Traders understand that the word "correct" has two meanings.

One correct is the immediate correct — I didn’t lose on this trade, I even made a profit. The other correct is the long-term correct — I am still alive, and my account is still growing.

Most people have experienced it: stubbornly holding without stop-loss, continuously adding positions, buying more as the price drops, until at some moment the market turns around, floating losses turn into profits, and the account comes back to life. At that moment, you feel incredibly smart. But such operations can fool you once or twice, but not a hundred times. Especially in contract markets like $BTC and $ETH, leverage amplifies every wrong decision you make. Those who endure one or two rounds often get liquidated in the third or fifth round — not just a drawdown, but actually out of the game.

I’ve seen many traders who rely on willpower to hold on for months, their accounts still looking good, only to lose all the hard-earned profits with one wrong additional position. Sometimes even losing money.

So, what truly matters is not whether this trade made a profit, but to ask yourself — after a hundred trades, am I still here? Can I continuously and steadily extract value from the market, rather than relying on a lucky rebound like a gambler to fix the account? This is another kind of "correct" in trading.
