#Strategy加仓BTC Market fluctuations, the most easily shattered thing is not your account, but your psychological defense.



To succeed in this market, technical skills are just the foundation—the real watershed lies in your mindset.

I have seen too many people seize opportunities to make money, only to have their profits slip away like sand through their fingers. A big bearish candle, and all yesterday’s gains are wiped out—such a feeling is more devastating than a direct loss.

I have experienced it myself. When I make a profit, I get carried away; when I lose, I endure it stubbornly, always hoping that the next K-line will change my fate. Only later did I realize that this is the death trap for most retail investors.

The real turning point came when I learned a word: wait.

Wait for the trend to reveal its true face, wait for the rhythm to become clear. When unsure, observing quietly and waiting is far more reliable than rash movements. The biggest trap for beginners is acting too frequently.

Now my trading logic has changed. After the first profit is secured, I withdraw all the principal first; only the remaining part is true profit—using this to continue the gamble. My mindset instantly shifts.

When floating gains appear, I gradually move my stop-loss up to protect the bottom line; if the market continues to be strong, I let the profits keep rolling. When it reaches the stage of doubling, I lock in most of the profits and no longer play the game of "betting the last copper coin" with the market.

Because I deeply understand: only by staying alive do I have a chance; once dead, everything is negative.

Most people's failure is not due to losing to the market, but losing to four words—impatience, fear, greed, and endurance. Rushing to double, fearing to miss out, greediness, and inability to withstand setbacks.

Stop dreaming of overnight riches. Making quick money isn’t the point; being able to preserve profits is true skill. There are countless opportunities in the market, but the only chip you have to keep playing is the principal on the table.

Really? I'm really afraid that greed and holding onto these four words hit me hard, I tend to forget everything easily when scared by a big downtrend.

That's quite right, but when the market really surges, it's still easy to break down emotionally.

That really hits home. I'm the kind of person who gets carried away after making a profit, and a single bearish candle can send me back to square one.

That's right, mindset is really the Achilles' heel. I'm the kind of person who gets impatient after making a profit, and a single bearish candle can send me back to square one...

It's truly hitting the nail on the head. The fear of greed and the obsession with these four words are our common pitfalls as retail investors.
