#密码资产动态追踪 Having been in the digital asset space for so many years, the deepest lesson comes from a painful loss two years ago—an account that dropped from a high point to less than 30%. I still remember the sleepless nights during that period very clearly.



After experiencing enough losses, I finally understood some things. I can't say I can make stable profits, but at least I’ve learned how to avoid most traps.

Observing retail investors around me, almost everyone is stuck in a vicious cycle: when prices fall, they hold on tightly, hoping to break even; when prices rise, they rush to sell, fearing profits will slip away. Actually, the opposite should be done—hold onto positions when the market is favorable, and cut losses decisively at key support levels. This way, you can "hold comfortably when making money, and exit quickly when losing," avoiding most disasters.

Volume is a real-time market signal. When volume shrinks during an upward move, there’s usually still room; if support is broken and the market consolidates with decreasing volume, it’s often smart money quietly building positions.

Position management is crucial—don’t be greedy. Choosing two or three promising targets is enough. Spreading out too much can lead to a chaotic mindset. Short-term sharp drops often rebound, and large moves at the end of the day are usually early traps for the next day, so be cautious.

The market has a rhythm. Instead of obsessing over direction, following the trend is the key—short-term traders should watch short-term moving averages, while long-term traders focus on mid-term averages. Once broken, don’t hold on stubbornly. As long as a popular coin has momentum and active trading, it can usually rebound after a decline. Opportunities with high odds and a good chance of success are worth participating in.

The most important point: after making a good profit, you must go to cash and rest, so your inflated mindset isn’t taken advantage of by the market. When facing losses, don’t fight hard—wait until market sentiment improves before acting.

In essence, trading cryptocurrencies is a test of patience—stick to discipline, wait patiently, and resist temptation.

The market is always there; the real test is whether you can control yourself. Over these years, I finally realized that the biggest enemy isn’t the market trend, but the greed and fear inside my own mind.

When the account is directly cut to thirty percent, it really feels worse than death. --- This theory sounds good, but the problem is how many people can actually implement it. --- I agree that the idea of a trap in a late-day rally is valid; I've stepped on too many pits. --- The last sentence hits the mark: the enemy is our own greed, and that's true. --- Talking about resting with an empty position is easy; but can you resist FOMO when it comes? --- The logic of reducing volume to build positions is reliable, but can retail investors catch the smart money's positions? --- The suggestion of two or three targets is good; I used to be too scattered, and in the end, I couldn't even manage myself. --- A moving average break below signals a stop-loss; it sounds simple, but the psychological barrier is really tough. --- The ones who truly make money are always those who know when to rest. I lost money from frequent trading.

Yeah, you're right. Greed is the most deadly flaw. --- I also went through a account explosion once, really couldn't sleep well. --- Retail investors love to trade against the trend. When it's time to cut losses, they hope to recover their losses. Truly incredible. --- I only understand now the importance of resting in cash. Before, I would just keep trading whenever I made a little profit. --- I've never really grasped the volume aspect. A decrease in volume followed by a rise actually looks promising. --- Stocks often drop the day after a late-day surge. There are too many traps, brother. --- Controlling yourself is much harder than just following the trend, honestly. --- Two or three targets are enough. I used to hold a bunch of different coins and ended up messing everything up. --- Knowing about support levels and stop-losses is one thing, actually executing them is hell. --- Greed and fear are truly the biggest enemies. Telling it like it is.

This悟道 text actually emphasizes one of the most valuable points—that the biggest enemy is oneself. Recalling a case I read yesterday about early digital artists experiencing a mental breakdown, isn't this the same principle? Holding good works and maintaining a good mindset are equally challenging. However, to be honest, statements like "smart money is building positions" are too absolute. Archaeological research on the blockchain over the years has taught me that data can be deceptive, but the timeline won't lie. Projects truly worth participating in are often not judged by short-term volume but by the completeness of their cultural record. I resonate with the part about position management. Spreading out holdings too thin is like dispersing cultural relics; it actually diminishes the overall value.

This statement is true. My biggest mistake was sticking to the idea of "holding on until breaking even"... Only when I was completely broke did I realize how good it is to stay out of the market.

Everyone's right, but the key is that most people know what to do but can't actually do it... Isn't this a classic case of rational expectations failure? Talking on paper is the easiest. The real problem is that the interaction cost for retail investors is too high. A gas war can blow up their mentality, so what discipline are we even talking about... The argument about "smart money building positions" is a bit of a waste. From on-chain data, shrinking volume and consolidation are more likely signs of liquidity drying up. We need to look at the actual whale wallet movements to confirm; relying solely on candlestick charts is just survivor bias.
