Staying flat or taking minor losses? That's still a victory under current market conditions. Too many traders expect their portfolio to moon every single month throughout the year—that's just not how markets work. Reality check: even professional portfolio managers can't generate gains consistently across all 12 months. Accept the volatility, respect the cycles, and you'll sleep better. Wins come in different shapes.

Not losing money is making money. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but most people just can't accept it.

Not losing money is making money. If you don't even have this level of understanding, why are you still trading coins?

Not losing is earning, I agree with that. Many people are still dreaming of daily limit-ups, wake up.

Honestly, not losing is winning. Those who shout every day about doubling their money month after month are really oversimplifying the market. Even professional fund managers can't do it, so why should ordinary retail investors be able to?

According to historical data, only about 12% of fund managers can maintain a stable positive annualized return, and traders with a 100% monthly profit rate are even rarer—it's worth noting that this statistic itself suffers from survivor bias. The specific analysis is as follows: being able to hold steady during volatility without losses actually means surpassing most retail investors, so mental resilience must be well-prepared.
