#比特币对比代币化黄金 Have you ever calculated what you really lose to in trading?



It's not about getting the market wrong, but two old habits: being too hasty and too greedy.

As soon as you see a coin start to move, you rush in, feeling like you understand the market better than anyone that day. And the next day? You give up and accept the loss. When it goes up a bit, you can't bear to sell, thinking you'll finally turn things around. Then a big red candle comes, and your mindset collapses.

$ZEC $IRYS $RED I've fallen into all these traps.

I used to get burned by entering early and doubted if I could even survive in this game. But after losing enough, I finally understood—if you want to survive, you have to first learn when NOT to make a move.

The following 10 rules are lessons I bought with real money. They’re not lofty theories, just life-saving principles.

**1. Only look at strong coins after they've dropped for 9 days**
Don’t rush to catch the bottom. Entering just one day early can cost you several rounds of losses.

**2. After two days of gains? Sell half first, talk later**
Only the money in your pocket is really yours. Numbers on the screen can change in an instant.

**3. If a coin rises more than 7% in a day, don’t chase it the next day**
True strength isn’t built on explosive pumps.

**4. Observe a sideways market for 3 days; if it drags on to 6 days, just leave**
More accounts die from sideways markets than from crashes.

**5. Cut losses quickly, that’s how your account survives**
Didn’t recover losses the next day? Get out. Clinging on is the most expensive emotional cost for retail traders.

**6. Remember the “3-5-1-7” rhythm**
2 days up, 3 days accumulation, 5 days cash out. Only those with rhythm catch big trends.

**7. The secret lies in volume-price relationship**
Breakout with high volume at low levels = buy signal; high volume without price increase at the top = time to sell.

**8. Only trade trends, go with the flow**
No matter how tempting counter-trend opportunities look, avoid them—they’re traps, not opportunities.

**9. Small funds relying on luck? That’s suicidal**
Survival comes from rules, patience, and execution.

**10. Take simple rules to the extreme**
That’s your survival logic. Few can persist, so even fewer can profit.

People who make a living from trading aren’t gifted—they’re ruthless: ruthless with the rules, and even more ruthless with themselves.

Don’t be greedy over a little, don’t panic in the moment, don’t blindly follow the crowd. Put every bit of profit in your pocket; when your trades are stable, your life will naturally become stable too.

Ouch, that stings a bit, especially the part about "hands too fast, heart too greedy."

Being too quick and too greedy are really the two biggest killers for retail investors. I’ve also been burned so badly by this that I started doubting myself. That really hits home, especially the part about “more people get worn out by sideways markets than get cut by crashes.” That’s exactly how my account died. Rule execution is the real deal—very few people can stick to them, and even fewer actually make money. That line really hits the sore spot. $ZEC $IRYS $RED I’ve also touched those coins; at the time I thought I was buying the bottom, but... well... I need to stick the “sell half after two consecutive up days” rule on my desk where I can see it every day. Just looking at these 10 rules, you can see why most people lose money. Simple things, but nobody can do them to the extreme. The explanation about volume and price is clear—if there’s heavy volume at the top but no price increase, you really have to bail. But unfortunately, greed always gets the better of people. Not blindly chasing the crowd is spot on, but it’s really hard to do, especially when you see others making money. I’ve learned a lot from the “cut losses quickly” rule. In the past, my biggest mistake was always refusing to let go, which cost me the most.

Being quick-handed and greedy really is an incurable problem. I'm currently struggling hard with this issue.

Finished reading at 3 a.m., I need to dig deeper into the 6th "three-five-one-seven" rhythm... For the low position breakout with volume, how do we interpret the liquidity depth data? Can this logic also be applied to abnormal price spreads on DEXs? Feels like there’s arbitrage potential...
