#以太坊行情解读 A trader complained to me that he recently fell on alts. His account dropped from a few k to only 1300U, and he has stepped into many pits.



The problem is actually very clear: trading is entirely based on feelings. Chasing when it rises, cutting losses when it falls, and losing two to three k in a day. Eventually, the account feels numb, and the person becomes indifferent.

He said something heartbreaking: "If it can't be turned around, I really have to give up." When I heard this, I knew he wasn't looking for a solution, he was just waiting for a lifeline.

I first splashed him with a basin of cold water. Relying on one explosive move, one heavy investment, and one "catching the demon coin" to turn things around? That’s just speeding up the exit. Real turnaround isn’t acceleration, it’s an emergency stop.

His fundamental problem can be summed up in two words: impulsiveness. As soon as the market software is opened, he feels anxious if he doesn't act, resulting in always buying at the top and selling in panic.

My first suggestion is quite straightforward: when the market lacks a clear direction, it's most comfortable to stay out of the market. Don't chase rallies, don't try to catch the bottom, just wait. Wait until market sentiment stabilizes before making decisions.

The second step is the most tedious - setting rules. A maximum of 300U per transaction. There is only one goal: to keep every mistake within an acceptable range. Previously, losing 2000 in a day, but now even with several mistakes, the account can remain stable.

Slowly, he began to earn profits of 300, 500, which were not exciting, but real and substantial. Money was secondary; what mattered more was that his confidence returned.

The third element he has never done well: reviewing. Not for the sake of formality, but at the end of each trade, ask yourself three questions—was this trade done according to plan? Did emotions get involved? If I could do it again, would I do it this way?

He initially muttered, "Can it really turn around this slowly?" I just asked him one question: What happened when you were so fast before?

17 days have passed, and the account is still not in a position to turn around, but there is an essential change: he is no longer being driven by the market's emotions.

This is just the beginning of all true comeback stories.

Indeed, impulsiveness is the fundamental reason for losing money. I deeply understand the importance of holding a Short Position and waiting.

You're right, it's really about giving up that momentum investing approach.

The medical records show that this is a typical case of "momentum investing syndrome," with clinical manifestations: anxiety-impulsivity-loss death cycle. The key is that he has not yet escaped the fantasy of "one big win can turn things around"; this mindset itself is the root of the problem.
