"When You Start Making Small Stable Profits, The Danger Is Just Beginning"

$BTC $ETH $BNB $SOL
Many people think that the hardest part of trading is—getting from a loss back to break-even.
But the truth is, as you live longer, you'll realize:
The most dangerous phase is actually when you just start making stable profits.
Because when you're losing, at least you're afraid,
But after small gains—
People are most prone to overconfidence.
1. The most dangerous small profits are not about having little money, but about illusions increasing
When you have been:
Controlling drawdowns for a while
Occasionally making profits
Your account is slowly climbing
A voice will quietly emerge in your mind:
“Have I finally figured it out?”
That’s when the danger begins.
Because the market’s favorite victims to harvest are never beginners,
But—those who just start to gain confidence.
2. Many big losses happen during the “best” state
Looking back at your major drawdowns,
They often don’t happen during the worst times,
But after:
A series of profitable trades
Daring to make bolder judgments
Quietly increasing position sizes
Thinking you’re more confident,
But actually just gambling more.
There’s a cruel rule in trading:
90% of profits are taken by that one uncontrolled large position.
It’s not the market killing you,
It’s you no longer respecting the risk.
3. From “small profits” to “long-term survival,” the gap is self-restraint
Being able to make small profits is already an achievement for many.
But to achieve long-term stability,
You must cross a more difficult hurdle:
Self-discipline.
There are only four specific things:
Reduce position size when making profits
Take主动休息 when things are going well
Avoid letting single profits amplify emotions
Always assume the next trade will be wrong
It sounds counterintuitive,
But almost everyone who survives long-term
Practices this.
Because they understand one thing:
Trading isn’t about who makes money faster,
It’s about who survives longer.
4. True stability is so boring it makes people doubt life
When someone truly matures,
Their trading becomes extremely boring:
Rarely overleveraging
Rarely getting excited
Rarely making暴利
And often staying out of the market
Outsiders may see it as lack of skill,
But only those who have experienced it understand:
Being able to make money long-term while staying boring
Is the most scarce skill in this market.
Because passion and暴利
Often carry the shadow of the next big loss.
Conclusion
If you’re just starting to make small profits now,
Don’t rush to get excited.
Remember this:
Loss periods test your endurance,
Small profit periods test your true self-control.
Those who can’t hold onto small profits
Will eventually return to the starting point.
And those who truly go far
Are often just doing one simple,
But rarely sustained, thing:
When you want to enlarge your position the most,
Choose to stop.
From that moment on,
You are truly heading toward—long-term survival in trading.
