I want to ask everyone a question—do you really have a plan for each of your trades?

Look at those around you who frequently regret: they impulsively buy when they shouldn’t, and when the price surges, they regret not buying more, leading to losing control and adding to their position. Conversely, when they buy and the market cools off, they quickly cut their losses, and within a couple of days after selling, they start to regret again. Even more heartbreaking, the coins they sold rise in value, and they chase the high... This vicious cycle never ends.

To be honest, all of this stems from the same problem: lack of principles and greed taking over. Operations without principles cause people to be led by market emotions, turning them into marionettes of price fluctuations.

On the other hand, those who trade with ease rely on what? It’s simple—adhering to principles and letting go of greed. Establish your own trading discipline, set clear buy and sell signals, and follow through without being swayed by price movements. Don’t get overly emotional about gains or losses; stay calm regardless of rise or fall. When it’s time to act, act; when it’s time to wait, wait. Everything becomes natural.

Control has always been in your hands; the key is whether you have the resolve to take it back.

Honestly, I am that fool who sold and then regretted it two days later. I've quit now, and living with discipline feels a lot better.

Oh my god, is this talking about me? The feeling of hitting the daily limit the day after cutting losses, I really want to smash the screen.

Another day taught by the market, very true. I used to repeatedly cut losses and chase highs, but now I think I’ve finally had an epiphany. --- Sticking to principles sounds easy, but when it comes to adding positions or cutting losses, the mindset still tends to collapse. --- The process of rebirth is like this: first experience a round of face-slapping, then you can truly understand what discipline means. --- Opportunities always favor those who are patient. I am currently honing my mindset in the bottom zone. --- Impulsively going all in and then regretting madly—I understand this cycle too well. I need to quit! --- A bear market shapes the mindset. I think this is the most piercing statement. --- The key is execution. No matter how good the plan is, no one can stick to it—that’s my weakness. --- Once you see clearly, it’s greed, the devil at work. Every time, I say this time it’s safe, but I end up getting cut again.

Damn, it's the same old story, sounds good but how many can really do it... --- Cut losses and chase highs, I know this devil's cycle too well, now I've changed --- Honestly, it's just lack of brains. People with plans would have already achieved stable profits --- Principles are easy to talk about, but once the market moves, everyone forgets them haha --- That's why I only watch now and don't trade, anyway I can't make money --- Stick to principles? The likely percentage is 0.1%, I'm that 99.9% --- Every time I tell myself to be disciplined, I still get carried away --- Indeed, no plan is just gambling, can't blame the coin, blame myself --- What I wrote is correct but useless, human nature is greed, can't change it --- My plan is to wait for a crash to buy the dip, haha, lost count of how many times

Selling causes prices to rise, keep chasing high, can you not have a mental breakdown? --- That's right, but I just can't control that greed... --- Talking about it on paper is easy, but when the market actually comes, things still get chaotic... --- Sticking to principles sounds simple, but in execution, one word — difficult. --- I just want to know how not to regret, is there a secret? --- Watching others make money every day, very few can stay calm. --- Principles and such have long been shattered by greed, I don't want to deceive myself. --- Planning? Planning can't keep up with market changes either. --- That's why a bunch of people keep cutting losses until they doubt their lives... --- Unless there's strict discipline, otherwise it's all self-deception.

Damn, it's the same old story. I just want to know who can really stay unaffected by the ups and downs.
