#数字货币市场洞察 $PIPPIN Among those who crash in the market, nine out of ten don't lose to the market trends, but to their inability to control themselves.
When prices rise, they chase highs out of envy; when prices fall, they stubbornly hold on out of unwillingness to accept losses—in the end, they take small profits of three to five percent and run away, but suffer big losses of thirty to fifty percent while still fantasizing about breaking even. Their principal gets slowly eroded by themselves bit by bit.
$ACE Want to survive in this space? Remember these three life-saving rules:
**Rule #1: Stop-loss is your lifeline**
$LUNA2 Set your stop-loss the moment you open every position. Entering the market without a stop-loss is just giving money away to the market.
**Rule #2: No more than two trades per day**
Frequent trading only leads to emotional decisions. Truly profitable traders know: patiently waiting for high-probability opportunities is a hundred times more important than acting blindly.
**Rule #3: Keep each position under 10%**
Going all-in with heavy positions is a gambler's mentality; trading with light positions means you still have a chance to recover after making mistakes. As long as you have your principal, opportunities will always be there.
In the end, trading isn't about magical indicators, but about self-control—being able to withstand floating losses without panicking, resisting the urge to act on impulse, and sticking to rolling your account slowly with small positions.
If you can do these things, you've already outperformed 90% of people in the market.
This space never lacks stories of sudden wealth; what it lacks are people who can survive several bull and bear cycles and still stand strong.

What you said is absolutely right. Itching to trade is truly a killer. Eight or nine out of ten friends around me who have lost big are suffering from this.
Every time they want to make quick money, but the more impatient they get, the more they lose. They end up ruining themselves.

Itchy hands are really a killer in trading, that's so true.
---
I've long understood stop-loss, but I just can't break the habit of chasing highs.
---
I need to stick the "two trades a day" rule on my desk—learned that one the hard way.
---
Light positions and slow compounding is the right way, but unfortunately most people can't last that long.
---
It's easy to say "don't panic with floating losses," but it's insanely hard to do—I got burned riding that rollercoaster.
---
The three rules to outperform 90% of people sound simple, but you really have to pay for them with real money.
---
"The principal is always there if it's in your phone"—this only works if you have self-control.
---
It feels great to trade frequently, but when you lose money you realize you're just giving it away.
---
That uncontrollable hand—who hasn't been burned by it?
---
I only truly understood the "single trade within 10%" rule recently; before, going all-in cost me dearly.

Haha, it sounds nice, but I still lose everything with just one slip of the hand.
---
Entering without a stop loss? That's my daily routine.
---
Nine out of ten? Why do I feel like I'm all ten of them?
---
Single trade at 10%? That's how I operate in my dreams—when I wake up, I go all in.
---
Surpassing 90% of people... I feel like I'm the 90% being surpassed.
---
Capital in hand? Haha, my capital has long been in the market's hands.
---
Light positions and slow rolling? I only know how to go heavy and quickly hit zero.
---
Seriously, I know what "stop loss" means, I just can't execute it.
---
This article sounds like it's talking about me, but I still can't change.
---
I've never seen anyone survive several bull and bear cycles—anyway, I can't make it through.
---
Self-control? To me, that's just like an indicator—purely decorative.

That's right, self-control really is the biggest trading cost.
---
I've violated all three of these rules, now the coins in my hand are like paper.
---
It's hard to cut losses, I just want to wait a bit longer to see if I can break even.
---
Two trades a day? I have to do a dozen trades an hour just to get the right feeling.
---
Light positions and slow rolling sound easy, but when the account shrinks, it's impossible to stick to it.
---
Nine out of ten blow-ups happen just like this, I'm exactly the one who can't control my hands.
---
Going all-in is definitely a gambler's move, but what's the point of small wins and small losses?
---
Beating 90% of people? How did the remaining 10% do it?
---
As long as the principal is on the phone, the opportunity will always be there, but the principal just keeps shrinking.
---
I can't learn to stay calm during unrealized losses. As soon as it drops, my mindset collapses.

Itching hands are truly the number one killer, that's absolutely right.
---
Everyone understands stop-loss in theory, but actually executing it is awkward.
---
Nine out of ten die chasing highs, and the remaining one dies from refusing to cut losses, haha.
---
Light positions + patience sounds simple, but it's killer to actually do.
---
I'm the one who takes small profits and runs, but holds on stubbornly to big losses. It's so painful.
---
I totally agree about the frequent trading part. Two trades a day are really enough.
---
People who can consistently refrain from trading are truly rare—that's the difference.
---
Keeping each trade under 10% is something I need to tattoo on my brain.
---
After lying flat for so long, it's finally good to see some clear-headed voices, but most people still won't learn.
---
As long as your principal is there, opportunities will always be there—read this three times.
