Many people, after entering the market, cannot get past the first hurdle, not because of skill, but because of mindset.
Clearly, the direction is right, yet they are always caught in a dilemma:
When it rises, they worry about selling too early, fearing they will earn less; when it drops, they worry about not being able to hold on, fearing they will incur significant losses.
For example, you entered at 20,000 USD, and when the price just reached 21,000, you hurriedly took profits, earning a small amount. But then you watched it soar to 25,000, and you began to feel restless: if only you had waited a bit longer, wouldn’t you have made a fortune?
So you secretly made a resolution: next time, you must hold on!
But when the next time really comes and it rises to 21,000, you stubbornly hold on, only for the market to suddenly reverse and drop to 19,500. You panic, unable to endure, and you cut losses to exit. After all that back and forth, you didn’t earn much, and instead, your mindset was worn down.
This is the cycle that most people cannot escape: fearing missing out on gains, fearing drawdowns when holding. It seems like they are trading every day, but in reality, they are just fighting with themselves.
So, is there a way to not miss small opportunities while capturing larger ones?
The straightforward answer: no.
Those who can truly survive here and make money have long made sacrifices: not chasing small fluctuations, but focusing on major trends. They can endure being in cash, daring to miss short-term opportunities, all to wait for those large-scale movements that can double returns.
A single market wave can earn 200%, preserving profits, and if they come back for another wave, it’s a 4x return. Unfortunately, most people earn 200% and then lose it back, compounding has never truly begun.
In this market, there is no such thing as "missing out"; only profits taken count; what cannot be held onto, no matter how big the market is, is just talk.
Therefore, what is being tested is not whether you can read candlestick charts, but:
Can you wait, until the opportunity you truly understand arises to take action?
Can you be decisive, cutting losses when needed, taking profits without hesitation or dragging on?
Can you hold your ground, not being led by emotions?
Mindset, rhythm, execution, none can be lacking.
What you lack is not effort; this market is not short of opportunities. What you truly lack is someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
