#美SEC推动加密创新监管 I have observed too many people losing money in the crypto world, and I have found a particularly common problem —
It dropped, and I can't bear to sell.
Always thinking in my heart: wait for a rebound before selling.
Dropped two points today? No problem, let's see tomorrow. Dropped three more points tomorrow? Maybe we should wait a bit longer. Finally pulled back a little bit, immediately starting to fantasize: let's wait a bit longer, maybe we can break even.
Just wasting time like this.
By the time you realize, it has already dropped by dozens of points, the profits you made earlier are long gone, and you've also lost a large chunk of your principal.
This is not trading, it's gambling. If you don't set a stop loss, no matter how good your market sense is, a single mistake is enough to bring you back to square one.
How do those traders who really live long do it? They break expectations, walk away directly, admit their mistakes and start over, without so much entanglement.
I am the same way. Unless I am very sure and the long-term logic is solid for the asset, I definitely will not increase my position as it drops.
Before opening a position each time, the stop-loss level must be thought out clearly. Otherwise, a single mistake could be a fatal blow.
Trading is about long-term survival. If you want to establish a foothold in the market, stop fantasizing about "it will always bounce back after a drop."
Every order must have a plan and discipline, rather than staring at the candlestick chart and praying for a miracle.
If you also want to figure out how to protect your principal and reduce being stuck, I have a set of practical stop-loss logic and operational rhythm that I can discuss with you...
I used to hold on stubbornly, and as a result, a 50% Slump hit me hard and made me wake up. Now, whenever a stop loss is triggered, I run without giving myself any chance for mental justification.
The most frightening thing is that devil's whisper of "Since I'm already at a loss, I might as well take another gamble."
The more I fall, the more I stubbornly hold on, it's like gambling that the sky will fall and not hit me, it's so foolish.
This article hit the nail on the head; we must enforce the stop loss discipline, brother.
I've had enough of the trap of increasing the position when the market falls; I'm never doing that again.
No matter how strong my market sense is, it's useless without a plan; one mistake can set you back to square one.
Admitting mistakes and starting over is definitely much more reliable than fantasizing about recouping investment.

Stop loss sounds simple to say, but when it comes to action, it’s hard to do. The psychological barrier is too tough to overcome.
---
What bothers me the most are those who keep shouting "buy the dip moment" in the group even when the market is falling, only to end up buying halfway down the hill, haha.

I agree with this logic, but executing it really requires iron discipline, which most people can’t manage.
---
If I can’t cut loss, then I can only bet on a rebound. This is the process of being educated by the market, I suppose.

Having a plan can indeed save lives. Now I set a stop loss point for every order I place, and I will never be trapped to the point of collapse again.
