#数字货币市场洞察 How does one go from losing money to making money in the crypto market? Simply put, it’s a process of being schooled by the market five times.



Stage One: Blind Luck

When you first enter, you just follow whoever is calling the shots. In a bull market, your account really does multiply a few times, and you start to believe you have a talent for this.

Later, you realize: Luck comes fast, but disappears even faster.

Stage Two: You Understand, But Can’t Execute

After losing enough, you start studying candlestick charts, analyzing trends, and watching market sentiment. You get the theory, but your hands just won’t follow your head.

Chasing highs, panic selling, unable to hold positions, feeling pain at every stop-loss—all these bad habits remain.

Stage Three: Finally Finding Your Own Rhythm

You really settle down once you have a trading system: when to enter, when to stay out, how to set stop-loss lines.

No more chasing hot news or betting on so-called insider info. You shift from gambling on luck to calculating probabilities, and your mindset finally steadies.

Stage Four: The Game Changes

You’re less impulsive with short-term trades and start positioning early for big trends. You plan your position sizing and trading rhythm in advance.

You get involved in the primary market, staking nodes, lock-up strategies... these approaches are on a whole different level compared to retail thinking.

Stage Five: It’s Not Just About Trading Coins Anymore

At this stage, you’re no longer obsessed with price swings—instead, you truly participate in building the industry: investing in early-stage projects, contributing to the ecosystem, building infrastructure.

It’s not about picking up money—it’s about creating it.

After so many years, I’ve seen countless people come and go. Those who transform from “newbies” into real players all rely on continuous upgrades in their understanding.

The pitfalls I’ve encountered and the lessons I’ve summarized over the years—I hope they help you avoid detours and get into a steady profit rhythm sooner.

To be honest, I was stuck between the second and third stages for almost two years. My fingers just wouldn’t follow my brain’s commands. Every time I had a plan, I’d forget everything as soon as the market moved. I set stop losses but never followed them, only remembering to stay calm after losing so much I started questioning life. Now I finally understand a little: trading without a system is just gambling—it’s only a matter of time. Wait, let me ask everyone—are there any people here who’ve reached the fourth stage? How do you truly break free from retail trader thinking? Man, after hearing about the five stages, I feel like I’m still bouncing back and forth between the second and third. Maybe that’s why my wallet never grows. Honestly, I know I’m headed in the right direction, but every time the market fluctuates, my mindset collapses. This is something that’ll take time to fix.

I'm still stuck in that second phase... It really hurts to cut losses, it's just unreal.
