#大户持仓动态 Why do nine out of ten people lose in crypto world trading? A veteran player's five-year review.

Having been in this market for five years, I've seen countless people come in with dreams, only to leave in disgrace. But upon reflection, the problem is actually quite clear—losses are never due to a bad market, but rather because we ourselves haven't understood the rules.

1. Emotions have become the most expensive tuition.

Beginners often fall into this vicious cycle: they rush to chase when they see prices rising, and as soon as there's a pullback, they panic sell. When mainstream coins like $SAGA surge, the FOMO (fear of missing out) mentality can make you rush in without analysis; but when it drops by 10%, you start to regret and often sell at the lowest point. After a few rounds of this, your capital is almost depleted. Greed and fear can hijack your brain, rendering your trading plan ineffective.

2. With information flying everywhere, it can be easier to feel confused.

Every day there are overwhelming messages, various interpretations, and calls in the group. But most people cannot distinguish between useful signals and useless noise. Treating "I heard someone made a profit" as an investment basis and considering "it might rise" as a certainty ultimately makes them victims of the market's emotional fluctuations.

3. Leverage is a double-edged sword, not a tool for getting rich.

The phrase "10x leverage can double your investment with a 10% increase" sounds very tempting, but no one tells you what will happen with the same magnitude of reverse fluctuations. Leverage amplifies not only profits but also human greed and fear. If you misjudge the direction, your account can be wiped out completely.

4. System discipline is the key to survival.

Those who can remain active in this market for a long time have a clear set of rules in hand. They don't rely on feelings, only follow signals. Control individual losses to within 2% of total capital. Think about the conditions before entering the market and set standards before exiting.

Take $ETH as an example: gradually accumulate positions in the range around $3000 (with a total capital not exceeding 40%), set stop-loss below key support, take partial profits as the price increases, and use trailing stops to protect the remaining position. The market changes, but the principles remain the same. Getting rich relies on luck, but whether you can walk away alive depends on your ability to control emotions and execute discipline.
