#数字资产市场动态 Holding a few thousand USDT, why am I still not making money? Bro, the problem might not be the market, but yourself.



$AT has been on a good rally recently, but what I encountered lately better illustrates the core issue. Last week, a guy came to me, staring at the market with 7000U, unable to sit still as it turned red, insisting on going all-in today. I asked him, "Are your previous losses really because you missed the opportunity?"

He was silent—he already knew the answer. In the beginning, he was too impatient, frequently trading out of fear of missing out, resulting in turning 1200U into just over 280. During that period, he watched the market all day, placing orders every hour, piling up fees, while his account looked worse and worse.

The turning point came when I set a rule for myself: at most two trades per week, and if I don't have absolute confidence, I stay out of the market.

Last week, my first trade took four days to set up. It wasn't until SOL retested the 20-day moving average, with volume and sentiment aligning, that I entered. After six hours, I had a floating profit of 1800U, and I closed immediately. At that moment, I realized—it's not about technical skills, but about being free from "FOMO anxiety."

Every subsequent trade I made followed this approach: first analyze the big picture over three days, confirm volume-price resonance and market sentiment stabilization, write down take-profit and stop-loss levels on paper, then execute. It may seem "slower," but in fact, the account becomes more stable.

Playing with small funds in crypto, the key is never about doing more, but doing less and doing it accurately. Opportunities will always come, but capital is limited. Maintaining the right mindset is the most practical way to make money.

Trading crypto is not about who has better skills or luck, but about battling your greed and impatience. The reason I’ve gone from over 280U to now is not because of precise predictions, but because I’ve truly conquered my inner demons and strictly followed trading discipline.

The next wave of the market is brewing, don’t rush—first stabilize your mindset, wait for the most confident opportunity before taking action. That’s the real rule to win in the crypto world.

That's right, it's all about mindset. I used to trade frequently, and the fees felt like burning money. Only in the past six months have I realized that making money in the crypto world is never about predicting the rise or fall correctly. Waiting patiently is often more effective than rushing. I now place at most two trades a week, and the rest of the time I stay out of the market, just browsing news, which has actually made my account more stable. That feeling of constantly staring at the screen with itchy fingers—breaking free from it is the real start to making money.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Having money actually makes it easier to become impatient. This share really hits home; turning around over 280U really moved me, truly. Waiting is much harder than placing an order. I’m also often driven by FOMO. Two trades a week sounds simple, but executing them requires a lot of discipline. Writing take-profit and stop-loss on paper is a brilliant trick; it's much more reliable than just thinking about it in your head. Looks like I need to break the habit of frequent trading.

Honestly, the process from over 280 to now has been truly incredible. It's really a game of mindset. If you don't believe me, just look at those around you who frequently trade. Wait, is your rule of "closing all positions twice a week" really effective? It seems like you might be missing out on quite a few opportunities. I've heard this story in several versions, but the core message is—greed is poison. I'm also trying the volume-price resonance strategy, but it feels even more exhausting than watching the charts. I need to wait several days before I dare to act. Turning 280U into the current level is really impressive. How strong must one's mental resilience be? I guess I would have lost my mind long ago.

That's really impressive. I was the one who bought at around 1200U and sold at over 280, constantly chasing gains and getting wiped out by fees. Now I've finally understood, sticking to it stubbornly, and surprisingly, I'm living more comfortably.

Honestly, seeing that 1200U turn into over 280 in that story was a bit heartbreaking... I used to play like that too, constantly watching the charts and jittering with anxiety, afraid of missing out on even a penny. As a result, most of the profit was eaten up by fees.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Someone who can turn things around with over 280U must have a very strong mental resilience. Wait, why do I feel like I've heard this set of theories too many times... Those who truly make money never boast online. Two trades a week? I've tried, but I still lost money. Maybe I just don't have that luck. Quickly close a floating profit of 1800U? Are you doing swing trading or playing a probability game? The key is that the principal is too small. No matter how steady your mindset is, you can't withstand slippage and transaction fees, brother.
