#数字资产市场动态 What exactly makes trading difficult? To be honest, maybe you're overcomplicating it.



Breaking it down, the underlying logic of trading isn't that mysterious—there are signals to enter, a bottom line for stop-loss, and targets for take-profit. Just like buying vegetables at the market, the prices are laid out clearly, and the rules are straightforward.

The problem is, most people fail between "knowing" and "doing."

They set a stop-loss at 5%, but when the price drops, they can't bring themselves to admit defeat, repeatedly thinking, "Maybe I can hold on and break even"; they plan to close at a 20% profit, but when it actually rises, they start to complain, "What's the point of this little gain?" and want to take another big shot. This mindset is like a romantic relationship—shouting unconditional commitment, but turning around and calculating—"I gave three gifts and you only returned once."

Once greed and fear take over the brain, even the most meticulous trading plan can be shattered.

You should enter based on technical analysis, but then you're tempted by profit screenshots on social media, chasing highs becomes the norm; you should control your position size, but you get greedy and go all-in. Watching the K-line scream, trembling when the stop-loss line breaks—this is classic emotional hijacking.

As Keynes famously said, "Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." From another perspective, the real enemy is never the market itself, but the person in the mirror driven by desire and controlled by fear.

So, the first lesson in trading is, rather than studying candlesticks and indicators, learn to make peace with yourself.

That's right, it's a mindset issue. I've been screwed over like that too.

That's right, but I just can't do it, brother, I know and I know. Whenever I see a dip, I get soft, and I throw all my stop-loss plans out the window. Just thinking maybe it will rebound, but the more I lose, the more I lose, and that feeling is truly hopeless. The key is to control your mouth and your heart—that's the hardest part.

The real killer is that greedy heart of yours.

ngl the whole "know vs do" gap hits different when you're analyzing bridge liquidity flows... seen too many solid routing strategies get wrecked by panic selling the second slippage spiked. same pattern every time.

That's right, in the end, everything falls into your own hands.
