#密码资产动态追踪 The most painful lesson in trading contracts is that — not making money often has nothing to do with your analysis skills, but rather being trapped by the psychological fear of missing out.



Look at how people around you lose money? The套路 is basically the same: when the market drops, they dare not buy the dip; when it rebounds, they can't sit still. They get impulsive, chase after the rally, and end up messing up the rhythm, repeatedly getting trapped. This is called FOMO anxiety, and it’s especially common.

The approach I’ve figured out is actually very simple — just two rules: don’t chase during a dip, don’t rush during a rally.

How exactly? When the market is falling, I just watch. Wait until it truly rebounds and the structure is confirmed before considering action. When the market is rising, I don’t rush to buy; I wait for a pullback and test of key support levels before making a move.

This way, you will indeed miss some sudden, violent surges. Seeing assets like $ETH and @E5@’s AAVE running on the screen, I feel a bit regretful for not catching the moves. But what I gain is very real: higher success rate, fewer liquidations, and a more stable mindset. The market’s real danger isn’t the fluctuations, but greed and impatience. You only see the profit accounts in others’ screenshots, but you don’t see the blood and tears behind them — how many times they missed out or got liquidated.

To be honest, missing out isn’t the real problem; what’s scary is opening trades blindly out of fear of missing out. Contract trading isn’t about who can rush in faster; ultimately, it’s about who can survive longer and stay stable.

If you still get shaken out at the first sign of a shakeout or get caught at the top chasing highs, the problem is probably not your technical analysis but your trading rhythm being completely chaotic. Slow down, understand the market clearly before acting, and it will be easier to seize stable profit opportunities.

Oh no, someone finally said it. I’ve been saying that the anxiety of missing out is particularly toxic. Really, it’s indeed uncomfortable to see others eating the meat while you’re only drinking the soup, but rather than chasing highs and getting caught, it’s better to stay steady and alive. Wait, I need to remember this move: wait for the pullback to test the support level before taking action.

actually, this fomo-driven liquidation spiral is fundamentally a game theory problem dressed up as market mechanics. the real paradigm shift happens when traders stop treating fomo as a market signal and start recognizing it as behavioral arbitrage against their own capital.

This really hits close to home. The guy around me is exactly like that—chasing highs every day and getting crushed, it's exhausting. Missing out on gains can really drive you crazy; just seeing others' profit screenshots makes it hard to control yourself. Slowing down is actually the right way to make money, but there's a world of difference between knowing and doing. Missing out on a rally is painful, but getting liquidated is even worse—which one hurts more? A stable mindset is the key to a stable market; this order can't be reversed.

This article is really amazing. FOMO anxiety is like a curse; once you're entangled, you're basically done. My deepest realization is that watching others' profit screenshots makes me jealous, but only when I chase high and get caught do I understand what "mental demon" means. Gradually, I’ve figured out the strategy of not chasing dips and not rushing into rises. Although I might miss some takeoff opportunities, the number of liquidation incidents has indeed decreased, and that’s true profit. To put it simply, trading contracts is not about who reacts faster, but about who maintains a stable mindset and survives longer.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of fool who can't sit still when I see a rebound. You don't even want to ask how many times I've chased the top. Now I realize that the biggest test of psychology is during a dip. Holding onto money at that time is the hardest, but it's definitely more reliable to wait for a rebound before entering rather than chasing the high. The anxiety of missing out is truly an invisible killer of trading accounts. Living longer is the real key.

Honestly, I totally understand the anxiety of missing out; I was also caught off guard at first. Now I finally realize that contracts test human nature, and technical analysis actually comes second; mindset is the ultimate weapon.

This statement is spot on. The anxiety of missing out is indeed the biggest helper for cutting leeks. I've been through this thing too many times myself. Once you see through this, it becomes much easier. You don't need to watch the market every day, nor chase those violent surges. Just wait patiently for the structure to confirm before taking action, and the liquidation rate drops straight down. To put it simply, it's a mindset game. Technical analysis is actually secondary.
