In simple terms, the root cause of losses boils down to one sentence—poor trading habits. Frequent in and out, constantly tinkering, but lacking a solid trading method. The problem isn't about choosing the right coins; it's that the trading logic itself is chaotic.

Many people think they are "trading," but in reality, they are just gambling with their accounts. When luck is on their side, they catch the right trends and hotspots, avoiding major losses and big crashes, making their account balances look impressive;

But when luck isn't on their side, drawdowns follow, and those gains are slowly lost back. That's the core issue—it's not skill, it's just random fluctuations. More realistically, this year's market conditions haven't been bad at all.

To be fair, this year has been a period of structural small trends. The index may not soar, but the opportunities to make money have always been there. Traders with a system, rhythm, and discipline have found opportunities this year. The true determinant of success is never about which coin you choose, but whether you have your own boundaries, execution ability, and a system of your own. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are those who can hold onto them.

You're right, the system is a thousand times more important than choosing coins. --- Those who constantly switch coins should reflect; this is a suicidal trading strategy. --- Having no system makes all opportunities useless; that's the real heartbreak. --- Relying on luck to make money will eventually catch up with you; I've seen it many times. --- People with poor discipline won't profit even in a good market; that’s heartbreaking. --- High-frequency trading is really digging your own grave; a sense of boundaries is crucial. --- The difference between people with and without execution ability is so big. --- Stop blaming the market; the problem lies in your trading logic. --- System > coin selection, this formula has been proven long ago, yet some still don’t believe. --- When luck is on your side, you think you're a master; wake up, everyone. --- Holding onto opportunities is easy to say but hard to do. --- A structural market tests discipline more; those without a system are just here to give away money.

Bro, your words hit the nail on the head. High-frequency trading is just gambling; without a system, you're just giving away money. --- That's right, discipline and execution are the real dividing lines. Choosing coins is actually a minor issue. --- I'm the kind of person who used to mess around with high-frequency trading. I lost everything before realizing this truth. Now I’ve become more systematic. --- Hold onto opportunities? First, you need to learn to hold onto yourself. Impulsiveness is the devil. --- It’s very painful to hear, but the problem is most people simply can't change this bad habit. --- Having a system is useless if you lack the right mindset; everything else is pointless. --- There are opportunities this year, but most people already buried themselves at high levels. --- That’s why 99% of traders lose money. A system is the core competitive advantage. --- When luck is on your side, you might feel invincible, but as soon as there's a pullback, your true colors are revealed.

well actually™ this is just describing the difference between noise trading and signal-based execution... fundamentally, most people are just running brownian motion on their portfolio lmao. the lack of formal verification of their strategy is... non-trivial to say the least

Wake up, everyone. It's really not about choosing coins; it's just that the hands are too itchy.
