The longer you immerse yourself in the crypto space, the more you realize: many dilemmas are not caused by the market, but are ones we actively fall into ourselves. The following rules are reminders I wrote down after countless reviews:
1. Why do large fluctuations always happen at night?
Because most people are accustomed to trading during the day, but the main players choose to act during times with fewer people, making emotions easier to manipulate. Especially after 21:30, it is often a key time for market movements.
2. When there is a continuous decline during the day, do you panic?
But it is precisely at these times that a rebound often quietly arrives; conversely, if the market rises too sharply during the day, it is more likely to experience a correction at night.
3. When a spike occurs in the market, are you eager to exit, or can you calmly observe?
Many people panic when they see a spike; in fact, this is often a 'test' operation by the controlling party. The more intense the spike, the closer it is to a turning point in the market.
4. Every time news is released, do you always find yourself 'buying at the high'?
The market has a tendency to react in advance and then adjust afterwards. When you see 'major positive news', most funds have already quietly entered the market.
5. The more lively the discussions in the group, do you feel more at ease?
But have you thought about the fact that this atmosphere of consensus is what traps you in 'emotional peaks'? And after emotions peak, risk release often follows.
6. Why do those coins you don't pay attention to always rise quietly?
Highly popular areas are fiercely competitive, like a battlefield, while less popular areas may actually hide opportunities and become ambush points. Don't just focus on the coins you are 'interested' in.
7. Why does your trading rhythm become chaotic once you heavily invest?
Because after heavily investing, you start to 'fear losses', and all your judgments revolve around 'fear of losses'. This is not due to a lack of technical skills, but a result of an imbalanced psychological state.
8. Do you often find that as soon as you set a stop loss, the market moves in the direction you originally expected?
This does not mean you are 'targeted' by the market, but rather that your stop loss position is too consistent with most people. This is not a matter of luck, but a deviation in trading behavioral patterns.
9. Just when you are about to break even, the market suddenly reverses. Do you think this is a coincidence?
In fact, this is not a coincidence; it is precisely because most people are watching the 'break-even point' and preparing to exit, so how could the market easily let everyone escape smoothly?
10. As soon as you close your position, the coin price starts to rise. Whose fault is this?
Actually, no one is at fault. The market is just waiting for the 'pressure point chips' like you to be cleared away before it can shed its burden and continue moving forward.
11. Why does the market always reverse when you are most excited about it?
Because excitement is a collective emotion, and once you feel this emotional peak, it usually means you have become a 'latecomer', which increases the probability of market reversal.
12. The moment you experience FOMO (fear of missing out), it marks the beginning of your rational exit from the market.
When you feel 'I can't miss this opportunity', you have actually lost the ability to make objective judgments.
In conclusion:
You might think trading is about luck, but in reality, it is about controlling human nature. If you cannot control your impulses, the market will repeatedly teach you lessons.
So I often remind myself: operate slower, use lighter positions, and maintain a cooler mindset. The market is not afraid of you being inactive; it fears that you see the market too clearly.
