After eight years of struggling in the Crypto Assets market, I finally grasped the true meaning of "winning for sure." Looking back on my early days in the market, I once prided myself on being a master of foresight, confidently predicting trends and seizing opportunities. However, reality always turned out to be contrary: every time I bought, the coin price would fall, and once I sold, it would start to rise. My account seemed to be cursed; whatever coin I chose, it would experience a big dump.



At that time, I was doubting myself every day, thinking that fate was against me. It wasn't until later that I realized: the real opponent is not the market, but my own insatiable heart. As soon as the market shows a little improvement, I can't resist the urge to trade; if the rise is significant, I think about doubling my position; and with just a slight pullback, I panic and cut my losses indiscriminately. Ultimately, the problem lies not in trading skills, but in being too afraid of missing opportunities and incurring losses.

I have witnessed too many beginners' performances, just like my own back in the day: a single candlestick can affect the whole body, and a single fluctuation can lead to emotional loss of control. The more the account loses, the more chaotic the operations become; the more chaotic, the more serious the losses. Until one day, I encountered a big dump. That night, watching the cold words "liquidation completed" on my phone, I fell into a void. At that moment, I finally realized: what the market tests is not your operational skills, but your psychological endurance.

After experiencing this blow, I forced myself to stop, no longer trading frequently, and no longer fixating on coin price fluctuations. I began to seriously review each trade, analyzing which were made out of impulse, which were driven by greed, and which I should have resisted but didn't. Gradually, I became "dull": when the market rises, I'm not in a hurry to enter; when the market falls, I'm also not in a hurry to escape. I learned to wait for signals, control my positions, and adhere to the trading rhythm. Sometimes I don't make any moves for a week, but once I do, I can achieve stable returns.

Someone asked me how I managed to be so steady. I smiled and replied: it’s not about becoming smarter, but rather being taught a painful lesson by the market and finally learning to have respect. Steadiness is not about doing nothing, but knowing when to act and when to hold back. You must first experience the agony of "knowing there’s an opportunity but not daring to act rashly" in order to enjoy the stability of "easy profits."

With eight years of market experience, I want to summarize in one sentence: the market is not about who has a sharper vision, but about who can persist longer. If you can keep your composure, the market will naturally reward you.

For those who are still in loss, feeling confused, and eager to turn things around, my advice is: be less impulsive and more rhythmic. You will find that profit can actually be quite calm. In this ever-changing market, true winning comes from inner peace and respect for the market.
