After so many years of trading, I’ve discovered a curse—many people's accounts are getting smaller and smaller, not because they can't understand the market, but because they keep fighting the market with the wrong approach.

I've seen too many cases like this. A friend changed one thing, and the situation was different.

Don’t act recklessly; follow a fixed logic.

If the market is unclear, stay on the sidelines. Enter only when signals are confirmed. Take profits by reducing positions, and exit if the judgment is wrong. Don’t rely on feelings, only on execution.

Honestly, the results are quite painful—losses start to stop, and the account gradually begins to recover.

The crypto world is never short of market opportunities; what’s lacking is a sustainable way to survive. For those who have been losing long-term, instead of blindly exploring on their own, it’s better to first establish solid trading discipline. Once the path is correct, everything else is just a matter of time.

You're so right, discipline is really the hardest part. Doing simple things repeatedly is how you make money. I also realized this after getting beaten up before.

That's right, it's a discipline issue. Too many people die because of emotions. Execution really makes a difference; knowing and doing are worlds apart. I'm also testing this approach, and it's definitely much better than reckless operations.

That's right, this is a matter of capital efficiency. Not enforcing discipline is equivalent to implicitly wasting transaction fees.

To be honest, this is the reason I keep losing money. I always try to buy the dip and sell at the top, but the market teaches me a harsh lesson every time. Discipline sounds simple, but why is it so hard to actually follow through? I'm currently learning this approach, hoping to survive until the next bull market.

You're absolutely right, it's just a lack of execution. --- Really, many people know about discipline, but very few actually practice it. --- Holding a zero position is also a form of trading. Once you understand this, you've already won. --- It's that old saying again, it's not that I can't read the market, but I can't control my hands. --- My friend also changed this point; he's been steady since last year, and now he's too lazy to trade frequently. --- The most heartbreaking thing is knowing you should do this, but being unable to do it... --- In the crypto world, honestly, living is way more important than making money. --- "Execution" sounds simple, but sticking to it for a year is not easy. --- Here's a question: when the market is unclear, can you really hold a zero position? I can't do it anyway. --- This logic makes sense; it all depends on who can endure until that moment.
