Recently, I operated on a certain project token, starting with a principal of 500 USDT to layout. Friends who held on consistently have indeed doubled their investment, which is undeniable. However, those who frequently entered and exited, making round-trip trades, actually lost money. Even I find it nerve-wracking to watch.

Honestly, my mental pressure has been especially high during this period. I’m afraid that everyone might lose money within my strategy, and I myself don’t feel like playing with large accounts. I spend every day analyzing the market and self-reflecting. Sometimes, the best choice is to pause, to give myself and my mindset a chance to reset. I plan to get a good sleep first and clear my mind.

In trading, sometimes holding and waiting yield more stable returns than frequent operations, but the rollercoaster of emotions is very real. I hope everyone can find a rhythm that suits them.

Holding on is the key, frequent operations are just self-destructive trading. Anyway, I only believe in one principle: beating the market is not about technology, but about mindset. Doubling 500u is nothing special; the key is not feeling blocked inside, which is more valuable than anything else. Seeing the market so much that it causes mental breakdowns is normal; not sleeping well makes a trading life not worth living. To put it simply, you must see through human greed; otherwise, no matter how much technical analysis you have, it’s all useless. Friends chase gains and sell at losses every day, no wonder they end up losing everything; there’s nothing to pity. This is probably the biggest paradox in trading: those who understand it often can’t make money because they start doubting life.

Damn, that’s so true. Those who frequently operate are the ones who end up losing their money themselves. Holding on is the key, but the mental strain is really tough. Rest up and come back later. Don’t wear yourself out; this game is still long.

Handshake, this is the watershed between making money and losing money. Not holding on is truly a death sentence. Watching others double their investments while you keep making frequent moves, serves you right. Mindset is indeed easy to overlook; sleeping is much more important than watching the market.

Handshake, this is reality. Frequent trading really only has one outcome. Holding is the key, but who can withstand that kind of torment? I understand your mental pressure, don't be too hard on yourself, bro. Losing money is your own fault. Sleeping is indeed the best trading strategy, no joke. It's really just a game of discipline and luck; you've already won.

Haha, that's how the crypto world is. Those who hold on profit greatly, while those who act impulsively end up cutting losses. Really, frequent trading is just working for the exchange. Sleeping truly is the best trading strategy. I've thought the same. Mindset is much harder than skills. To put it simply, you just have to be patient. Doubling 500u sounds great, but I can understand the feeling of watching others lose money. Clear your mind. Sometimes stopping can help you see things more clearly.
