The root of losses is never the method but the mindset.

Are you repeatedly engaging in trading habits that you know are wrong?

Knowing there are no signals yet still placing orders; understanding that stop losses must be decisive yet constantly delaying to move them; being clear that unstable emotions should lead to stopping, yet still opening charts to trade.

Stop blaming the market; what you are losing is self-control.

The most dangerous trap is knowingly committing mistakes. The problem is not technical analysis or the trading system but that you are being manipulated by emotions.

Have you traded to escape boredom and anxiety? Have you used charts as an escape from reality? Are you using trading to relieve stress?

If so, then the core issue is no longer trading techniques but your inner psychological state.

## Control your 3 'trading demons' every day:

1. **FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)**
Seeing the market rise and others profit, you panic: 'I can't miss out again!' So you impulsively enter without any analysis. This is actually a lack of self-confidence, not believing there will be future opportunities, being led by fear.

2. **Revenge Trading**
After losing, emotions explode, and one is solely focused on 'winning it back' to prove oneself, confronting the market with emotions. But the market is devoid of emotions; you are merely venting anger towards an unfeeling system. At that moment, you are no longer a trader but an emotionally out-of-control gambler.

3. **Overtrading**
Only when trading do you feel a sense of 'existence'; once you stop, you feel empty and anxious, leading to frequent entries, even without any reason. This is a fear of silence, a dread of idleness, using your account balance to prove your self-worth.

The brutal truth is: you are not losing to the market but to your own 'expectations'—hoping to always be right, hoping to make quick money, hoping to prove your abilities to others (and even to yourself). Once things do not go as expected, your mind collapses.

You are not trading the market; you are trading your own emotions.

The solution is never to learn more techniques but to learn to honestly face yourself:

- When emotions are out of control, stop immediately, regardless of gains or losses.
- Write a trading emotion journal every day; even if you haven’t placed an order, record it, and be sincere without self-deception.
- Always ask yourself: Are you trading to make money or to fill an inner void? Are you entering a trade because of clear signals, or out of fear of missing out?

You can also put effort into things outside of trading: meditation, exercise, proper rest, psychological healing, and communicating with trustworthy people.

In fact, losses are not scary; what is scary is not daring to face the real reasons. You don’t need new indicators, nor do you need to find a '90% win rate' system; you only need a stable system, combined with a mindset capable of executing it firmly.

The real battlefield is never on the charts but deep within your heart.#加密市场回调 #交易心理学
