Many people lose money, and it’s really not because they can’t read the market.

I know a friend. The year before last, he put all his savings into it. Everyone said he was greedy, wanting to get rich overnight. But I know that year, he’d just been laid off, his child was about to start elementary school, and the rent had gone up three times. He wasn’t trying to get rich—he genuinely had no other choice.

Every time he opened the app, it wasn’t what price trend he was staring at. It was his mortgage, his child’s tuition, and what to do if his parents back home got sick.

If a person is standing at the edge of a cliff, even if there’s only a thin rope in front of them, they’ll scramble to grab it with everything they’ve got.

Of those who got liquidated, how many really didn’t understand risk? They do—more than anyone. But when life pushes you to that point—rent has to be paid, bills have to be settled, and even people who don’t dare take a sick day—how can you expect them to stay calm?

There’s always someone saying, “Stop-loss must be decisive” and “Don’t add leverage,” as if it’s easy. But when the money in your account is your life-saving funds for next month, how could your heart possibly not race? How could you possibly take profits and stop while things are good?

Greed is only superficial. The suffering—now that’s the real thing.

Later, I advised him to stop. He said something I remember to this day: “I know this is a bet, but I don’t have a choice.”

For those who truly lose a lot of money, many aren’t beaten by the market—they lose to life itself. The market goes up and down, and there’s always a day when things come back. But life’s debts chase you every day.

If you also feel that the pressure is so heavy you can’t catch your breath right now, and you want to try one last move to turn things around, listen to my advice: stop first, and stabilize your day-to-day life. Even if it’s slower, even if you earn less—it's still better than standing at the edge of a cliff, forcing yourself to walk the tightrope.
