Many people only think about protecting their principal but overlook a more deadly factor—psychological capital. In the crypto trading world, a mental breakdown can happen faster than an account explosion. Overtrading, chasing orders, revenge trading—these situations will cause your judgment to plummet. Long-term stress and fatigue will gradually erode your decision-making ability. An emotional decision could ruin the gains you've made over the past few months. So don't just focus on the K-line; also take care of your mental state. A calm mind is more valuable than any trading skill.

It has proven that mindset is more likely to break your account than stop-loss lines... I wasted three months of gains last year because of this.

People who go bankrupt are always because their mindset collapses first, I have deep personal experience with this.

The mindset is really crucial. I personally suffered a big loss because of it. During the revenge trading phase, I completely wrecked myself and just couldn't stop.

That's so true, mindset really can instantly bankrupt you... I am a living lesson myself; last year, within a month, I lost three months' worth of profits just from revenge trading. If you ask me, staying calm is truly the most valuable skill, more effective than any technical analysis.

Really, I have deep experience with mindset... The past two months of chasing orders almost broke me. --- I've quit the revenge trading approach; it's too easy to get deeper and deeper into it. --- That's right, calm people make money, emotional people pay tuition. --- Looking at candlestick charts all day makes my eyes hurt; it's better to rest more and give the brain a break. --- Psychological capital? Sounds mysterious, but it's indeed more important than anything else. --- I'm the kind of person who wants to double down immediately after a loss... and then there's no coming back. --- The hardest part in the crypto world isn't choosing coins, but choosing yourself. --- When under a lot of pressure, it's easiest to make mistakes and blow up orders. That's true.

Really, I now have a deep understanding of mindset... Previously, a revenge trade immediately took me back to the pre-liberation days.

Really, I've suffered too many losses when it comes to mindset... That revenge trading approach is truly exceptional, losing everything I made earlier in one go.

Honestly, my biggest regret is that revenge order after my mindset collapsed, it was gone directly.
