Everyone wants to make money, but what often determines how far you can go is not accuracy, but whether you can stay alive to see the next opportunity.

In cryptocurrency trading, losing money is not the worst—losing control is.

Many people's problems are not due to wrong judgments about the direction, but a deadly habit: always taking on too large a position. When losses break through the psychological bottom line, emotions take over completely. When it’s time to cut losses, they hesitate; when they should reduce risk, they stubbornly hold on. Watching the market fluctuate repeatedly, they become more and more anxious, changing orders again and again, leading to even bigger mistakes.

So how do those who consistently make money trade? They think through the worst-case scenario before placing an order. They have a clear plan before entering, and once in the trade, they execute like a robot—unless a structural reversal signal appears, they never casually adjust their position.

The hardest part is not actually executing stop-losses, but the psychological game after holding the position. Humans naturally amplify good news and ignore bad news; slight market fluctuations start to trigger self-suggestion. Taking profits also requires the same discipline—don’t try to eat everything at once; lock in profits when appropriate, keep some core position to ride the long-term trend, and set target prices in advance—no changing your mind mid-trade.

The key point is: **Logical losses are more valuable than blind profits**.

With a clear strategy, controlled positions, and disciplined execution, even if you don’t make money on this trade, you’re still alive in this market. As long as you’re alive, you have the right to wait for the real big trend.
