#数字资产市场动态 Holding a few thousand yuan in your hand, do you always want to go all-in? Wait, first listen to what experienced traders have to say.
To make money in the crypto world, the first lesson is not choosing coins or analyzing charts, but controlling your hands—don't let "FOMO" trap you.
Last week, a friend came to complain that he had 1200 yuan, and seeing the market turn red hot, he was eager to go all in immediately. I asked him, "Are those previous losses really because you didn't cut your losses early? Or was it just poor operation on your part?"
He was silent. He finally realized—it wasn't that he missed out on something, but that he was tortured by this "can-miss" mentality: making seven or eight trades a day, paying a bunch of fees, and his account kept shrinking. From an initial 500 yuan, he traded himself down to just over 100.
The turning point came from a "strict rule": at most two trades per week, and if there's no absolute certainty, stay in cash. Sounds pessimistic? Actually, quite the opposite.
Recently, I had an opportunity when SOL retested the 20-day moving average. I waited four days. When volume, sentiment, and price aligned, I decided to enter. Six hours later, I made a 200 yuan profit and took it off the table. At that moment, I understood—it's not poor technique, but anxiety that leads you astray.
Since then, every operation follows the same pattern: first analyze the big picture over three days, wait for volume-price resonance and sentiment stabilization, clearly define take-profit and stop-loss, then act. Surprisingly, this "slow step" approach makes the account more stable over time.
For small funds playing in the crypto market, the key is never about doing more, but doing accurately and less. Opportunities are continuous, but capital is limited. Maintaining the right mindset is the strongest competitive advantage.
To put it simply, this game isn't about skill or luck—it's about whether you can control greed and suppress impatience. Enduring the initial impatience period and strictly following your trading discipline will help you survive longer in the crypto market.
The next wave of market movement may not be far away, but the premise is to stay calm first, wait for the most confident opportunity, and then act. This is the true winning logic of crypto trading.

This is what I've been doing all along, really, controlling my speed is more important than anything else. I used to trade every day, and the transaction fees could eat up half of my profits. Now that I can hold back, I've won.

Really, I've seen many people with the mentality of going all-in with just a little money in hand.
Well said, that guy making seven or eight trades a day, I was cut like that before too.
Wait, did you really wait four days to enter during that SOL wave? That's pretty intense, brother. I couldn't hold back anymore a long time ago haha.
The core feeling is—self-control is a thousand times more important than technology. This really hits the point.
Two trades per week sounds conservative, but when you look back at the account growth data, you'll understand.
Mindset is something that's easy to talk about but really hard to do.

Wow, really? I was actually worn out by fees like this before. Doing seven or eight transactions a day is honestly a bit overwhelming...

Really, manual trading is a psychological game; the biggest enemy is when you can't stop your hands.

Performing 7 or 8 transactions a day and having half of the fees eaten up—I've seen this pattern in on-chain data too many times. Large address flows can hardly reflect this kind of rookie behavior... That's correct, but people will still keep going all-in.
