#比特币与黄金战争 In trading, no one wins every single time—that's the truth. The problem isn't that you misread the market a few times; it's that one wrong call can lead to a position so heavy you can't bear it. A mental breakdown often starts from this point.



At the moment of placing an order, people are most rational; once in the trade, fear and greed begin to take over the brain. You automatically block signals that are unfavorable to you, treat small fluctuations as big opportunities, and the impulsive decisions made during trading are mostly driven by emotion.

Rather than repeatedly regretting, it's better to ask yourself four questions before taking action:

1. Why am I entering the trade? What is the signal? (Don't tell me it's intuition)
2. Where do I cut losses? (Identify support or resistance levels)
3. Where do I take profits? (Specify your profit target)
4. What is the worst-case scenario? (Will this position keep you awake at night)

Think through all four questions carefully; missing any one of them invalidates the plan.

Regarding take-profit, many people's problem is greed. They always want to eat the last piece of meat, but when the market reverses, the previous profits vanish instantly, and they might even incur losses—such a sense of loss is doubled. Truly successful traders never aim to "make the most money," but rather "make money that meets expectations."

Here's a safe approach: take profits in stages, and keep some core position to follow the trend. Once the target level set before entering the trade is reached, you must execute. Excess profits are a gift of luck and shouldn't break your trading discipline.

The essence of trading is a contest between planning and execution, not prediction accuracy. Those who can survive steadily are not necessarily smarter, but they can control themselves. The market favors such people—$BTC $SOL $ETH for this kind of asset, opportunities are always there, waiting for disciplined operators.

That's right, I've seen too many people lose everything in a single trade and their mentality just collapses. ---- Really, the moment you change your order during trading, your mind goes blank, and you regret it afterward. ---- I always get confused with four questions and start pressing keys; I need to change this habit. ---- Take profit is the most painful part. I always think I can make another wave, but in the end, I get wiped out and feel like dying. ---- Very few traders can survive steadily; most are bouncing back and forth between greed and fear. ---- Taking profits in stages is indeed more stable, but sticking to it is so difficult. ---- Controlling yourself is much harder than predicting accurately, this really hits home.

That's a great point. What I fear most is the mindset of "wait a bit longer to earn more," which often results in missing out on a complete turnaround.

Here we go again with this set. It sounds good, but I still can't resist every time... When $BTC starts to rise, my brain just stops working. --- I've heard about taking profits in stages a hundred times. But when it hits the target, I still want to take another bite, only to get slapped in the face when I reverse my position. --- The worst thing isn't losing money; it's losing everything and then crying because of my own stupidity. --- Want to think through all four questions before placing an order? I usually have already built a position after thinking through the first two haha. --- Greed really hits hard. Every time I say this time I will definitely take profits, but then I change my mind... The market knows human nature best. --- All on-chain data matches up, and I still want to earn an extra 50% profit. In the end, I didn't take the last bit and ended up losing... That's me. --- Discipline? My discipline is "wait and see," but the more I wait, the more I lose. --- Honestly, this set of theories isn't flawed, but when it comes to execution, human nature is the biggest enemy.

Here comes another lesson on how to make money. Why am I still losing everything completely? I watched the whole set on stop-loss and take-profit, but I still go all-in afterward. Truly incredible. Partial take-profit? Bro, I’m just taking partial losses. LOL. I’ve thought through all four questions clearly, but I still change my mind after looking at the K-line. I’m so disciplined. What you said is right, but I just can't execute it. That’s the real hell.

That's so true, I'm the fool who always wants to eat the last bite of meat. These four questions have indeed saved me several times, especially the fourth one. As soon as I think, "Will this position keep me awake at night," I immediately become alert. Gradual profit-taking is really a secret weapon, much more reliable than sticking to a single target level.

Good grief, you're at it again... You're not wrong, but when it comes to actually trading, the hands still tremble just the same. Telling myself to control it has been said for three years, but every time I get in, I forget.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who is so greedy that I can't sleep, but luckily I cut my losses in time.
