#数字资产市场动态 Traders who have been in the crypto space the longest share a common habit—especially good at resisting the urge to look at the charts.



You read that right. 80% of market fluctuations are noise, and the real opportunities to act only come around a few times a year. When I first started, I thought I had to hustle hard, staring at the K-lines of BTC, ETH, SOL every day. Later, I realized that it’s not about effort, but about whether you can resist tempting but uncertain trades.

When should you act? When the signals are solid as a rock. When should you stay idle? When prices are still swinging wildly. The most comfortable phase is the middle, when the market is stable—this is the time to participate. If the key levels aren’t reached, you should grit your teeth and hold back; if signals are fuzzy during volatility, don’t even look at the fancy patterns. While others are busy chasing highs and selling lows, you just wait patiently for the market to bring the opportunities to you.

Why do top traders have such outrageous win rates? Because they’ve shifted their mindset—each trade isn’t "must win," but "a chance to learn from my mistakes." When the time is right, let profits run; when wrong, cut losses at the cost basis. This way, a small number of trades can cover the main market moves, escaping the vicious cycle of "frequent trading → emotional breakdown → continuous losses."

Livermore’s words capture this perfectly: "I’m always waiting for key levels to appear." True experts may not have the sharpest prediction skills, but they have an instinctive sense of when "this trade shouldn’t be made at all."

To master these points, you just need to:

Stay out of the market during sideways ranges; don’t itch to trade. After confirming signals, go all in without hesitation. When you profit, don’t get cocky; when you lose, don’t stubbornly hold on—this elevates trading from "guessing ups and downs" to "probability-based."

A heartfelt final note: the market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is the person who can stay alive until those opportunities arrive.

That's true, but very few people can actually do it. I'm one of those who can't sit still, constantly watching the market and ending up losing more and more haha

That's right, I'm the kind of person who watches the market every day and still ends up losing. I just realized that holding back and not acting is the hardest thing of all.

Basically, you have to learn to hold back. I used to watch the market every day, and the more I watched, the more impatient I got... Later, I simply deleted the market analysis app, and I ended up making more stable profits.

Honestly, I've heard this theory many times, but very few people can actually implement it. I myself am a cautionary example; I watch the market every day and get itchy hands. I can't resist acting on even small fluctuations.

That's right, my biggest improvement is learning to close my eyes. I used to lose the most when I was constantly watching the market, but now I live the longest by doing "nothing at all."
