After 10 years of cryptocurrency trading, I've discovered the most common pitfalls for retail investors.
It's not that they can't read candlestick charts, but that they can't overcome the "psychological barrier"—they panic when they make 300U, but stubbornly hold on when they lose 3,000U. Ultimately, their accounts become like a funnel, with little gain and much loss.
I call this pattern "slow gains, fast losses." I've seen too many people sweat in their palms when a coin they bought rises 5%, fearing their profits will disappear, and close their positions immediately. But once the price drops, they comfort themselves with "it's just a correction," waiting for a 5% drop to 20%, only admitting defeat when the system forces them to close their positions.
Last year, a fan showed me his records. He'd made 46 trades in six months, 38 of which were profitable, but the total wasn't enough to cover the losses from the two large losses.
The solution to this problem is a single word: "do the opposite." Hold on longer when you're making money, and stop immediately when you're losing. I once coached a fan who owns a convenience store. He had previously lost 5,000 units and was left with only 1,800. He always said, "It's always good to quit while you're ahead." I told him to change his rules: hold on to profits for three days, and cut them immediately if they drop more than 3%.
His first trade was ETH. He was uneasy when it rose 8%, but he held on to it until the fifth day, earning an additional 6 points. Later, he bought SOL, which fell 4%. He gritted his teeth and closed his position, only losing 72 units. In the past, he would have lost 300 units. Over the past six months, his 1,800 units have grown to 23,000 units. He said he now checks the market while watching the store and doesn't click the trade button as frequently as before.
Retail investors often believe that "profits are secure only when they're in the pocket," but they forget that money in the market isn't something you snatch; it's something you earn through hard work. Those who followed my lead and overcame their "quick gains, slow losses" habit—last year, one made 150,000 units from 2,000 units, and another lost all but 800 units. Now, they have over 90,000 units in their accounts—they've grasped the principle of "letting profits run longer and letting losses stop sooner."
The next wave's layout is already mapped out, with the points, rhythm, and positions clearly marked. If you're following @币来财888 , don't get carried away. Just stick to one principle: precise targeting and avoid unnecessary work.
But let me be frank: only those with strong execution skills will follow.
They're the kind who don't complain when the market drops, don't get greedy when it rises, and can execute with dedication.
They're the kind who know opportunities wait for no one and want to get on board now, not just wait for a surge.
If you want to take advantage of this wave, don't waste time; come now.
