#数字资产动态追踪 Why do some accounts grow while others shrink when doing the same contracts? Ultimately, it all comes down to these two words: discipline vs desire.
**How prudent traders think**
They ask themselves three questions before placing an order: What is the entry logic, where is the loss cutoff, and how much profit is enough to take—none can be missed.
They remain unmoved by the rapid surge of a "flying needle," and they don't gamble on possible V-shaped reversals. They only trade signals they understand, preferring to miss opportunities rather than trade recklessly.
Taking profit isn't about fear of running too fast, but about truly pocketing the gains; stop-loss isn't about admitting defeat, but about leaving themselves the capital to fight again. No matter how temperamental, their fingers follow the rules—this is the look of a professional trader.
**How impatient traders act**
When a large bullish candle appears, their mind starts playing a horror movie of "Did I miss the entire trend?" and they rush in with full position.
What was originally just a few points of floating loss turns into stubborn resistance because they can't bear to cut, and the floating loss becomes a deep trap. Trading turns into prayer. "This time it will definitely rise."

You're absolutely right. The guy around me is a typical desire monster. He goes all-in with a limit-up, and now his account has shrunk to a negative balance. He's complaining to me every day.

That hit home. I'm the one who can't help but get excited when I see a surge. Now my account has become a monument.

That's true, but very few people can actually do it. I am the kind of person who panics and loses their way when I see a surge. Only after losing money do I understand.

Well said. Discipline is really a lesson learned by throwing money at it. I'm the fool who has been hit by it several times.

You're absolutely right. I'm the fool who FOMOed in when I saw the surge. Now my account is already in ICU.

That's so true. I'm that fool who gets overly excited after just one bullish candle. Now my account is so green it's almost black.

That hits too close to home. I'm the one who gets excited and makes impulsive decisions after seeing a big bullish candle.

Basically, it's about mindset. I've seen too many people whose accounts are wiped out but still keep saying "It will rebound soon."

Exactly right, but the discipline part is really tough. I myself get itchy whenever I see a surge, and I always tell myself this time I will definitely restrain, but I still can't resist the test of desire.
