Bro, are you staring at the screen so much every day that your eyes are going cross-eyed, but the more you look, the greener your account gets?

After grinding it out in this space for years, I’ve come to a painfully honest realization:

People who go all-in panic when the price drops—they pretend their phone is broken and won’t turn it on. If it goes up even a little, their hands start shaking like they have Parkinson’s, afraid the profits will slip away.
The ones sitting on the sidelines? If they don’t watch the market for two days, they miss the pump and end up kicking themselves for being too slow.
But those “half-position + strict stop-loss” guys? They’re happy every day, and their account curves steadily climb up and to the right.

This isn’t luck—it’s a complete mindset shift: Don’t brag when you win, don’t blame others when you lose. Don’t look for excuses when you get liquidated, and don’t let winning inflate your ego. All you focus on is how to play the next round, never obsessing over why you didn’t hold last time.

I came up with a simple trick to test my position size—lying in bed at 11 PM:
If a market update instantly jolts you awake, your position is just right.
If you can barely keep your eyes open after reading it, your position’s too light—you’re as chill as a retired government worker.
If you’re tossing and turning, heart pounding? You’re in too deep—liquidation territory is near!

That’s why I’ve kept my position at 40%-60% these past few years: if it drops 10% it hurts, but not enough to smash the keyboard. If it goes up 20%, it feels good, but not so good you want to quit your job. I can still calmly check the market every morning, not get shaken by a single 15-minute wick.

Some might think a “game mindset” means not taking it seriously. Totally wrong! That’s actually your strongest weapon—
It forces you to focus on “how to win the next round” instead of obsessing over “how to make back what you lost last round.” The former builds reusable strategies, the latter only breeds out-of-control emotions.

Now, I’ve completely gamified trading: position size is your XP bar, stop-losses are respawn coins, and every review is writing a walkthrough. If you master this, you’ll realize: the market’s still the same, the coins are still the same, but you’ve gone from being slaughtered retail to a steady, pro gold-farming team.

One last line:
Don’t treat trading like a life-or-death battle—treat it like a ranked match. As your rank goes up, your principal is just the system handing out trophies.
