The fundamental reason why many traders incur losses is not a lack of in-depth research, but being controlled by market sentiment.
The true logic of making money is actually very simple: don't chase the hot trends, but ask yourself—what kind of assets can withstand the cycle? What kind of decisions can minimize losses? The gap is never about quick reaction or luck, but about the judgment system formed through continuous learning.
What does this system include? First is judgment—being able to distinguish between bubbles and real value. Second is patience—knowing how to hold positions at the right time and not be scared out by candlestick patterns. Lastly is a sense of boundaries—understanding your own capabilities and knowing when to avoid certain opportunities.
Starting a business is the same, trading is the same. Ultimately, it's never about reacting quickly, but whether your thinking system is solid enough.

That's right, the problem is that most people simply can't stick to this system.
Understandably, how many can truly hold on without wavering? Most are driven by emotions.
That's why retail investors will always be the little guys, and systematic thinking is more valuable than anything else.

Well said, I'm the blind cat who is controlled by emotions.
Being able to hold it is the real skill, and I can't count the times I have cut positions at the speed of light.

That's so true, I'm currently one of those people who are being driven crazy by emotions haha
```
Not chasing the trend really hit me, I previously had all my funds in a certain concept coin, and it got cut in half
```
The hardest part still feels like holding onto positions; as soon as I see the decline, my mentality collapses
The capability circle explanation was excellent; many people actually haven't even thought about what they can or cannot play
