Don't remind me again today

#数字货币市场回调 After being in the Crypto Assets market for so many years, I am increasingly convinced of one thing: Technical Analysis may only account for a small part of success or failure; more often, it is psychological resilience that plays a role.



Have you ever had this experience? The coin in your hand rises to the target price, and you think to yourself, "Just wait a little longer, it might rise even more," but the next day it directly retraces by 20%. Or when you're at a loss, you stubbornly hold on without stopping the loss, fantasizing that one day you'll break even, but in the end, you get stuck deeper and deeper.

To be honest, I felt the same way when I first entered the circle. At that time, I thought that by looking at more technical indicators and researching more projects, I could definitely make a profit. Later, I realized that if I couldn't control my emotions, it wouldn't matter how much I learned.

**About Expected Returns**
Under normal circumstances, an annualized return stabilizing at 10%-20% is already quite good. Over 30%? That's basically the high-risk zone. Don't envy those in your friend circle who share profit screenshots every day; they are either only showing you the profitable trades or it's completely fake. Money counts only when it's actually in your pocket; investing isn't about competing with others on who has the highest gains.

**Methods to Face Volatility**
Many people panic when they see the price plunge and fear missing out when it rises. This anxiety is actually due to a lack of a clear trading plan. My current habit is to set profit-taking and stop-loss levels before entering the market, and execute when the time comes, without giving myself a chance to hesitate. By using rules to constrain emotions, I won't lose my footing at critical moments.

**Hot Trap**
According to statistics, most people's losses come from blindly chasing trends – rushing in when a certain coin is being hotly discussed online, often picking up the last baton. The real opportunities are usually hidden in obscure corners; once everyone is aware of them, the risks arise.

**Patience is more important than anything else**
Buying at a low is not difficult; the challenge lies in holding on. Many people clearly buy at the bottom but can’t endure the sideways fluctuations; after finally waiting for a high point, they sell and then can't help but chase back in. Ultimately, it comes down to being too restless. Those who truly make money are the ones who slowly build positions at low levels and exit calmly at high levels.

I started trading in 2018, initially investing only ten thousand yuan, and now I have taken this as my main occupation. There are indeed no shortcuts on this path, but once you stabilize your mindset, you will realize: trading is not about betting on price fluctuations, but about refining yourself.

You are absolutely right, I'm the kind of person who gets shaky hands just by looking at a green chart...

ngl, the whole "emotion over technicals" thing checks out statistically... traced through enough wallet clusters to confirm most retail gets liquidated during normal volatility patterns. those screenshot flexers tho? classic rugpull signatures, seen it a hundred times.

Take profit and stop loss are easy to talk about but incredibly difficult to execute. I have never actually done it, haha.

Stop loss is easy to say but hard to do; I failed at this stop loss hurdle...
