#数字资产动态追踪 Why do you always find it hard to control your frequent trading? Is it really an addiction?



Actually, no. The real culprit is the little money in your account.

Think about it, an account with around 2000U, watching the charts feels like monitoring an ECG. A few dollars up makes you ecstatic, a slight dip makes you want to smash the screen. Your small principal can't handle any fluctuations, yet you still dream of doubling your wealth with it.

Then the story becomes: chasing gains → cutting losses → margin call → insomnia → repeat. You're not really trading; you're just contributing to transaction fees and tracking K-line emotions.

The insight I gained from spending 2000U on tuition is this:

Losing money is never about the market; it's all about your impatience to turn things around quickly. The tighter your capital, the itchier your fingers, and the more your mindset is prone to collapse. It wasn't until I changed my approach that I understood—

Switching from "trading ten times a day" to "checking once a week," from "chasing the market" to "waiting for the market to come to me." Miraculously, the account started to grow slowly but steadily. From a few thousand, to tens of thousands, to six figures... I realized that in the crypto world, money isn't quick money; it's slow money.

Here's the truth: traders who truly make money earn their excess returns from self-discipline—being willing to hold off on opening positions. When your mindset is no longer hostage to fifty or a hundred dollar price swings, the market will start working for you.

Still tossing and turning over daily ups and downs, staying up late watching charts? Still exhausted by small fluctuations?

The key is understanding three questions: how to allocate funds, when to enter the market, and where to set your stop-loss. Figuring these out clearly is more effective than blindly guessing for three years.

It's a bit harsh, but it really hits the point. The small fluctuations in tiny accounts can drive people crazy.

It's just 2000U mistaken for an electrocardiogram, haha, this description is spot on. That's right, when the principal is small, it's easiest to lose your composure. Me too, during the period of dozens of operations a day, I was purely a fee contributor. Now I just look at the weekly chart, and my account doesn't fluctuate as much. Asset allocation is indeed a fundamental skill; many people get stuck right here.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but with too little principal, the mentality completely collapses, it's no different from gambling.

That was really harsh. I got caught like that two months ago, and now I watch my $2000 account obsessively every day. Stop talking about it. I’ve stopped checking the app with my finger, now I only open it once a week, and my sleep has actually improved haha. This is the magic of the crypto world, the more you try to hold on, the more you lose. Let go, and money will come naturally.
