#加密生态动态追踪 Don't be hijacked by greed; the crypto world isn't as complicated as it seems.



Most people fail not because they don't understand stop-loss—it's because they can't get over that mental hurdle. When they incur losses, they stubbornly hold on; when the price drops further, they hope for a rebound. They talk about discipline but can't stop clicking, always wanting to place another bet. Seeing their unrealized losses deepen, they comfort themselves with "wait a bit longer, I'll get back to break-even." That's not persistence—that's greed choking your throat.

I've also stayed up all night monitoring charts, chasing highs and selling lows, only to end up exhausted and losing money. Later, I found the simplest yet most effective method—only trade signals I fully understand; ignore all tempting signals. Better to miss opportunities than to operate blindly.

These lessons are bought with real money:

**Timing is crucial**
During the day, news flies everywhere, and the market swings wildly like a lunatic—chaotic and hard to follow. After 9 PM, market sentiment gradually calms, and the trend becomes clearer. It’s much easier to read.

**Use indicators, not intuition**
Intuition is the biggest liar. Before acting, look at at least three things: Is MACD showing a golden or death cross? Is RSI indicating overbought or oversold? Is the Bollinger Band tightening or expanding? When two or more signals align, consider entering.

**Stop-loss must stay alive**
When you can hold the position, raise your stop-loss with each upward wave to lock in profits. When you can’t monitor the market constantly, set a hard stop-loss at about 3%, and stick to it—no hesitation.

**Two tricks with candlestick charts**
Short-term trading: wait for two consecutive candles in the same direction on the 1-hour chart before confirming the trend. When no clear direction emerges: switch to the 4-hour chart, identify support and resistance levels, and act when near critical points.

**Avoid these pitfalls**
Memecoin like Dogecoin and Shitcoin are emotional coins—they can skyrocket wildly or crash through the floor. You might think you're riding a trend, but in reality, you're just providing chips for whales or big players.

Honestly: in crypto, giving up unrealistic fantasies is harder than admitting failure. Greed might cost you a month’s worth of effort to recover from one loss; properly setting stop-loss can protect your gains for the entire month. True winners aren’t those who make the most money—they are those who lose the least and live the longest.

It's the same story again. You're right, but the problem is... when the market moves, who can resist placing an order?

No doubt about it, but executing it is really tough. I'm that kind of person who yells about discipline but can't stop my hands, and after losing quite a few times, I finally truly understand this principle.

Sounds good, but I already knew this stuff a long time ago. The real question is, can it actually be implemented? I'm the kind of person who can see everything clearly at 9 PM at night, but when the market opens during the day, everything is chaotic again.

That hits too close to home. I used to be the type of person who thought, "Just wait a bit longer, I'll break even," but I ended up losing a month's salary... Now I only make moves when I see the MACD golden cross. Although I missed out on a lot, at least I'm still alive.

Hi, that's such a harsh truth. I lost money like that before and even deceived myself into thinking it'll be better next time.

Oh no, it's the same old story... but it really hits home, especially that line "Greed once costs a month to recover," I am a living example of that.

Honestly, when it comes to stop-loss, there are only two words—mental demon. After so many years in the crypto world, nine out of ten people die because of greed.

That's a great point, but it's just that inner demon that can't be overcome. I used to stubbornly hold on like that before, and only after losing everything did I learn to cut losses.
