#币圈 Trading Mindset: You are not losing money, but emotions
In the world of trading, what truly determines success or failure is not the market, but your mindset. Many people think that losing money is due to insufficient skills, but in reality, emotions are the biggest enemy.
1. Do you have 'loss aversion'?
Many people panic as soon as they lose money, start trading frequently, averaging down, and holding positions, hoping to 'break even'. But the market will not move according to your emotions; the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to fall into bigger traps. Calm down, accepting losses as part of trading is more important than blindly chasing trades.
2. Earning money is easy, but holding on is difficult
Many people have fantasized about 'getting rich overnight', but those who truly make money in the long run rely not on luck, but on a stable mindset. If you get inflated when you make money and doubt yourself when you lose, such a trading mindset is doomed to be eliminated by the market. Patience and discipline are key to long-term profitability.
3. Trading is not gambling
If you are trading based solely on feelings, it is no different from gambling. The market is not a casino, but an amplifier of emotions. Learn to formulate a trading plan, set stop-loss and take-profit levels, rather than gambling on luck, so you can truly become a mature trader.
The essence of trading is a struggle with oneself. You can control your emotions, you can control your capital. Don’t let emotions dominate your trading; the market will not change direction because of your anxiety. Only with a stable mindset can you survive longer in trading.
