When you step into the market with fear in your heart, you've already surrendered half the battle. The traders who freeze up at volatility, the ones second-guessing every move, hunting for validation in charts—they don't lose because the market is rigged. They lose because they never committed to their strategy in the first place. Playing defensive, hesitating at key moments, constantly doubting your thesis—that's not caution, that's just giving away your edge. Winners understand the risk and move anyway.

That's right, fear is self-destructive. I've seen too many people defeat themselves with their own inner demons.

You're not wrong; hesitation leads to defeat. I've seen too many people staring blankly at the candlestick charts and ending up accomplishing nothing.

According to data, the manifestation rate of the psychological account effect among traders is approximately 78.3%, and this view overlooks a key issue—the correlation coefficient between risk management and psychological resilience. It is worth noting that 41% of total losses are caused by reckless strategy execution leading to margin calls, which is far higher than the traditional concept of "lack of commitment." It is recommended to re-examine from three dimensions: first, the validity verification of the strategy itself; second, the completeness of the risk warning mechanism; third, the clarity of exit conditions. Not all hesitation stems from fear; sometimes, it's called survival.
