Why do many people in the crypto world fail to achieve satisfactory results? The core issue often lies not in technology, but in mindset.
The most typical phenomenon is as follows: when in loss, one stubbornly holds on, but as soon as there is a profit, they immediately run away. For example, if you don't stop loss when there’s a 25% drawdown, but hurry to close the position when you make a 5% profit. On the surface, this seems cautious, but in reality, you are using enormous risk to exchange for meager returns—this logic is bound to explode from a mathematical perspective.
Why does this happen? To put it simply, it’s the psychological bias at play. When there are unrealized losses, as long as you haven't closed the position, there’s no real sense of "losing for sure" psychologically, so people are willing to hold on, even betting on a market reversal. However, once the account turns positive, and green turns to red, a new anxiety arises—fearing that the profits in hand will slip away again. To lock in this "certain happiness," you give up the opportunity to capture larger gains later. Isn't this self-castration?
A comparison of the data makes it clear. Some traders have a win rate of only 46.51%, yet they can still achieve a monthly return of 210%. The secret is actually quite simple: fully utilize the volatility of assets like BTC, trigger stop-losses immediately when wrong, and never let losses expand; when right, as long as the trend momentum is still there, hold on to the profits tightly without letting go.
Think about it, if you get off the ride when you are making a 5% profit, you are actually only participating in the trading system's "stop-loss part", while artificially cutting off the "explosion part". The real trading logic should be: take a risk of 1 point to exchange for 3 points, or even 10 points of profit, rather than the other way around, turning it into high-risk, low-return gambling.
This is not some profound theory, it's just a rule.
