After spending so many years in the crypto space, to be honest, I almost got wiped out by the market two years ago



My account dropped all the way from the peak to less than half. That period was no exaggeration—I had continuous insomnia, and the first thing I did when waking up in the middle of the night was to grab my phone and check the charts

Later I realized that losing everything wasn't because I wasn't working hard, but because I had been operating in a way that goes against human nature

Most retail traders share one flaw:

When it drops, they hold stubbornly, with only one thought in mind: just wait a bit longer and I'll break even

When it rallies a bit, they sell immediately, afraid that their gains will vanish

But the market never spoils you

What you should do is the opposite: when the trend is favorable, dare to hold; when the level is broken, dare to admit defeat

Just this one move—stretch profits as long as possible and cut losses short—can truly save you

It won't make you rich overnight, but it will prevent you from getting carried out

There's another thing that many people watch every day but don't know how to use: volume

Volume is the breath of the market

You'll notice that some coins can climb slowly while volume shrinks

These often still have potential ahead

After breaking below a key level, if volume shrinks and the price moves sideways, it's often giving you a second chance

Conversely, when volume increases but the price can't push higher, you need to become alert

Those explosive volume surges that blow off the top look exciting, but they often lead to consolidation or even a downturn

I've also stepped into countless traps regarding position sizing

I used to think that holding more assets was safer

Later I understood that the more you hold, the more chaotic your mindset and the itchier your fingers

Two or three is enough. If you really can't control your hands, the problem isn't the market—it's you

Short-term trading isn't about blindly jumping in

After a sharp drop, there is often a rebound

A sudden surge close to the end of the day often slaps you the next day

These things are actually simple when you spell them out, but you need to last long enough to truly understand them

And one more very important point: after a big win, you must rest with an empty position

The market's most ruthless moment is when you just feel like you've 'gotten it'

That inflated mentality is more deadly than any bearish news#TradFiCFD黄金大师赛

Don't fight back stubbornly when you're losing

The more impatient you are, the more chaotic it gets, and the easier it is to make consecutive mistakes

Wait until your emotions are back and the rhythm is clear, then act—it's never too late

Opportunities are always there, whether in a bull market or a bear market

What's truly hard is never the market, but whether you can control that hand that wants to place random orders

If you still don't know what to do, follow Sister Qing. As long as you take the initiative, I am always here!!!$IN
