Once you stop picking coins based on personal conviction—thinking 'this should definitely be worth more, the market's just sleeping on it'—and instead start making decisions on actual signals, that's when you know you've leveled up in this game. The shift from emotional bias to objective analysis is what separates hobbyists from real traders.

That's an overly absolute statement. However, it's true that emotional trading can be deadly, but the real question is how to balance conviction and data.

That's quite right, but I think... real signals can also be manipulated, and it's still about relying on years of intuition.

How many people have been killed by emotional trading? I’ve understood this principle a long time ago, but executing it is just too difficult...

Well said. I used to be that kind of fool who thought "this coin will definitely take off," and I went all-in twice only to get wiped out before I understood. Now I rely entirely on signals and candlestick charts; otherwise, even free gains can turn into losses.

That's right, too many people are trapped by their own obsessions... they insist on waiting for that coin to rise before admitting defeat, only to keep cutting losses at the floor price repeatedly. Signals and instincts are really worlds apart.

That's right, I used to be one of those believers who thought, "This coin will definitely explode," but I ended up losing everything. Now I've learned to be smarter.

That's right, but how many people can really do it... I still see a bunch of people shouting every day that their crappy coin is a "treasure project."

Honestly, hearing this is a bit of a punch to the gut. I used to be the type of fool who thought, "This coin will definitely rise"... Now I realize that signals are much more reliable than intuition, really.
