#数字资产市场动态 After years of navigating the crypto world, I've come to understand one principle—most people lose money not because of the market itself, but because they lose their rhythm.



The biggest mistake when you don't have much cash on hand is this: staring at the screen all day, eager to place a trade every second. But in reality, what truly changes your account curve are not these few daily trades, but one or two key moments throughout the year. Keep some cash in hand, ostensibly for averaging down, but fundamentally to keep yourself rational.

Never trade coins you don't understand. You can mess around on a demo account all you want, but once real money is involved, emotions become a whole different story. Before each trade, think through the logic—why you're buying, how to cut losses if it goes wrong. If you can't figure it out, just leave it be.

Many people mistake good news for an opportunity, but often, when the news breaks, it's actually the time to sell. A gap up doesn't necessarily mean a surge; more often, it's the main players pushing the price up to lure retail investors into buying.

Be cautious before holidays; once liquidity drops, prices tend to fluctuate wildly. Instead of stubbornly holding the position, it's better to rest well—having a clear mind is worth more than anything.

For mid-term trading, don't expect to get rich overnight. When prices fall, buy in stages; when they rise, sell in stages. Always keep some cash on hand, and your mindset will stay steady.

For short-term trading, focus on the most active coins. It's easier to buy coins with volume, but exiting can be difficult.

A prolonged downtrend can actually give you more opportunities to react; but if there's a rebound after a sharp drop, don't be greedy. Enter quickly, and exit just as fast—that's the way to survive.

Stop-loss, simply put, is admitting you were wrong about a trade. But as long as your principal is intact, opportunities will always be waiting for you.

You don't need to master every aspect of technical analysis—just a few core indicators are enough. Trying to learn too much will only overwhelm you.

Ultimately, there are only two words that matter if you want to go far in crypto: restraint. Restrain greed, resist frequent trading, and avoid those daydreams of doubling your money overnight. Only those who can do these two things might truly make it to the end.

I really think this is so damn right. Cutting losses is the hardest part, but as long as the principal is there. Frequent trading is truly poison. I used to fall into this trap too, feeling itchy to trade every day. Restraint is easy to say, but doing it can be deadly. When good news comes out, you should run. I've jumped over this pit more than once. Before holidays, you really need to reduce your positions, or else you won't sleep well. Those who can stick to buying dips in batches would have already made a fortune. The problem is, who can truly do it? Coins with no volume for short-term trading should never be touched; it's too easy to get caught. Basically, it's waiting for one or two opportunities, and other times just holding cash.

Hold on, don't go crazy staring at the K-line every day. Really, I've seen too many people with this problem. Jumping in as soon as news breaks? Bro, that's just the self-discipline of a bagholder. People who still stubbornly hold their positions during holidays really have some issues. Stop-loss is essentially admitting defeat, but if you're still alive after losing, that's the core. Restraint—it's easy to say, hard to do. I'm still working on it too.

Really, people who watch the market every day tend to die the fastest. I have too many examples around me. That said, when there's a sharp drop and rebound, who can really resist? It's easy to say but hard to do. It's indeed uncomfortable to cut losses at that moment, but it's much more comfortable than holding on to a losing position forever. Those who see good news as an opportunity have been caught once or twice, haha. I've heard the phrase "key node" countless times, but I just can't find where it is. I've come to realize that keeping cash on hand is important; when you're anxious, you're more likely to make reckless moves. Watching cold coins in short-term trading is just asking for death; the liquidity is extremely poor.

No problem with what you said, but how many people can truly exercise restraint... I am just that kind of fool who stares at the screen every day. Honestly, stop-loss is the hardest lesson; admitting you were wrong is more painful than losing money. Clearing out before holidays is the right move. I always want to hold on a bit longer, but I end up getting cut every time. Selling in batches sounds easy, but when prices rise, I want to chase the last wave—what a bloody lesson. You still need some cash stashed away, so you feel more at ease. Otherwise, going all-in can really drive you crazy. Only coins with volume dare to be moved. I once bought a crappy coin, and I couldn’t even sell it... Restraint is a word that gets annoying, but it really might be the only way to stay alive.
