#ETH巨鲸增持 The most honest advice every newcomer should hear: Every cent you lose, you actually lost to yourself.
Don’t blame the market conditions. When your position gets liquidated, the root cause is never misreading the technicals, but losing your composure—rushing in at the slightest movement of the K-line, stubbornly holding onto losses hoping to break even, or cashing out in a panic after a tiny gain. In the end, it’s not the market that kills you, it’s your own actions.
Want to survive? Remember these three things—they can really weed out 99% of weak hands:
**First, stop-loss.** Not making money isn’t shameful, but losing your principal is game over. There are plenty of opportunities in the crypto market, but you only have so much ammo. Lose 20% and you can recover; lose 80%? You’d need a 400% gain to get back even. Do you think that’s likely?
**Next, frequency.** Don’t open trades blindly while staring at the charts all day. You think you’re catching trends, but you’re really just racking up fees for the platform. Real profit comes from waiting, not guessing. Itchy fingers are the retail trader’s curse, restraint is the experienced trader’s weapon.
**Finally, position sizing.** Going all-in for one big hit means there won’t be a next time. Small positions keep you in the game—as long as you’re still at the table, you have a chance to turn things around. Stop dreaming of getting rich overnight.
Bottom line—you’re not incapable of making money, you just refuse to admit you can be wrong. The day you learn to control your hands and steady your mind, your account will start to grow.
The crypto world isn’t short on opportunities; it’s short on people who can endure. Want a comeback? Make sure you don’t take yourself out first.

Tsk, there's nothing wrong with what was said, but few people who hear it will actually change.

Honestly, I really didn't manage stop-loss well before, and I'm still catching up on that now.

Honestly, every time I get liquidated it's because of my own itchy hands, not the market's fault.
That's very fair. I've taken heavy losses from stop-losses before, but now I've learned my lesson.
Staring at the charts all day is basically working for the exchange. Now I just do regular investments and let it be.
I really relate to the idea of keeping a small position—surviving is way more important than making quick money.
It's the same old advice again, but the key is whether you can actually stick to it.
The hardest thing in crypto is self-control. I'm still working on that.
If you manage your positions well, your mindset will naturally be stable. That's just the truth.

Seriously, itchy hands are deadlier than misreading the charts. That happened to me last time—I kept staring at the charts and opening positions repeatedly every day, and in the end, most of my profits were eaten up by fees.

That's right, stop-loss is truly a lifesaver, but what should I do if I keep misjudging my own positions?

So true, I'm exactly the type who can't stop watching the charts every day and messing around, only realizing it when my account hits zero...

It really hits home, that's exactly me... Watching the charts every day, itching to trade, and in the end lost all my principal.
