Don't remind me again today

I've seen too many people fall into the same pit.



I met a friend who, when he first entered the space, saw opportunities everywhere and thought every coin could rise. What happened? His account was cut in half, a 50% drawdown left him dumbfounded. It was at this point he realized a harsh truth – you have to double your money to get back to where you started. Want to make money? First, learn to avoid losing big.
After being in the circle for a long time, you will find that truly capable people are never anxious about missing out on anything. Why? Because they know what they want and won't rush in just because they see something rising. It's not difficult to make some money with small trades; the challenge is to hold onto it. When the market corrects, some people's accounts reveal their true state. Experts understand the importance of subtraction—opportunities that do not fall within your realm of understanding should be passed on, and you should focus on solidifying what you can grasp.

To be honest, what most people fear the most is missing out. Afraid of missing out, they chase high prices; once they are stuck, they hurry to get out; after getting out, they chase again, and it just repeats itself. Essentially, this is a struggle against one's own desires. After years of stumbling and rolling, I've summed it up in three words: control your desires. If you can control your hands, only then can the money stay.

Here's another practical tactic: strong varieties showing signs of fatigue? Act decisively to buy; weak varieties suddenly surging? Firmly exit; wait for the reversal confirmation before adding positions. This logic is actually quite simple—market turning points are often hidden in the unusual.

In the end, let's be honest: stop always thinking about making quick money, learn to pick up money instead. Directly give up those ambiguous opportunities and focus on signals with clear winning probabilities. Once you truly protect your principal and capture certainty, wealth will naturally come. When your account stabilizes, you will stabilize as well.

Damn, I'm seeing this trap again, a 50% pullback really isn't much, I've seen it go straight to zero.

You really hit the nail on the head; I can relate to that 50% retracement example too well. Last year, I watched helplessly as my principal just disappeared.

Alright, I really like this straightforward suggestion. I've seen too many people lose money with that trap, really, there are a bunch of people around me who have ruined themselves this way.

Indeed, missing out and chasing the price is a vicious cycle. I've seen too many people ruin themselves this way. The key is to control your desires and not want to copy everything you see.
