#战略性加仓BTC Entering crypto trading, the biggest enemy is often your own greed.

How do novice traders usually get wiped out? It all comes down to three habits—constantly tracking market trends, being swayed by market sentiment, and copying various technical indicators. In the end, only after losing everything and doubting life do they realize: what defeats you isn’t the market, but your restless heart.

After adjusting my strategy, what I do is very simple—completely abandon market prediction and instead design a trading system.

Before entering each trade, I’ve already thought of three exit strategies. How to stop loss if the market moves against me? How to take profit in stages? At what price point must I withdraw my funds from the exchange? If I haven’t figured out these three, I won’t press the confirm button.

The most crucial rule is: whenever the account profit exceeds the principal, it must be forcibly withdrawn. Those floating gains sitting in the account will eventually be eaten up by the market. The truly yours are only the profits that have already left the trading market—those sitting in your wallet, detached from price fluctuations.

What is the truth about the crypto market? Most of the time, it’s just range-bound oscillation; there’s no such thing as a “certain direction.” Because of this, I never bet on a single position, but use multiple strategies and diversify entries across different levels.

Even if my judgment is completely wrong, the risk remains within controllable limits; once the market moves, the profit multiples will naturally amplify.

I can’t predict $BTC ’s trend, but my account has lasted long enough—that’s my moat. Stop loss isn’t failure; it’s a ticket to the next game. As long as I don’t get wiped out in one go, the probability of the big market cycle reaching me is high.

What does it all come down to in trading? It’s not about whose analysis is more accurate, but about who can still stand. The market’s biggest fear isn’t your mistakes, but that once you slip, you can never get back up.

Well said. The biggest fear is that pile of unrealized gains in the account. Always thinking of waiting a bit longer, but in the end, a sudden plunge wipes it all out. --- Really, stop-loss is just a matter of psychological discipline. Most people simply can't do it. --- I'm also using the strategy of diversifying positions. If you're unsure, don't bet on a single point. Living longer is more important than anything. --- For those tracking the market, it's too exhausting. Sometimes it's better to just sleep peacefully. --- The most ruthless rule is forced withdrawal. Only when you transfer it out manually does it count as truly earned; otherwise, it's just an illusion on the books. --- The moat is simply staying alive. That phrase really hits home. --- Using multiple logical strategies to diversify entries is truly the best way to avoid pitfalls. No matter how far off the mark the mistakes are, you can recover.

Damn, that really hits home. Honestly, I've seen too many people tortured to death by their own greed... --- Anyway, I only have one belief right now: unrealized gains are worthless, and it's better to cash out early to sleep peacefully. --- That's a valid point, but most people still can't change their habit of constantly watching the market, including myself... --- The worst thing is the mentality of going all-in with a single bet; one wrong judgment and everything is gone. --- Yes, risk controllability is more important than anything else, I deeply understand this. --- I just want to know how many people can truly enforce withdrawals; I guess less than one in ten.

That's right, greed can really ruin a person. I've seen too many people whose accounts doubled but they were still reluctant to withdraw, only to end up losing everything and even incurring losses. Unrealized gains don't count, and while this sounds simple, very few can actually do it.

That's a good point, but I heard this logic back in 2021... So what happened to that group of people later? The forced withdrawal part does have some merit, but it depends on the execution. Most people talk nicely, but when the market surges, they can't hold on. The period of range-bound oscillation is interesting; the distribution of chips indeed shows a lack of a clear direction right now. But the question is—can you really resist watching the market?

That's right, an impatient heart is indeed the most deadly. I was originally that kind of fool who watched the market every day, and only later did I realize that unrealized gains are not real money. Withdrawing is the real profit, I truly understand this. Really, most of the time it's just oscillating back and forth, and those who insist on betting on the direction end up losing everything. The moment of stop-loss is painful, but it's really like playing Mahjong and rejoining the table—much better than losing everything in one go. As long as the account is still alive, there is still a chance for rebirth, and that is the biggest win.

There's nothing wrong with that; it's just that most people lose money on the phrases "I'll wait a bit longer" and "Let me play one more round." Truly, exiting the market is the profit, and I deeply understand that unrealized gains are just illusions.
