#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 【Unity of Knowledge and Action: How to Kill Your Trading Demon】⚔



Previously, I talked about six mental strategies that sound incredibly simple. But the problem is—why do so many people understand them yet still lose money?

The answer hits hard: your true enemy is not in the market, but in the mirror.

"Cut when it drops" — you say this aloud, but what happens at critical moments? Fear creeps in: "What if this is the bottom? If I cut now, I’ll lose big." Small losses are stubbornly turned into big ones. 🤯

"Hold when it rises" — everyone theoretically understands this, but when prices fluctuate, greed surfaces: "Better to sell now and lock in some profit." As a result, the main upward wave’s gains are eaten by others, and you only get the soup. 😖

"Small stop-loss, big profit" — this is standard strategy, but when it’s in your hands, it’s the opposite. Unconsciously, it becomes "Take small profits and run, only wake up when there’s a big loss."

I realized this deadlock not by analyzing candlestick charts, but after enduring a few emotional trades. Then I understood:

**Stick your trading rules on the side of your screen.** 📝 Not for decoration, but as a constant reminder.

Every time I place an order, I loudly recite: "Follow the trend, set a stop-loss, hold onto the main rise." Sounds silly? But this is a ritual, a magic to break impulsiveness.

**Practice repeatedly with a demo account or minimal position, 100 times.** 🧪 Not to make money, but to engrain this method into muscle memory. Make execution a conditioned reflex, so when the real moment comes, your hands won’t shake.

**Review only one indicator weekly: Did I follow my plan?** 📊 Don’t focus on profit and loss. Ask yourself: When was I defeated by emotion this week? Why? How will I improve next time?

When you no longer let each candlestick’s movement lead you around, and your operations become as precise as a program, magic happens—the account begins to grow on its own. 🚀

These six mental strategies are your battle map. The market never rewards speculators, nor does it reward the smart. Those who truly make money are the ones who are "stupid" enough to stick to discipline and "foolish" enough to have patience.

So from today, don’t think about getting rich overnight. Focus only on making the right decisions every step of the way. When each step is correct, profits will come naturally.

Stay steady, we can win. 💪$BTC $ETH

Well said, that's exactly the point. I also used to get cut on the floor😅.

Exactly right, so many people talk about discipline, but when it comes to crashing the market, they still panic and cut their losses recklessly.

That's right, I know what to do, but I just can't do it. I know it in theory, but when it comes to dumping, I still panic.

That hits close to home; the biggest opponent is the one in the mirror. I've only come to understand this through repeatedly stumbling, and my shaky hands are still being treated.

Honestly, this inner demon is the biggest enemy. I have also been cut countless times like a leek.

Basically, it's about self-discipline. What I fear most is the situation where I cut my losses and then regret it afterward.

Oh no, it's the same old story, talking as if it's real. I'm just asking, how many people can really do it? I haven't managed to do it myself anyway.

Well said, but I still think most people simply can't change; inner demons are much more difficult than technical skills.

That's right, but I just can't do it. Knowing and doing are worlds apart.

That sounds nice in theory, but how many people can actually do it? I'm the type who knows what to do but can't execute it. When I'm cutting losses, I keep thinking about the bottom. When I'm holding, I get nervous and second-guess myself. It's a cycle that keeps losing me money.
