#数字资产市场洞察 When a trader from the Jianghan Plain found me, he was already completely drained. A 200,000 USDT account, and in the end, only 5,000 left.

I reviewed his trading records one by one, and everything became clear.

Dozens of trades in and out each day, with fees greedily swallowing all the floating profits. When the market rose a little, he started fantasizing about tenfold returns; when it broke support levels, he stubbornly held on, hoping for a miracle. The last wave of decline wiped everything out, leaving him with zero.

I asked him: "Bro, are you trading or just gambling?"

What he fell into was actually the "Loss Loop Trio" that 99% of retail traders can't escape. See if you recognize yourself in it:

**First Pitfall: Eyes glued to the 1-minute chart**

You think you're a short-term expert, but in reality, you're just doing free labor for the exchange. Fees silently eat away your profits every day, yet you still indulge in dreams of overnight riches. The noise on small timeframes is too much; you can't see the true direction at all. The result is frequent opening and closing, losing more the busier you are.

**Second Pitfall: Believing in losing trades as faith**

You say, "This is just a correction, it will rebound," but your account keeps going south. This isn't a matter of perspective; it's self-deception. When the margin call SMS finally hits, it's already too late to wake up.

**Third Pitfall: Going all-in on any coin you see**

FOMO takes over, and your brain shuts down. Ignoring risks, you throw everything in. When you wake up after sleeping, your account has shrunk to double digits. I've heard too many tragedies like this.

This guy was staring at the market at 3 a.m., and finally, his mind completely collapsed. He asked me: "Is the market just here to cut me?"

I said: "It's not the market cutting you; it's you handing the knife over and letting it 'cut deep.'"

I told him to immediately change three habits:

**Change 1: Only look at 4-hour and longer timeframes**

Delete all those minute-level charts from your phone. Do at most 3 trades a day, and if you're itching to trade more, go to sleep. Filter out the noise and only focus on the markets you truly understand.

**Change 2: Strict position management, decisive stop-losses**

Never risk more than 10% of your account on a single entry. Once floating profits exceed 20%, take half profits immediately, and protect the rest with a trailing stop. Cut losses at 5%, and don't tell me about emotional attachment.

**Change 3: Write trading discipline into your DNA**

After two consecutive stop-outs, force yourself to close the trading app. Stop trading immediately when emotions run high. Review your trades daily, understand how each one makes or loses money, and find patterns.

Turning the tide is never about going all-in on luck; it's about a calm mind, strict discipline, and persistent execution every day.

Later, I helped him replan his trading approach. Although he missed some quick-rising opportunities, he caught the rhythm on popular coins like $BEAT and $pippin later on.

After three months, he sent me a screenshot: "Bro, my account is now 270,000 USDT."

It's hard to go far alone, but following a steady rhythm can help you avoid detours. If you're currently stumbling and falling repeatedly—earning and losing back—it's better to adjust your strategy and follow a prudent, well-structured plan.

The next opportunity window is already open. Are you ready to seize it together?
