Don't remind me again today

I met a trader whose account had fallen from six figures to four figures. He stayed up every night watching the market, not because opportunities had come, but because he had lost so much that he couldn't sleep.



Liquidation, chasing highs, fully loaded bottom fishing, emotional overexposure—none of the traps were missed. At the worst times, I suffered consecutive stop losses in a single day, and my mental state completely collapsed.

Later he adjusted the entire trading logic. The core consists of four points:

First, don't chase. If the market isn't giving signals, don't act. Many people lose money because they can't control their hands, always feeling that not taking action means missing out on opportunities.

Secondly, position size is more important than direction. If you're wrong, you can withstand it; if you're right, you can profit. He divides the funds into a main position and a secondary position, with the main position focusing on trend rolling and the secondary position on quick entry and exit, ensuring they do not interfere with each other.

Third, profit tiered take profit. Don't expect to get rich overnight; secure a bit of profit whenever you can. Taking profits is always in style.

Fourth, every transaction must have logical support. Placing orders based on feelings is called gambling, not trading.

After doing this for a few months, he gradually stabilized from an average of several dozen U per day to around 1000 U daily now. When the market is good, it can go higher, and when the market is bad, it won't explode.

Trading in this field really doesn't rely on talent; it relies on discipline and systems. Many people don't lack understanding of the technology; they just can't execute it. They can understand candlestick charts but can't control their positions; they know they need to cut losses, but they are reluctant to do so.

The market is always there. But if your capital is lost, no matter how good the opportunity, it has nothing to do with you. Instead of anxiously staring at the market every day, it’s better to set up a trading framework first, allowing the system to filter out 90% of the noise for you.

Those who can truly survive in this market have never relied on luck.

You are absolutely right, I can deeply relate to the insomnia and monitoring the market during the early morning hours, it's so damn real.

You are absolutely right, it's just hard to control myself... I am exactly like this... When I see a signal, I just have to double my investment, and as a result, I went all in. Now I am also sleep-deprived every day.

Um... this guy is right, the hardest part is the execution. I used to be unable to control myself, seeing the coin price fluctuate made me want to go all in, and the result is predictable. Now I understand, the system is worth much more than inspiration, making money quietly is the way to go.

It sounds harsh, but that's the reality. The most frightening ones are those who look at the Candlestick charts every day and impulsively go all in; I have too many of those around me.

To be honest, listening to the six-digit fall to four digits is really suffocating. I understand too well the feeling of not being able to sleep while staring at the screen in the early morning. This is the consequence of not having a system.

You're right, it's a matter of execution; knowing and doing are worlds apart.

What you said really hits home, my fren who got liquidated is just that kind of person who can't control their hands. This sentence hits the pain point, "Knowing to stop loss but can't bear to play people for suckers." Daily averages of tens to 1000, it doesn't sound that hard... wait, am I overthinking it?
