The Harshest Trap in the Crypto World: Making Money Is Just the Beginning of Loss!
Many people enter the crypto world with this script: they make a profit on the first trade, make another profit on the second, can't sleep from excitement, feeling like they have found an ATM. So they increase their positions, make heavy bets, and go all in, resulting in their account returning to zero overnight, or even losing more.
This is not the market trapping you; it's you who fell into the pit of 'emotional mistakes.' What is 'emotional'? It means your emotions completely control your brain, turning you into the opposite of a trading machine: a gambler.
You made some money and immediately feel like a stock god, so you must place heavy bets on the next trade. You chase prices when the K-line rises and cut losses when it falls, completely lacking a strategy, only thinking about doubling your money. Risk management? Nonexistent. When you lose money, you panic and keep adding to your losses, ultimately getting stuck.
Why can't you hold onto the money you earned?
Because making money stimulates dopamine secretion, creating the illusion that you have become a 'gambling god.' At this point: risk awareness drops to zero: thinking 'stop-loss levels are for the weak'; position management fails: going all in is like 'running naked'; review ability disappears: attributing profits to 'godly operations' and blaming the market when losing.
How to break this cycle?
The answer is two words: discipline. The operating system of top traders looks like this:
Fixed position: no more than 2% of capital per trade, unwavering.
Move stop-profit: retreat if profits pull back by 30%, never be greedy.
Mandatory breaks: if you win 3 trades in a row, you must stop to prevent emotional overflow.
Emotional account: note your psychological state for each trade.
