Yesterday, I opened a position near 58, and I've been thinking a lot about why trading is so difficult lately. I realized that: technical analysis, fundamentals, news — these are all tools, your arsenal for market analysis. But ultimately, the ones that make money are often those invisible factors.
When I share strategy orders with others, a bunch of questions flash through my mind: How much leverage did they use? Is their position too heavy? How far is the liquidation price? Has this guy already lost his composure? Can he hold on? Once these thoughts appear, the entire trading approach gets messy.
Knowing is easy, doing is hard. Especially during market oscillations, you'll find that even perfect technical analysis can't compete with the market's resilience. Sometimes, I get particularly annoyed with intraday trading, not only because the trading space shrinks but also because of the omnipresent mental pressure — constantly draining your psychological energy.
So, during this period, the focus isn't really on studying new indicators or strategies, but on fixing your vulnerabilities in trading. Risk management, position control, psychological resilience — these are the keys to long-term survival.

This guy is so right, mindset really is the watershed.
---
No matter how fancy the technical analysis is, it’s useless in the end; it’s still a psychological battle.
---
58 building positions, intraday mental stress, fear of leverage liquidation... Basically, it’s just about mental preparation.
---
I just want to ask, are you guys’s mindsets collapsing now? Anyway, I only realized this after experiencing a few waves of sharp declines.
---
So risk management is not really about skills; it’s about setting rules for yourself and not letting emotions dominate your positions.
---
Every time I see others going all-in, I get anxious for them. I really can’t handle that kind of psychological pressure.
---
I know the theory, but actually doing it is the real challenge. During those hours of market volatility, even the strongest mental resilience gets tested.

Really, opening leverage too high is just asking for death. Once your mindset collapses, everything is over.

Really, you're absolutely right about the mindset. I used to focus solely on technical analysis, but in the end, I was still tortured by psychological pressure.
