Recently, our trading performance has been quite good in this wave of market movements, with 5 consecutive wins all successfully achieved. To be honest, this round should have been able to reach 8 consecutive wins, but we chose to exit early on 3 of the long positions, instead of holding on stubbornly.

This is what I want to emphasize—the true essence of trading lies here. Many people pursue big profits, but often end up with big losses. What should the correct approach be? Small losses, small gains, and occasionally a big win. This kind of rhythm is sustainable.

The core issue is: don't hold onto losing positions. As long as we can trade steadily, with proper risk control, our monthly returns can meet targets. This way, month after month, accumulation becomes easy, and stable growth is achievable. The crypto market changes quickly, but a stable trading discipline is even faster.

Really, taking profits in time is more of a test of human nature than holding on and trying to make big money. A 5-game winning streak is indeed good, but the key is that you didn't get greedy. Not many people realize this. It's difficult—watching the market continue to rise, and your hands start to itch. This is the secret to stable profits, most people can't understand it. You're right, accumulating small gains is the way to go. Those who go all-in on a single bet will eventually have to give it all back. Discipline > skills; it would be great if it were that simple.

A five-in-a-row is easy to talk about, but the real challenge is surviving to see the next month. --- This sounds comfortable to say, but I'm afraid it's easier said than done... Let's talk again in a few months. --- Holding positions is indeed toxic, but greed is even worse... But to be fair, was your three提前离场 really accurate prediction or just pure luck? --- Stable growth sounds nice, but in the crypto market, if nothing goes wrong, that's already a win. --- I agree with not holding positions, but 99% of people will still hold after hearing this, including the person saying it haha. --- Small losses, small gains, occasionally big wins... The problem is, how do you judge when that occasional big win will happen? --- Month after month, accumulation... the prerequisite is to survive through this month. --- It sounds like a textbook, but the real skill is not to lose your mind during actual trading.

ngl, the whole "exit early and call it discipline" narrative... historically precedent suggests this is just recalibration bias dressed up as strategy. like, arguably you left 3x on the table but framed it as risk management? that's some impressive governance of the narrative tbh

A five-game winning streak is indeed impressive, but I have to admit, quitting early was a questionable move. Many people just stubbornly refuse to give up, and end up losing everything in the last round. Honestly, it's a mindset issue; greed is the biggest killer in trading. This month has been stable again. Continuing to stick to discipline is the real key.

A 5-game winning streak is impressive, but leaving early on those 3 trades is the real skill. I've always said greed is the biggest killer in trading, and your approach is correct. If you could truly stick to not holding onto losing trades, doubling your account by the end of the month wouldn't be a dream. The key is that most people can't do it.

A 5-game winning streak sounds great, but the real winners are never those who boast about consecutive wins; the key is to live longer. I totally agree with leaving the game early. Many people refuse to admit their mistakes because they can't let go of that small profit, only to lose it all in the end. To put it simply, trading is a psychological game; greed is the original sin.

A five-game winning streak is pretty good, but your "should be able to win 8 in a row" is really impressive, just like a gambler's self-soothing haha. I support leaving early; really, many people lose money by stubbornly holding onto their positions, unable to control their greed. Talking about steady trading is easy, but actually doing it is really hard. I often hesitate to cut losses when I should. Honestly, the crypto market only accepts this approach: discipline > luck. There's nothing wrong with that statement.

Exiting early is indeed a stable move, but the key is to have discipline. Most people can't do it. I've heard "don't hold on too long" too many times. The real issue is execution; the psychological barrier is the hardest to overcome. Five consecutive wins sound impressive, but missing out because you didn't hold on? That mindset needs adjustment. I agree with the logic of month after month, but I'm worried about changing plans halfway through. Stable trading ≠ guaranteed profit; the market is still as dangerous as ever. Holding onto positions is indeed toxic, but not all early exits are correct. This round was pretty good, but don't trust the feeling of consecutive wins too much. The market can turn quickly.

Damn, I'm really afraid of greed. I've seen too many people lose everything because they refused to take profits. I agree with exiting early, but to be honest, a 5-win streak isn't necessarily stable; the market can change suddenly. Stable growth sounds great, but the hard part is being able to stick with it for several months.
