#数字资产市场动态 Market trends tend to make you want to chase, fearing missing out. Have you really followed along? Instead, you start feeling uneasy—rushing to sell when it rises, breaking out in a cold sweat when it drops.



If you say it's a skill issue, it's better to say that every new trader faces a "mental barrier" they must overcome.

I've been through it too—no matter how clear my mind is, my fingers move quickly. Chasing gains and selling on dips all day, getting self-satisfied when winning, wanting to turn the tide when losing, creating a vicious cycle. In the end, I realized: I thought I was trading, but actually I was battling my own anxiety.

Later, I understood a truth: most losses in the market are not due to the market itself, but stem from inner instability. Those who can survive long in this market share a common trait—

They don’t rely on guesses, but on "clarity."

I’ve set three bottom lines for myself, which might serve as a reference for you:

**First: Strategy first, discipline foremost.**
Set your take-profit and stop-loss levels before entering, and don’t change them no matter how intense the market gets. Stick firmly to your rules, don’t change your mind halfway.

**Second: Screen less, talk more to yourself.**
Market fluctuations on the screen aren’t necessarily risky; it’s your judgment being hijacked by volatility that’s the problem. The longer you stare, the faster your rationality erodes.

**Third: Cultivating the mind is more important than learning techniques.**
The market is like a mirror—it reflects not how brilliant your analysis is, but your mindset when facing uncertainty. It never rewards impatience, only favors those who can "stay calm."

Real gains are not about catching every wave, but about—

Being decisive when it’s time to act, and remaining calm when it’s better to hold.

Those who can control their hands, stick to their rules, and keep their hearts steady will stand firm in the market and live comfortably.

Instead of trying to predict the market, it’s better to first master yourself. That’s the hardest lesson and the most worth investing effort in.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who acts quickly but thinks slowly, often losing everything in a rush. Oh my God, just looking at this makes me think of the last time I FOMOed in and got trapped... It really hurts. Discipline is easy to talk about but deadly to practice, and I'm still learning. The rule of not spamming is the hardest for me to follow; how can I not look, afraid of missing out on something... Mindset is indeed the devil, much harder than technical analysis, I’m not joking. This is so true, most of the money I lost was basically my own fault.

It sounds good, but how many people actually follow through? I'm the kind of person who tends to hesitate; even after setting a stop-loss, I still want to change it.

You're absolutely right. I fell for this before, very reckless. --- Can't hold back anymore. I see the screen and want to act, but it's all reverse operations. --- That's the truth. Most people aren't bad at technology; it's just their mindset that collapses. --- Setting take profit and stop loss is useless. When it rises, I want to chase high; when it falls, I want to buy the dip. Pure self-deception. --- The most heartbreaking part is the last sentence. Predicting the market isn't that hard; the hard part is holding back. --- I'm making this mistake now. Staring at the screen every day, my fingers just can't stay idle. I'm really getting carried away. --- Nurturing the mind is indeed more valuable than any technical indicator, but I just can't execute it. --- The word "clarity" is used perfectly. In the market, those who are impatient are eliminated, leaving those who can stay calm.

Hey, you're so right. I'm the kind of person who watches the charts until my eyes hurt.

It sounds good, but how many people can truly enforce the three bottom lines? Most people set rules just for psychological comfort; when the market moves, it's the same old tricks. No matter how perfect the mechanism design is, the execution always fails—this is the reality of the game.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who stares at the screen until my eyes hurt. My hands tremble when buying and shake even more when selling. I made five bucks but then lost it all.
