Your account lost 300,000 USDT, and now you don't even dare to open it. Does this scenario sound a bit familiar?



Actually, you know it deep down. The market doesn't target anyone; the problem is entirely on your side.

You're afraid of missing out when chasing gains, panicking at the first dip, stubbornly holding onto losses without selling, hesitant to sell after making some profit. During the day, you pretend nothing's wrong, but at night, you stare at the K-line chart until dawn, complaining about market manipulation while dreaming of a turnaround.

Your technical skills are not bad; indicators, patterns, and various logic are all in place. But when it comes to real trading, everything collapses. The most ironic part is— the problem isn't in your technical analysis at all, but in your inability to control yourself.

Think about those losing trades; the reasons are actually quite consistent: wanting quick profits, wanting to prove yourself, or hoping for a reversal in one shot. The result is heavy positions, placing orders based on feelings, betting on the direction. Once you survive one trade, your confidence grows, but eventually, you block all exit routes.

I used to fall into this trap too. What truly turned around my trading performance wasn't some advanced technical study.

It was changing my mindset:

Stop predicting market movements; just follow the trend. Never fully commit; always leave room for a turnaround. Don’t rely on intuition; every trade must have a clear stop-loss and take-profit plan.

When you stop thinking "Can this trade turn around," you'll find it easier to wait for real opportunities.

The rules of the crypto world are harsh but fair. It only punishes traders driven by emotions and rewards those with discipline and rhythm.

What you truly need, rather than learning a new set of indicators, is to find a trading logic that helps you jump out of emotional traps.

300,000 directly gone? Damn, that must be quite a struggle. But to be honest, this article really hit home, especially that line "The problem is not in the technology." I've been through it too, studying metrics every day, and in the end, I was brought down by my own greed. The worst feeling is that "survive once and become bolder" mentality—winning a round makes you float, but then you lose everything in the last round. Discipline is truly more important than anything. The real change happens the moment you stop gambling with a full position. Keeping some margin truly changes your mindset.

Oh no, isn't this talking about me? Lost 300,000 and my mentality collapsed. Can't control myself, that sentence really hits home. No matter how good the technology is, it's useless. Feels like I'm telling my story, staying up until 5:30 in the evening watching the market. The advice to not hold a full position must be followed, or you'll go bankrupt sooner or later. I used to want to go all-in and turn things around, but thinking back, I really was a fool. Stop-loss and take-profit, these two words sound simple, but when it comes to actual execution, it's just impossible to do. The crypto world is like this; the test isn't really your technical skills, but your self-control.

Losing 300,000 and still able to write such a long piece of motivational content, I really respect that.

Losing 300,000 directly and still dare to post this kind of motivational message? I just want to know how much more you lost with that set of logic later on.

300,000 lost... I knew it would turn out like this, probably another full-position trade.
