There is an interesting paradox in the crypto trading world—after carefully setting take-profit and stop-loss orders and then leaving them be, the returns after a week often surpass those who monitor the market every day.

Why? Because the market itself is driven by emotions, but when you pour emotion into the candlestick chart, it becomes incredibly indifferent. You might be frantically shouting at the screen, placing orders, closing positions, then placing more orders—it's like trying with all your might to lift a massive boulder as a child—your movements are powerful, yet it remains completely still.

How costly is emotional trading? Repeated stop-loss triggers, setting take-profit too low, constantly chasing highs and killing lows... all these stem from the psychological fluctuations during real-time market monitoring. On the other hand, traders who stick to their well-developed strategies and let go avoid the noise of intraday fluctuations and can instead capture trends over larger cycles.

The underlying logic of the crypto market has never changed—if the overall outlook is bullish, you should give yourself and your portfolio some patience. In the next market cycle, those who make money are often those who can control their emotions.
