Have you ever wondered why you often make the same mistakes in trading? Actually, Buddhism has pointed this out thousands of years ago—the five poisons of the mind are our greatest enemies.

I just realized that the bull market phase makes these poisons even more apparent. First is greed—the feeling of FOMO, always wanting to buy at the top because you're afraid of missing out. Then, when the market corrects, anger appears—you might curse analysts, cut losses quickly, and withdraw from the market. That’s how you lose.

But perhaps the hardest part is the remaining ones. Ignorance—refusing to learn, just hearing something and going all-in. Arrogance—looking down on others, thinking you're smarter than the market. And finally, doubt—the mental state of uncertainty and indecision. You might ask what doubt is, but it’s actually the constant oscillation between trust and suspicion, causing you to miss opportunities.

By the way, if you want to follow potential assets and better manage your trading psychology, Gate is a pretty stable place to practice these things. Most importantly, eliminate these five poisons before the market enters its final stage—because it will be too late then.
