#数字资产动态追踪 The five biggest pitfalls in crypto trading—avoid one and it's hard to turn things around



**First: The Illusion of Always Being Fully Invested**

Being in a full position all year round, claiming "maximizing capital utilization," but secretly having no real options left. When a real opportunity appears, your account is cleaner than your face, and you can only applaud others bottom-fishing. Being fully invested either means you have strong execution or have cut off all your exit routes.

**Second: Neurotic Frequent Trading**

Fearing a pullback after a rise, fearing further decline after a drop. Not trading for three days means cutting losses; after selling, the price immediately surges, and newly bought stocks are instantly trapped. Many misunderstand short-term trading—it's not about blindly chasing gains or panic selling, but about precisely trading small cycles within the big trend. Otherwise, your account becomes a liquidity source for the big players.

**Third: Restless Hands**

Must buy immediately after selling; even a second of being out of the market feels uncomfortable. Ignoring chart patterns and emotions, just creating a sense of "being present." The only purpose of such an account is to continuously generate market liquidity.

**Fourth: Taking Small Profits and Running, Holding Long-Term Losses**

Getting nervous at a 3% gain, but gritting your teeth and holding through a 20% decline. This contrast is deadly—no matter how high your win rate, a single major drawdown can wipe you out. Success in trading isn't about who runs fastest but about who can endure, make the right moves, and afford to lose.

**Fifth: Obsession with Buying More During Dips**

Treating declines as "golden pits," becoming more confident the more they buy. But the big players have already left; you're still adding chips based on faith. There are no forever bottoms—only endless handovers. Every buy after a breakdown is a gamble on probabilities.

**Final Words:**

The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are those who can survive to the next round. Even dropping one of these five bad habits is more effective than studying a hundred technical indicators. Whether prices go up or down, the first step is to straighten out your trading logic.

All-in is suicide; rough words but true.

The full-position strategy is really self-deception. I was also caught off guard before. Now seeing others still playing this game, I just want to laugh. Frequent trading hits a sore spot; itchy hands can really ruin everything. Buying more as it drops is a vicious cycle. I've seen too many people go bankrupt because of this belief. Instead of studying technical indicators, it's better to learn how to stay out of the market first—that's true execution. It's really a matter of psychological discipline; most people fail because of greed.

The full-position traders are the funniest; the real opportunity comes but they can't see it. What do you say?

Full position traders really should look in the mirror; when the opportunity comes, they have no bullets left. --- Cutting losses to the point of bankruptcy—that's what most people I see are doing. --- Feeling uncomfortable even with an empty position? Then just wait to be forced out. --- Making small profits and running, taking big losses and holding on—you're just speeding up your own death march. --- Buying the dip until bankruptcy—how many more will continue to gamble on this? --- If your logic doesn't add up, you'll be out sooner or later; no matter how many technical indicators you have, it's all useless. --- People who still want to go full position after reading this article are truly brave. --- The self-cultivation of the bag-holder is to buy more as the price drops. --- The five types of people who won't make it to the next round in the crypto world are basically these. --- The main players have left, and you're still buying—who's really losing?

Full position is just courting death; I've quit long ago... But to be honest, the real difficulty is the anxiety when you're out of the market.
