Ever caught yourself staring at a chart for hours, convincing yourself "this time is different"?

Here's the uncomfortable truth: your gut feeling about that memecoin won't save your portfolio. The traders who survive aren't the ones with the strongest beliefs—they're the ones with the tightest discipline.

Think about it. You can be 100% convinced a token will moon, but if you ignore your stop-loss, that conviction becomes expensive tuition.

What actually works? Three non-negotiable habits:

• Mark your entry and exit points before opening the position
• Calculate how much you're willing to lose (then stick to it)
• Click the button when your criteria hit—no "just five more minutes"

Your emotions will beg you to hold. Your discipline is what keeps you in the game.

Conviction gets you interested. Discipline gets you paid.
