#特朗普加密新政 Cryptocurrency Trading Diary Insights: Anchoring Rationality Amidst Volatility

Having been involved in cryptocurrency trading for nearly three years, I went from being confused while staring at candlestick charts to being able to maintain a relatively stable rhythm amidst fluctuations. The trading diary has become my most loyal "review partner." These records of opening reasons, stop-loss points, and closing logic are not just transaction logs; they also hide the trajectory of cognitive iteration, and I often gain new insights when reviewing them.

Core of the Diary: Making Every Trade "Justifiable"

In the beginning, I often placed orders based on "intuition"—following trends when someone in the community called out a signal, wanting to chase when the price rose, and wanting to cut losses when the price fell, resulting in frequent entrapments. Later, I realized that trades without records are like a ship without a rudder; when I made a profit, I didn’t understand why, and when I incurred losses, I was even more clueless.

Three Key Insights Extracted from the Diary

1. Stop-loss is a lifeline; records are a supervision line

Reviewing my early diaries, I found that nearly 60% of my losses came from "not stopping losses." I later forced myself to write down stop-loss points in advance in my diary; every time I hesitated, I would open the diary to look at my calm judgment from the past, which often helped suppress impulsiveness. The diary acts like a mirror, reflecting which losses are systemic risks (to be accepted) and which are human errors (to be corrected).

2. "Missing out" is more worthy of review than "making a mistake"

Profitable trades are worth summarizing, but those opportunities that "should have been seized but were missed" contain blind spots in cognition. For example, there was a time when Ethereum saw continuous inflows of funds before the merge; I noted in the diary, "observed signals but worried about positive news materializing," and as a result, it later surged by 30%. During the review, I realized it was due to insufficient judgment of the "expectation fulfillment rhythm," so I later added an analysis dimension of "market sentiment cycles" in the diary.

3. Emotions affect results more than techniques

There is a page in the diary specifically for recording "psychological activities during operations": "Seeing the account floating profit at 5%, my heart races, and I want to close the position immediately to take profits"; "It dropped by 2%, and I started to doubt my judgment, unable to resist the urge to cut losses." These records made me realize that many times, even when technical analysis was on point, it lost to greed or fear. Now, before every opening, I first write down in the diary the "most likely points to trigger emotional loss of control."
