highs, but as soon as it rises, we rush in—it's hilarious
This is the key to survival, not about how much you earn
A worker’s mindset entering the market should be taught by the market

Oh, I'm too familiar with this guy's problem, and I was so bad back then. Stop? Take profit? Heh, young people just think too much.
Damn, 4,000 to 50,000? I have to think about this number, how do I feel that my reinvestment strategy is not ruthless enough.
To be honest, I really can't be blind about the position, I have been killed once in a heavy position before, the taste... Forget it.
Damn, this set of discipline is absolutely amazing, it is the biggest enemy of human nature to enforce.
Another buddy who is crippled by emotions, every time I watch this kind of story, I want to laugh - I have to somersault myself even though I know the rules.

I've heard the story of 4,000 to 50,000 buddies no less than ten times, but it's really heartbreaking... Anyway, my problem is that I don't count the profits, and I often watch the meat in my hand fly back

It's really terrible to be too greedy for profit, and my friend's personal experience advised me to do this

Waking up too late, how many people have lost like this
I asked, how did this friend go from 4,000 to 50,000, is it really fake?
Mentality is indeed the biggest enemy, and it is much more difficult than looking at the market
Taking profit and stopping loss is easier said than done
If the position is heavy, it is easy to be broken by shocks, and I have a deep experience
This is why many people can't make money and don't do a good job of defense
Sounds simple, but doing is another thing
The principal is king, and there is nothing left after losing
Rules are more important than feelings, but there are a few that can really be followed
The point must be stuck to death, and you can't be soft-hearted

I understand this buddy's story too well, and the mentality is really a thousand times more important than coin selection.
To be honest, taking profit and stopping loss is easier said than done, and most people are talking on paper.
4,000 to 50,000 is purely because he finally listened to these two sentences.
It is indeed easy to be scared out when the position is heavy, and I also lost orders in a panic before.
The key is to admit your ability to withstand pressure, don't resist, this is the trick to live for a long time.

Really, mentality is more valuable than direction. I have seen too many accounts because of greed

To put it bluntly, mentality is really much more valuable than technology
---
This set of stop loss and take profit is easy to say... Forget it, it's still difficult
---
3000U relaxes 9000U tightness, this benchmark is a bit awesome haha
---
12 times, I feel that the story is told quite well, but this kind of case is one in a hundred
---
I remember this last sentence, the principal is the real ticket
---
It's useless to look in the right direction, the mentality is completely broken, this is heart-wrenching

The rules are in charge for you, which is much better than thinking about it yourself
