A fan of mine said in the group a few days ago: "Bro, I hold my positions again."

I didn't scold him, nor did I comfort him. I just replied: "You're not holding a position; you're holding your own emotions."

The sharpest knife in the cryptocurrency world is never the candlestick chart or the market makers; it's that little bit of hope and fear inside you.

When the market falls, you start deceiving yourself: "Just wait a bit longer, it might rebound tomorrow."

You're not waiting for a rebound; you're waiting for a miracle.

But the market never speaks of miracles; it only speaks of rules.

If you don't cut your losses, the market will cut them for you, just in a more cruel way - liquidation.

When I guide people in trading, the first rule is:

Admit your mistakes, and when you lose, walk away.

It's not because I am cold-blooded, but because I know that **hope is an anesthetic for gamblers, but a poison for traders.

Interestingly, the same 'hope' is a weapon for another group of people.

Those who truly break out of the cryptocurrency world do not rely on bottom-fishing; rather, they are **the ones who dare to execute their plans even when everyone else is desperate.

When others cut losses, they build positions; when others panic, they add positions.

They are not fearless; they just **transform fear into respect**, instead of paralysis.

I also discovered a very strange rule:

Many people can hold losses but cannot hold onto profits.

When the market rises, he panics: 'What if it drops back tomorrow?'

So he exited early and ended up missing tenfold returns.

You are not afraid of falling; you are afraid of winning.

You don't believe you can really make money, so you always 'lock in profits', but in doing so, you end up poor.

I told that fan:

What you need to do is not conquer the market, but conquer yourself.

Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.

This is not comfort food; this is **anti-human training.

**Trading is not about prediction; it's about response. It's not about feelings; it's about discipline.

I had him review his trading records and found that he didn't fail due to technique, but due to emotions.

Every major loss is preceded by a 'let's take another look';

Every missed opportunity has a 'get out first and stabilize' ahead.

He said: 'Bro, I feel like I'm gambling.'

I said: 'You're not gambling, you are gambling.'

It's just that what you are betting isn't currency, but your own emotions.

Later, I started having him write trading logs, not about market conditions, but about feelings.

Why didn't you stop loss today?

Why did you close your position early today?

After writing for a month, he told me: 'Bro, I realized for the first time, **I am not trading the market, but my heart.'

I said you are just starting now.

The cryptocurrency world is not a battlefield; it is a mirror.

All the fluctuations you see are actually reflections of your inner self.

Are you still watching the market every day, staying up late, anxious, and praying?

Then you are not a trader; you are a believer.

**Real traders do not survive on hope; they survive on rules.

For the people I guide, I am not afraid of them losing; I am afraid they don't know why they are losing.

Because **losing once is tuition; losing a lifetime is life.

So, remember one thing:

You are not fighting the market, you are fighting yourself.

If you win the battle, the market is your ATM;

If you lose the battle, you are the fuel for the market.

Those who can survive in the market and still make money are always the ones who dare to reach out first.

Are you ready?
