After trading for so long, a friend of mine recently summarized a painfully honest feeling: just glancing at the crypto market行情 is like wasting your stock account returns.

This statement sounds a bit extreme, but upon reflection, it indeed hits many people's pain points. Holdings in A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and US stocks require attention, and crypto market fluctuations are constantly testing nerves. It seems impossible to have both fish and bear paws.

Either fully bet on traditional financial markets or focus main energy on crypto assets; trying to manage both often results in neglecting both. The cost of distraction can sometimes be more painful than the benefits of diversification.

How do you balance this issue?

Haha, that hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who wants to buy the dip on both sides, but ends up getting caught on both sides...

Haha, that's why I just focus on the crypto world. Stocks are just sitting there gathering dust, out of sight out of mind. Distracting attention is real; checking two markets a day really fries the brain. But honestly, the volatility of crypto is the real thrill; everything else is just cabbage. My approach is to pick one and stick with it. Anyway, since I can't make money in either, why suffer on both sides? Wanting both ends up with negative returns in the end—lessons learned the hard way. Basically, it's greed. Trying to buy the dip everywhere, but ending up buying everything at the top.

Isn't this just my daily routine? Watching the A-shares in the morning, monitoring crypto prices at noon, and placing orders in the evening... and ending up losing on both sides. If you ask me, instead of distracting yourself, it's better to choose one and stick to it, don't damn well try to have your foot in two boats. I'm just greedy, and now you all see the outcome. Two words to summarize: messing around. Watching too much crypto really becomes addictive, and suddenly you forget about your stock account. It's really a discipline issue, but who among us truly has self-discipline... haha. Not choosing is impossible; I want both fish and bear paws, and end up with everything in ruins.

Haha, this friend is spot on. That's exactly how I got cut from both sides—stocks look like they're going up, but the crypto market crashes. --- Honestly, it's really impossible to take care of both markets well at the same time. I'm currently in a state of giving up. --- That's why I simply went all in on crypto later. Anyway, being distracted only causes more losses, so might as well take a gamble. --- It really hurts. I can lose money just by watching the market trends. Is this some kind of curse? --- So in the end, most people still choose to go all-in on one thing. Having too many desires means you can't hold on to anything.

Haha, really, as soon as I start watching the market, I want to trade short-term. But then I end up losing everything in a counter move.

Oh no, you're absolutely right. That's exactly how I get divided. Right now, I'm really glued to the screen until I become numb, and I end up losing even faster. My approach is to simply stick to one position to avoid being dragged down on both sides. Either set a stop-loss and relax, or just stop watching altogether.

Haha, you're so right. I'm the kind of person who can't take care of both sides, and as a result, both accounts are bleeding.

Haha, this friend is right, I'm in the same state right now—monitoring the market with one hand and losing money with the other. Trying to win on both sides just ends up failing on both, so I still need to choose a main focus.
