#2026年比特币行情展望 The painful lessons from trading in the crypto world, recorded to serve as a warning for myself and everyone else.
**Mistake 1: Going against the trend with short positions**
This is the most common mistake. Bitcoin was clearly in an upward channel, yet I stubbornly kept shorting, resulting in a complete loss. Only later did I realize that the overall direction was wrong; no matter how precise the short-term trades are, they can't save you. You should follow the trend, not fight against the market.
**Mistake 2: Frequent trading leading to frequent losses**
To make a small profit, I kept opening and closing positions repeatedly, unable to stop. The final result was small gains wiped out by a big loss. Reducing trading frequency is really key; sometimes doing nothing is the best move.
**Mistake 3: Having a plan but lacking execution**
Stop-loss and take-profit orders were all just talk. I would set them but ignore them, only thinking of closing positions at the highest or lowest points after the fact. Trading discipline must be ingrained in your mind; otherwise, you're digging your own grave.
**Mistake 4: Impatience and greed ruining the rhythm**
After getting caught, I was eager to recover losses, and when my mindset was unstable, I started chasing rallies and selling dips. Buying at the high and shorting at the low—this is how I used real money to teach the market how to harvest me. The rule later became simple: if there’s no clear entry signal, resist the urge to trade. Use 1-minute, 3-minute, 15-minute charts—if the trend is clear, take one direction. During sideways consolidation, just stay out.
Control your hands, steady your mind. Wait for signals, don’t guess blindly. Hope everyone can break through their barriers early. $ETH
