Your 'cost line' is controlling your trading!

Have you ever experienced a scene like this?

When Losing: Cost 2000U, down to 1000U, frantically increasing positions and frequently switching coins, just to 'break even'.

When Profiting: When 2000U grows to 5000U, if it pulls back to 4000U, immediately feel anxious, even going all-in on high-risk altcoins just to 'return to the peak'.
These two mindsets are essentially the same trap—being hijacked by the 'psychological cost line', leading to irrational actions! Today, I will use painful experience + scientific strategies to help you break the spell and say goodbye to the 'high phase'!

One, Why Are You Led by the 'Cost Line'?

1. Human Weaknesses: Loss Aversion and Anchoring Effect

Loss Aversion: Psychology proves that the pain of losing is twice as much as the joy of winning. When losing 1000U, you desperately try to fill the 'psychological void', but neglect the objective market rules.

Anchoring Effect: You always treat a certain price (like 2000U or 5000U) as a 'reference point' while ignoring the current market trend. This 'obsession' will lead you to act against the trend, sinking deeper.

2. The Crypto Environment's Influence

The Temptation of Wild Swings: Meme coins and altcoins can easily multiply by hundreds, tempting you to 'gamble for a turnaround'.

FOMO Emotion Spreading: Communities and KOLs promote 'wealth freedom cases', making you mistakenly believe that 'if others can, I can too'.

Two, Breaking the Dilemma Strategy: From 'Psychological Game' to 'Rational Trading'

1. Reset Your 'Cost Line'

Forget the entry price, only look at the current trend: Use technical indicators (like MA, RSI) to assess support/resistance levels, rather than being fixated on 'breaking even' or 'protecting capital'.

Case Study: Bitcoin dropped from 60,000 to 30,000; some held on, while others stopped loss and switched to the ETH ecosystem, with the latter seizing a 50% rebound opportunity.

2. Forced Rules: Profit Taking and Stop Loss + Position Management

Stop-Loss Line: Single trade losses should not exceed 5% of total capital; exit if it falls below.

Dynamic Profit Taking: After profits exceed 50%, take profits in batches (e.g., sell half when there's a 20% pullback).

Position Diversification: Never go all-in! Mainstream coins (60%) + potential projects (30%) + cash (10%), reduce risk.

3. Emotional First Aid: Trading Journal + Cool-off Period

Record every transaction: Write down the reasons for your actions and emotional state, and discover the 'addictive pattern' during reviews.

Forced Calm: Pause trading for 24 hours after a loss to avoid revenge trading.

Three, Real Case Study: From liquidation to stable profit, he only did one thing right!

Story of Rookie A:

Stage 1: With a 2000U principal, heavily invest in a worthless coin to 5000U, refuse to take profits, and ultimately lose everything.

Stage 2: After learning strategies, allocate 2000U to BTC + ETH, set stop-loss at 10%, and sell in batches at 30% profit, doubling in six months.
His Insight: 'The market does not care about your costs, only respects the rules.'
