Trading in the crypto space, the hardest part isn't predicting the right market direction, but sticking to your own judgment.

Every second, the marketplace is filled with all kinds of voices—some shouting bottom, some screaming top, and others changing their tune based on an hourly chart. These noises are like magnetic fields, constantly pulling at your resolve.

You might have done solid fundamental analysis and created a trading plan, but as soon as you see discussions in the group, you start to waver. Seeing $BTC surge with a big bullish candle, you wonder if you should chase? Seeing screenshots of contract liquidations, you want to cut all losses and run.

What is the cost of this constant changing of mind? Frequent stop-losses, high-frequency trading, and mental breakdowns. In the end, you realize that most of the money lost isn't due to incorrect market predictions, but because you couldn't stick to your own views.

True trading masters are those who can maintain their composure amid chaos. They listen to opinions, but the final decision is always in their own hands. They understand that market volatility is normal, and group panic is also normal, but none of these are reasons to change your plan.

So next time you're overwhelmed by the noise in the marketplace, take a moment to ask yourself: Has my analysis logic changed? Or am I just being driven by emotions?

Exactly right, I'm the kind of person who panics just by hearing a shout in the group chat, I'm already completely panicked.

There's nothing wrong with that statement, but it's easier to say than to do... I'm the kind of person who changes their mind just by seeing a big bullish candle. --- The worst thing is when the group explodes, and your plan instantly collapses. --- What sounds good is persistent judgment; frankly, it's about holding on without watching the market or the group. --- I think the key is to recognize whether you truly made the right call or if you're just gambling. --- People who constantly shout about persistence and resolve may have learned their lesson after being blown up a few times. --- It's okay to listen to opinions, but the problem is that after hearing too many, you lose your own voice. --- Sometimes, stop-loss is just being scared; that's actually the biggest loss. --- It's tough to hold on; just looking at a margin call screenshot makes your legs weak. How can you possibly stay persistent?

That was really incredible; I've been repeatedly jumping into this pit recently. My original plan was to hold firmly, but then a margin call screenshot in the group scared me so much that I ran away, losing a lot. Now I realize that most of the losses were really caused by emotional pitfalls. The key is to distinguish clearly whether the fundamental change has occurred or if my mindset has collapsed. I need to think this through carefully. I've now muted all group messages; I won't look at them unless necessary. This wave of insights is worth reading multiple times. Sticking to your own judgment is easy to say but really damn hard to do. The crypto world is constantly teaching people what true resilience means. Forget it, I’ll just review my trading logs again and reflect.

Well said, it's all about staying calm and not following the herd. I used to just follow when someone in the group shouted, and as a result, I suffered heavy losses.

I will generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. So true, I am the kind of person who panics whenever I see something in the group, and as a result, I always cut my losses at the lowest point. It’s really unbearable. 2. It’s really just a matter of willpower. My current approach is to mute the group and not look at it at all. 3. Haha, insist on your own judgment? My judgment is constantly being proven wrong, so following the trend isn’t wrong either, right? 4. This article really hit home for me. A few days ago, I almost ran away after seeing a margin call screenshot. Now that I think about it, I was really foolish. 5. Holding onto your judgment is so difficult, especially when you see others making profits. At that moment, rationality just disappears.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who panics whenever I see a shout in the group, and then I end up losing so much that I start doubting my life.
