To be honest, not everyone is suited for trading in the crypto market. I think the main issues can be summarized in three points:



First, a lack of sustained intrinsic motivation. The performance of such people is very obvious—enthusiasm comes quickly and fades just as fast, and they can't stick with anything to the end. Not only are they less proactive, but they are also particularly unwilling to step out of their comfort zone. When they want to make a change, they keep delaying, and eventually, they just give up on it.

Second, they lack the ability for deep learning. Third, they especially enjoy questioning and resisting, making it difficult for them to humbly accept new things.

Why do I say this? Let's start with review analysis. Review analysis is actually one of the most efficient training methods for novice traders, without a doubt. On review software, you can freely adjust the speed of the timeline, control how often signals appear, and repeatedly execute the same pattern. This is high-intensity repetition—by accumulating enough training sessions in a short period, you can truly understand what pattern-based trading looks like.

The most important thing is that during review, there is no real money pressure, and emotions won't interfere with your execution. You can verify strategies based purely on data, and the resulting samples will have research value.

But what about real trading? The frequency of signals is much lower than during review. You might, due to psychological cues, enter early or delay entry, and execution deviations can quickly occur. Even more painfully, when the account is floating in loss, many people will cancel stop-loss orders, hold onto losing positions, or add to them, ultimately destroying their entire trading system.

These distractions are everywhere. You must clearly understand: what is the ideal operation process, what resistance do you encounter during actual execution, where do these resistances come from, and how do they affect your results? Only by doing so can you continuously adjust and improve your trading system.

But what is reality? Most people have never deeply thought about these questions. They are just spinning in their old experience frameworks, repeating the same old habits, never reflecting on the reasons behind them. If this continues, they will never break out of the cycle.

It really hits the heart, the gap between backtesting and live trading is truly significant.

You're so right, reviewing and reflecting is the true practice; a single real trade can break the spell. Is it easy to see yourself clearly? Not at all. This statement is about my past self—embarrassing.

Haha, the analysis is spot on. Most people just rush in impulsively, and when they lose money, they start blaming everything else. Honestly, it's still a matter of execution. Lazy to review and reflect, so they deserve to lose. These three points are really hitting home. All the people around me are like this, and I can't even persuade them. Mastering the pattern and repeatedly honing this move is indeed a great strategy, but you need patience, brothers. The real test is when the floating loss causes your mindset to collapse—that's when most people fail, nine out of ten. But on the other hand, some people are just not cut out for trading. Instead of stubbornly fighting it, it's better to recognize your limitations early. I understand the logic behind review software, but few people can really stick with it. Honestly, greed is still the main culprit.

That's right, but too many people are fooling themselves, thinking that reviewing a couple of times can turn their paper gains into real profits.
