Many people now can easily find various trading courses and lectures, but the real principle is actually very simple—apprentice the basics, and self-cultivation depends on the individual.
Trading and learning are no different. Attending classes is just information input; no matter how good the teacher's explanations are, they are just someone else's thinking framework. Just listening without practicing? Never expect to improve.
The key is that after listening, you need to digest this knowledge into your own methodology. But this can't be done through wishful thinking; it requires actual operation, countless reviews, and summaries to achieve. Those who have experienced missed opportunities, massive losses, and stop-losses understand—it's these painful lessons that can shape you into a stronger trader.
Here's a point many overlook: BTC technical analysis and theoretical knowledge are only half the story; the other half is on-the-spot response ability. The market changes rapidly, testing your reaction speed and decision-making skills at critical moments. The gap between theory and practice is much larger than you think.
Therefore, the ability to self-correct becomes especially important. Can you objectively view your mistakes? Can you face uncomfortable decisions head-on? If not, you'll just keep spinning in your own mental vortex, sinking deeper and deeper.
True growth comes from the determination to constantly deny and correct yourself.

That's right, talking about theory on paper is useless. My own stop-loss losses are the best teachers.
Just listening to lectures won't make you successful; if it did, everyone would be a millionaire by now. The key is to endure a few waves of pullbacks yourself to truly understand.
No matter how brilliant the theory is, a market black swan can wipe it out. Reaction speed is the life-saving straw.
Reflecting on your own mistakes is easier said than done. Who the hell wants to admit they're bad at this?
The biggest lack in the crypto world isn't knowledge but the courage to keep overturning your own beliefs.
The courses I've listened to the most ended up with the worst losses. It's hilarious.

That's so true. The few times I got caught selling too early were really lessons learned the hard way. Now I react much faster when watching the market.
Just listening to lectures isn't enough; you have to repeatedly learn from your mistakes.
Theory and practice are really two different things. The choices made in that moment in the market are the true test.
Self-correction is so crucial. Admitting mistakes is truly more important than anything else.
In the crypto world, so many people just can't change their trading habits no matter what, and they deserve to lose.
Discipline is personal; this saying holds true in trading.
No matter how many lessons you listen to, nothing beats a real stop-loss.
You're right, but very few people can actually do it; most just listen to the lessons and treat them as motivational quotes.
Who understands the feeling at the moment of selling? That's the real tuition.
Theory and practice are two different things. I've suffered this loss too many times.
The problem is that many people don't have the mindset to face their bad decisions head-on.
Those who review their trades daily make money, while those who keep making excuses are still trapped.
