#数字资产市场洞察 Have you ever experienced moments like this? The money in your account keeps decreasing, and your trading becomes more frequent — sometimes it goes up, and you follow; sometimes it drops, and you panic. Clearly, you've learned about candlestick charts, support levels, resistance levels, but as soon as the market turns its back, you get slapped, and your account immediately drops. Eventually, you start doubting yourself: "Am I really suited to survive in this market?"

Recently, a friend of mine told me about this, and he feels quite hopeless. His account has only a little over two thousand U because the altcoin market has hurt him. The perpetual contract $BEAT once dropped as much as 42.41% in a day, which is not even the craziest — the Labubu coin skyrocketed and then plummeted to 91.66%, and the 二舅 coin doubled and then nearly went to zero in just a few days. The trick with these coins is exactly that — rapid rise, rapid fall, with just one emotional fluctuation, and you lose everything.
He is not lacking in technical knowledge, nor has he never learned trading methods; the problem is that he cannot control his heart. When the market slightly rises, he fears missing out on a big wave. When it drops, he fears it will get worse. The whole day passes, not only losing money but also energy and reason.
He told me something at that moment, and I still remember it now: "I feel like I can't take it anymore."
I didn't give him more energy, nor did I talk about deep trading theories. I just told him one truth: your current balance is not meant to double, but to keep your hands steady.

When the market is still unclear, don’t rush to act. Not every trading day needs to have a position — being able to patiently keep your account empty is a sign of your progress. Reduce your position size; each mistake is just a small slip, not a total loss. Gradually shift from the rhythm of "losing a little each day" to a stable pattern of "earning a little every few days." Once the rhythm stabilizes, your mindset will naturally change.
A few months later, this friend felt that the most impressive thing was not how much money he made from any trade, but that he had developed a habit — before actually placing an order, he would ask himself one question:
