3 Anti-Human Nature Tactics to Avoid 90% Losses? In the crypto world, a 20% daily fluctuation has become the norm. Why do 80% of traders struggle to escape the "buy high, sell low - hold until liquidation" cycle?
Core reason: Human weaknesses are infinitely amplified in leveraged markets.
1. Establishing a position is like "seclusion": Cut off noise interference.
Essential issue:
Bullish/bearish sentiments after buying stimulate greed/fear, turning rational plans into emotional gambling.
"During the 2018 ETH crash, panic selling due to Twitter led to missing a 150% rebound. Now, after placing an order, I uninstall the trading app and only review twice a day."
Key execution points:
Turn off all news notifications.
Use sticky notes to record position logic.
Set fixed periods for concentrated review.
Quantitative leader Alex's golden quote: "When you care about others' opinions, you have already lost to the market."
2. Stop-loss is a "life-saving talisman": Use technical analysis to set your life or death line.
Data alert: The loss percentage without a stop-loss is preset at 3.2 times.
"Set a stop-loss within 3 seconds of establishing a position, using previous lows/Fibonacci levels to define the position, and refuse subjective speculation. During the 2024 BTC flash crash, my 24,800 stop-loss saved my account while 80% of hold traders were liquidated."
Former BitMEX analyst Kaleo: "Technical experts often die from lack of stop-loss, while ordinary people survive to the bull market through discipline."
3. Misjudgment equals "zeroing out": Refuse to cover mistakes by increasing positions.
Deadly trap: "Buying more as the price drops" is essentially using luck to fight the market; most die halfway up the hill.
"In 2023, I added to my position after SOL broke my stop-loss, resulting in a series of crashes. Now, the system mandates: Misjudgment must be liquidated + 24-hour cooling-off period. Last year, during the BTC crash, I strictly adhered to discipline and avoided a second collapse."
Reversal strategy:
One-click liquidation within 10 seconds (set F12 shortcut key).
Record a list of mistakes (e.g., "2024.3 ETH added position lost 30%").
Prohibit opening new positions on the day of a misjudgment.
Former Binance advisor Wilson: "Adding positions is a risk amplifier; experts do only two things when misjudging: close positions and wait for the next opportunity."
Ultimate mindset: Use discipline to counter human nature.
Mechanical execution: Just like Jump Trading, stop-loss levels cannot be manually modified.
Error tolerance reserve: Always keep 30% of funds, withstand 3 consecutive stop-losses.
Crocodile principle: Decisively amputate to save your life, rather than struggle with the market.
The truth of the crypto world: Profit isn't about catching the top, but about "high probability survival" after avoiding fatal mistakes.
When discipline becomes muscle memory, you will find: Experts are merely those who have perfected "not doing stupid things."
