#ETH巨鲸增持 Why is it that when doing contracts, some people's account curves steadily go up, while others get liquidated every few days and have to start over?
The gap lies not in technical indicators, but in two words - discipline and greed.
[Type One: Rule-based Players]
Before placing an order, I've already replayed the movie three times in my head: Where is the entry point, how much is the stop loss set, and what are the profit targets in points.
They never chase after a K-line that has already increased by 20%, nor will they try to catch the bottom and guess the reversal during a crash. No signal has appeared? Then just wait. Even if they miss a wave of market movement, they won't act recklessly.
Taking profits is not due to being timid, but to ensure that every profit can be secured; cutting losses is not admitting defeat, but leaving ammunition for the next trade.
Emotions may fluctuate, but the hands remain steady—this is the dividing line between professional players and retail investors.
[Type 2: Sensation-based Gamblers]
Seeing a big bullish candle, I go all in to go long, fearing that if I wait a second longer, I will miss the wealth train.
Originally set a stop loss at 5%, but ended up with a floating loss of 10% and still holding on, silently thinking "As long as I break even, I'll run." It turned from trading into praying, from strategy into gambling.

You're right, but how many people can really be disciplined? I'm the kind of person who can't help but want to act when I see the Candlestick chart, haha.

To put it simply, it's a mindset issue. The rule-based PI steadily earns, while the feeling-based PI repeatedly blows up. I still think that most people simply can't be disciplined.

It's too heartbreaking to say, I'm just that kind of "feeling PI", every time I want to buy the dip but end up losing each time...

You’re not wrong, it’s really heart-wrenching... I have a bunch of people around me who are all PI, and every time it’s "I think this Candlestick is going to Rebound", and the result is just a direct opening of the box.

You are absolutely right, self-discipline is truly the dividing line, but it's easier said than done.

It's true, in the end, it's just about lacking discipline. I used to feel like a PI, but the market beat me down to bankruptcy. Now I stick to stop loss, although I've earned a little less, I've definitely been living more comfortably.
