Some people always say that I am not suitable for trading cryptocurrencies, and even occasional trades have only average results. But I know where my problems lie, so I have never touched contracts.

To put it simply, my biggest weakness is being overly focused. Once I open a position, I keep my eyes glued to the market chart and can't do anything else. Trading futures in this psychological state is too risky.

Instead of blindly chasing the trend, it's better to honestly understand your trading personality and psychological resilience. Avoiding your own pitfalls is sometimes more valuable than finding a way to make money.

This guy really has self-awareness, much clearer than a bunch of bagholders stubbornly holding onto contracts. Knowing you're prone to overthinking and still daring to play with leverage? That's just asking for trouble. Sometimes doing nothing is the best move. Not everyone is suited for this; acknowledging that is actually the start of making money. Staring at the charts until you're mentally exhausted, and then talking about profits—that's just hilarious.

This guy is too rational. I'm the kind of person who stares at the screen until my eyes hurt, so I don't dare to touch contracts right now. Knowing where your ceiling is is a hundred times better than blindly messing around. I just want to ask, how many people are actually using losses to exchange for this kind of understanding? Oh wait, actually most people don't even recognize themselves clearly and are just fooling themselves. That's the most heartbreaking part, isn't it?

This guy knows his stuff. Self-awareness is more valuable than anything else. Knowing that you're prone to watching the market closely, you definitely won't touch derivatives. That awareness is truly on point. I've seen too many people challenge their weaknesses, only to get liquidated and start blaming others. Not everyone should play with leverage. Honestly, those who survive in the crypto world are often not the smartest ones. Recognizing your trading personality is really valuable, much more reliable than shouting slogans blindly. That's right, if you can't get the gains, don't try to grab them. Staying alive is the top priority. Derivatives are pretty much like that—lose your composure and you're done. Not touching them is the smartest choice. Well said, self-awareness is more effective than any technical indicator. If a person isn't clear-headed about this, they'll be wiped out in some 3:30 AM flash crash long before.

This guy really has figured it out, much smarter than those who blow up their accounts every day. --- Self-awareness is indeed more effective than any trading secret. --- But speaking of which, you can also make money just by watching the market; it all depends on whether you're watching the right things. --- I have the same problem; once I open a position, I just can't stop. Better to give up. --- You're right, understanding yourself is more important than anything else. Avoiding traps is indeed more profitable. --- Trading contracts is really not for everyone; if your mentality isn't up to it, don't touch it. --- You need to go through several losses to develop this awareness. --- Exactly, I lack this self-awareness, and now I regret it.
