I withdrew twenty thousand from my account yesterday and stored it separately. After playing for these years, I've noticed a pattern - every time a small principal can double, then I go all in and lose everything.

Market opportunities have always been there; the key is to leave yourself some backup. I want to share a realization with everyone: you understand the ways to make money in this circle, your skills are not lacking, so where exactly is the problem?

In simple terms, it's four words: can't hold the coins.

Really, can't hold on.

Say it again, can't hold on.

This must be etched in your mind - the ones that can wipe you out are never the dealers, never the black swans, but your own hands that can't hold back. The knife that cuts your losses and leaves the market is always wielded by yourself.

honestly this hits different when you realize your portfolio's not actually fighting the market, it's fighting your own nervous system. the "hodl hands" thing everyone talks about? that's literally just applied neuroscience at this point. your amygdala doesn't care about your technical analysis tbh

Ha, this is too heart-wrenching, it’s always like this... --- You're right, being impulsive is really the number one killer, I've been tricked by myself countless times like this. --- I should get "can't hold coins" tattooed on me. --- I've memorized the number twenty thousand, take note of it. --- An impulsive hand is indeed the biggest enemy, brother. --- It feels like this is talking about me, I always almost get liquidated. --- How come I didn’t think of leaving some backup? --- Cut Loss to the point of questioning life, it’s still self-inflicted. --- Damn it, I've been hit in the soft spot again. --- All in is the happiest, but getting liquidated is also the most tragic. --- I've noticed this pattern too, but I just can’t change this habit.

Haha, really, going all in is always the same routine, just can't control myself. The four characters "can't hold the coin" should really be tattooed on my brain, otherwise the bloody lessons are for nothing. Setting aside twenty thousand for this operation, I give a thumbs up, just don’t know how long I can stick to it. The knife for cutting losses is really wielded by oneself, can't blame anyone, just blame myself for being too quick. It’s really a mindset issue; there are many people who know how to play, but very few can hold back.

This guy is absolutely right, not being able to hold onto coins is indeed a terminal illness. I messed myself up like that, but luckily I've changed now. Going all in sounds great, but it's even more exhilarating when you die. The phrase 'not being able to hold onto coins' is more toxic than anything. Here we go with this topic again... I've been played for suckers twice already. To be honest, impulsiveness is the original sin, and the biggest enemy in the crypto world is oneself. Really, not being able to control oneself is worse than not being able to control the market.

Indeed, this is a cliché but it just cannot be changed. I myself am like this; when I make a profit, I want to go all in, and when I lose, I cut losses and run. To put it bluntly, it's still a mindset issue. Technical Analysis is something everyone can do; the key is execution. Keeping some principal is indeed a good strategy, as leaving a way out for yourself allows you to last longer. The phrase 'can't hold onto coins' is indeed heart-wrenching. Every time I think I can endure it, but once I recover losses, I can't hold back those hands. The moment I cut losses is always the decision I regret the most.

Haha, that's me! Every time I want to hold on tight, but as soon as it falls by ten percent, I start getting itchy hands. You're right, the real enemy is my own mouth. I should tattoo the words "can't hold the coin" on myself. Keeping twenty thousand is indeed smart, leaving a way out for myself. I'm currently pondering how to endure without moving. It sounds simple, but doing it is really hellishly difficult. I deeply relate; every time I say this time will be different, but it’s the same story again. Isn't it just a mindset issue? Knowing I should hold on but always failing to resist.

actually, if you ran a basic regression analysis on your trade execution patterns, the correlation between your emotional state and portfolio liquidation is probably 0.87+ — statistically significant, but predictably so. the irony is you *know* this intellectually yet your behavioral finance model keeps defaulting to panic-selling. classic case of knowing the theory but failing the empirical test.
