Not holding good coins and instead chasing hot runners—how dangerous is this approach? First, the gains are not as expected, and when the market doesn't move as hoped, panic sets in and you cut your losses—resulting in holding fewer coins than you initially thought. Then you turn around and pile into another coin, only to find it's not a runner at all, and you lose 30% directly. Then you try another one, this time earning 20%, but then you chase the rise again... Tossing back and forth like this, trading fees eat up a chunk, your mentality collapses, and your account shrinks even more, which is frightening. The problem isn't whether you pick the right coins; it's the vicious cycle of chasing rises and cutting losses: afraid of missing out on the market so you chase, afraid of losses so you cut, afraid of holding cash so you chase again. In the end, the more frequently you trade, the more obvious your losses become. Experienced traders know that instead of frequently switching coins to chase the market, it's better to find a coin with solid fundamentals and hold steady. That's the way to survive longer in the crypto market.

Damn, this is a true reflection of my past two months. Just thinking about it now makes me shudder.

Oh no, I’m talking about myself. I’m too familiar with the routine of cutting losses frequently. --- Isn’t this just my blood, sweat, and tears from last month? Truly incredible. --- Chasing gains and selling losses is really a bottomless pit; both the fee rate and the mentality are ruined. --- The key is that once your mindset collapses, you’re more prone to mistakes. The more frequently you trade, the more you lose. --- Holding a good coin steadily is definitely much more comfortable than changing coins every day. --- I’ve just realized now, I won’t chase anymore. It’s too exhausting. --- Trading fees can really eat up half of your profits. Has no one ever calculated this? --- Why can’t I just quit this bad habit? It’s truly incredible. --- Fundamental support is very important, but who really understands fundamentals? --- Frequent trading is just cutting your own leeks. I’ve realized.

To be honest, this is the most common way retail investors get wiped out. Chasing highs and selling lows—I've seen too many people fall for this.

It's the same old story again, the fastest hand during a sell-off. I've seen too many people ruin themselves on rooftops like this... It's not a problem with the coin, just that you can't resist clicking. Frequent trading has turned you into an ATM. The ones truly making money are those who buy and hold. What about you?

Oh my, isn't this just my blood, sweat, and tears from last year... During the period of frequent coin switching, the trading fees really ate into my profits. I think the key is to hold back and not act impulsively. Those who hold good coins and can resist temptation earn the most. Chasing runners is like gambling; if your mindset collapses, everything is over.

This is my blood and tears story from last year. Frequent trading is really a suicidal move.
