Many times, our defeat is never from the market, but from the anxious mindset of gain and loss.

Nervousness comes from fear of failure, but the desire to succeed never causes panic. The intensity of these two is worlds apart.

Looking back, most of the anxiety accumulated in life has never actually happened. We waste time on fictional crises. It's quite ironic—if we've already decided to think about it, why let fear hijack us? Conversely, since we're afraid, why insist on overthinking?

The rules that the world talks about are not necessarily ones you must follow. The scope for mistakes in life is much broader than we imagine. Failures, setbacks, and what seem like "disorder" are often within an acceptable range. What truly limits us are the chains we impose on ourselves.

That's right, but the real challenge is execution. --- Mindset is one of those things; there's an ocean between knowing and doing. --- Worrying about gains and losses is truly the biggest killer in trading, no doubt. --- I just want to ask, how can I avoid being hijacked by my own mind? --- I need to think carefully about the concept of tolerance for errors. --- Fictitious crises take up half of my life, just thinking about it makes me suffocate. --- Chains are all self-made; this hits hard. --- No matter how well you set stop-losses, they can't beat a poor mindset. Why bother? --- The moment the market falls below your psychological price, all these big principles are useless. --- The desire to succeed and the fear of failure are not even in the same league; so true.

That's right, it's just the inner demon causing trouble; the market isn't really that fierce. Mindset, you know, can truly determine everything... I was also panicked during the crypto crash, but I later realized that losses are within the manageable range. Anxiety is just scaring yourself; virtual crises indeed waste too much time. Rules are dead; people are alive. Why insist on following the routine? The biggest fear is fighting with oneself, which causes you to miss the real opportunity. Alright, I feel a bit enlightened now. Jumping out of the comfort zone should be like this. Rather than worrying about gains and losses, it's better to take a chance; after all, you can't really die. Basically, you're just locking yourself in; only the one who ties the knot can untie it.

That's right, it's a mindset issue; we all scare ourselves. Thinking about breaking new lows every day, and as a result, missing the upward trend, is truly stupid. This disease of being overly cautious is just wasting bullets. That's my dilemma—knowing I could bet but I get scared. The tolerance for error is actually quite large; most people just think too much. Mindset determines everything; the market is secondary. Forget it, I'm just the type of person who overthinks. Only by building mental resilience can you survive in the crypto world. This really hit me; recently, I've been kidnapped by fear. Failure isn't that scary; what's scary is never daring to try.
