The fiercest enemy in the crypto world is not the market itself.

What can truly destroy an account is precisely that relentless impulse you can't suppress.

After being in this circle for a long time, you gradually realize—most losses are not due to how fierce the market is, but because you still act when you shouldn't.

Recently, I was chatting with an old player, reviewing his trading account. The most painful thing he said was: opportunities never really disappear; every liquidation is a direct result of emotional out-of-control.

Getting panicked at a dip, impulsively cutting and admitting defeat; fearing missing out at a rally, turning around to chase at a historical high. This is a true reflection of trading psychology.

Many understand the market, but only those who can control themselves and safeguard their positions are the winners.

That was really harsh, it hit home. I used to play like that before—getting anxious and selling when I was bearish, then chasing highs afterward, ending up wiped out in a month. Now I realize, it's really just a bad mentality.

That's right, it's really just a struggle with oneself... Seeing the green market makes me want to cut, and seeing the red market makes me want to chase... The account is just gone like that.

That's right, I just can't control my hands. Every time, I chase after gains when it rises and sell when it drops. It's all this impulsive money that leads to losses.
