#数字资产市场洞察 Have you ever thought about why you need to force yourself to take a break whether you're on a winning or losing streak?



The most terrifying aspect of continuous profits lies here—each profitable trade doubles your confidence, making you bolder with the next trade, increasing your position size, lowering your stop-loss, and in the end, a reversal in the market can wipe out your previous profits, or even worse.

On the flip side, continuous losses are equally terrible. After losing two or three trades, a person's mindset can become severely distorted, leading to a desperate attempt to recover losses, increased risk-taking, and distorted operations. At this point, your judgment has completely failed. Don't even think about making money; continuing to trade will only lead to deeper entrapment.

The smartest approach is: after winning enough, take a break and calmly review your trading logic; when losing, it’s even more important to step away from the screen, maybe take a walk, look at something else, and come back only when your mindset has truly calmed down. The problem for many people is not in the technique, but in not knowing when to let go.

Indeed, it's when you are winning that you're most likely to crash; the thought of going all in arises. When losing money, it's even worse; your mind completely shuts down, and you just think about recouping investment, but instead, you sink deeper. It's really hard to stop, but this might be the most valuable lesson in trading. Not every opportunity needs to be seized; knowing when to keep quiet is the winner's mindset.

To be honest, the period of continuous wins is the easiest to crash; confidence is through the roof and I directly removed the stop loss. Really, I've seen too many like this, after making a few trades they feel like the chosen one, and then a wave of reversals leads to closing all positions. The losses are even more painful; at that time, my mind was really not working, it was all a gambler's mentality. The advice to leave the screen is spot on; I understand this pain only after experiencing it. Not setting a stop loss and not sleeping, this is my bloody lesson.

This is the pit I often fall into. I get carried away after winning a couple of times, and then I end up losing it all in one go.

This is my bloody history. After winning three times in a row, I directly topped my Full Position, and as a result, one Reverse wiped it all out. That feeling... The mindset is really more deadly than the technique; it’s most dangerous when you’re winning. When losing, the mind is really unclear; any judgment is just fluff. That’s so right, letting go is much faster than stubbornly trying to make money. Now, I just force myself to walk away after winning two rounds; otherwise, I always think about continuing to fish for more, and in the end, I definitely step into a pit. If I lose two orders in a row, I directly close the app; otherwise, I have to throw in all the previous profits. In this wave of market, I've learned to be smart, controlling my hands; otherwise, it's self-destruction.
