Many people naturally think it's about the amount of funds and technology. But my feeling is quite the opposite. Large traders have their own strategies, retail traders have their own ways of living, and the amount of capital has never been the decisive factor. As for those precise entry and exit points, they are futile when facing the manipulator's sweep orders.
I believe the real factor that can influence the outcome is psychological resilience.
You've probably seen many such scenarios — the direction is indeed correct, but a few points of pullback scare the hell out of people. In a panic, they cut their losses and run, paying transaction fees in the process. Then the market suddenly rallies. And you can't sit still, rushing to buy in, only to end up losing money on a trade that should have been profitable due to your repeated operations. That feeling is the worst.
In fact, market fluctuations are unavoidable; this is part of trading contracts daily. The real test is whether you can stay calm after opening a position. Never doubt your judgment just because of minor fluctuations. The same applies to coins like FHE, ZEC, PIPPIN — volatility is their normal state.
Next time the market jitters, take a deep breath and tell yourself this is normal. Compared to perfect trading techniques, a steady mind is the true weapon for making money.

Well said, mentality is really the biggest enemy. I especially agree with the cycle of cutting losses and running, then taking over again. Every time I see others operate like that, I feel sorry for them... It's really just a mental barrier; no matter how good the skills are, it's all in vain.

Handshake, this is the truth. How many people have lost to themselves rather than to the market...

That's right, mindset can really determine everything. I was just so careless that I lost everything myself.

The grass was really poked, and the moment I cut the meat, I wanted to pump myself, turned around to look at the market, and my intestines regretted it
