#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 Still losing money after three years? The real issue isn't the market; it's that you can't preserve your gains.



A friend asked me why I've been trading crypto for three years and still losing money. I replied directly: "Because you can't hold on." Without experiencing a thousand trades, it's hard to truly understand the weight of this statement. But if you're willing to keep reading, today's words are worth pondering carefully.

Whether the crypto world can turn around ultimately depends not on how hard you try, but on whether you're willing to break the vicious cycle of losses. Many people think that making a profit once means they've won, but they don't realize that if they can't hold onto profits, the market will eventually consume them entirely.

Here's a painful math problem: a 50% account drawdown requires doubling your capital to break even. This isn't scare tactics; it's an ironclad fact.

Occasional profits? That's nothing. True winners focus on: controlling drawdowns and locking in profits in time. From rookie to expert, these are the key points. When the market pulls back, those who can stay steady are the ones who reveal themselves. During significant drawdowns, don't blame the market's ruthlessness—that's a problem with your trading system itself.

Admitting your weaknesses is not shameful; refusing to improve is truly foolish. The hardest part of trading has always been human nature—greed, impatience, fear of missing out, stubbornly holding onto losing positions. Verbally, we talk about investing, but emotionally, we are led by our feelings.

Over the years, I've done one thing: completely eliminate my weaknesses. Quit greed, abandon opportunities that don't belong to me, and focus solely on trading the markets I can understand.

Imagine the three stages of a trader:
Beginner traders always want to pick up 100x coins; as long as they don't lose everything, that's considered success. Intermediate traders start analyzing signals, avoiding chasing highs and selling lows, and focus on key turning points. Advanced traders no longer look at individual candlesticks; they monitor the overall trend of the account.

In the eyes of a master, there are no candlesticks—only the life line of the account. My secret to making money on $ETH is "don't predict the market, just follow the trades; don't try to bottom fish, just pick up the leaks." When the trend shifts from strong to weak, run quickly. Don't touch weak coins; wait for signals to be fully confirmed before adding positions. Stay steady.

Before opening a trade, think first: "How can I avoid losing money?" Then consider how much to earn. When the signal appears, act immediately. Take profits and leave quickly—don't get emotionally attached to the trade.

Trading is about who can survive longer. You're not fighting alone. Don't rush to double your money; stay calm first. Once you truly understand, you'll realize that the crypto world is a training ground, and you are the master controlling the rhythm.
