#数字资产市场动态 Over the past ten years of trading, I've seen too many people get stuck on the "feelings vs. technology" debate.

But honestly? Both are traps. Those who truly survive rely on embedding trading rules deep into their bones. $ZBT

**Why do feel-based traders fail?**

It's not just one margin call and you're done, but endless cycles of tinkering.

People who trade based on feelings are like marionettes—shaking at every candlestick flicker, changing plans instantly. They see the right direction but get scared off by some volatility, ending up not even covering transaction fees, with their accounts worn down by poor mental state.

**Where do technical traders get stuck?**

No matter how beautiful their indicators are, one sudden spike can wipe them out. The most frustrating part is: they get the direction right, but lose their position. This kind of "technical misfire" directly shatters your psychological defenses, trapping you in a vicious cycle of "revenge trading."

**The only way out: build a trading system that allows you to sleep peacefully**

Rules must be stronger than feelings. Set your stop-loss before entering, exit immediately if the price breaks that level, and stop obsessing over "just one more look."

Position sizing determines life or death. Keep each trade within 10% of your total capital so that no matter how crazy the market gets, it won't shake you.

You have to admit, there is a ceiling to technical analysis. Indicators are essentially probability tools; what truly drives price surges are market consensus and those sudden black swan events.

The cruelest part of trading contracts is: it doesn't need to kill you instantly. It can slowly bleed you dry, waiting for you to make mistakes.

If you're always hesitating, anxious, and trading more and more exhausted, it means you haven't yet found a trading logic that matches your rhythm.

Instead of obsessing over feelings or technology, think clearly about "how not to collapse."

A truly mature trader isn't emotionless, but uses rules to lock down their emotions. When you learn to accept small losses, stick to your plan, and trade with positions you can truly afford, the market will gradually become more friendly to you.

Basically, it's a lack of discipline, and even if you become good at reading K-lines, it's useless.

In the end, it's just one sentence: living is the true winner, everything else is虚的. --- I've seen both the emotional and technical camps explode, but in the end, they all end up dead. The key is whether there are rules; without rules, everything is useless. --- 10% stop-loss really has saved my life. That feeling of being repeatedly tortured by the market... I understand it too well. --- Revenge trading is the real killer. Once you're trapped, you can't get out. That's how I wiped out half of my principal. --- In front of black swan events, indicators are just a joke. No matter how many indicators you have, they can't prevent the unpredictable. --- Sleep quality is the only standard to judge the quality of a trading system. This statement is spot on. --- The issue isn't whether it's feelings or technical skills; it's whether you're willing to stick to your plan. This tests human nature. --- I've seen too many people lose their entire accounts in "one more look." It's really just a matter of that one second.

That hits too close to home. It feels like the "trendsetters" indeed die the fastest, but the technical folks aren't doing much better either.

That was a harsh statement, I feel like it hit a nerve. --- I’ve noted the 10% position rule, really need to be disciplined. --- Another round of the carousel, feels like both the fundamental and technical camps are dead, in the end, it still comes down to mindset. --- Black swan events can’t be prevented, only betting on not being so unlucky. --- The phrase "slowly bleeding out" is a bit extreme, but that’s how it is. --- I just want to ask, when can I truly sleep peacefully? Right now I still have to watch the market in the middle of the night. --- Rules lock in emotions, sounds simple but actually doing it is really tough. --- Another article titled "You Need to Change Yourself," but changing anyone is difficult. --- The 10% position control rule has been said so many times, but it’s impossible to follow through. --- Contracts are just a psychological game; technical analysis is just a cover.

Damn, you hit the nail on the head. The Feeling Tribe is just shooting itself in the foot. The Feeling Tribe is just shooting itself in the foot, there's nothing more to say. This 10% position size is a really bloody lesson. If I had done this earlier, I wouldn't have gone bankrupt so many times. Rehashing this over and over, this really describes me—constantly bouncing between feelings and indicators. Wow, this guy pointed out all my pain points, it's quite hitting home. Rules > feelings. This phrase needs to be engraved in my mind; it's so true. Once I pierced through all the indicators with a single shot, just thinking about it makes me angry. Not crashing is the first lesson in trading. Why didn't I realize this earlier? Position management is indeed a life-and-death line. I think I finally understand this. Basically, you need to have your own rhythm; don't always be led around by the market.

actually, this whole "rules over feelings" framing... it's just another trust assumption, right? like you're replacing one black box (your emotions) with another (your "system"). neither one gives you actual security guarantees.

It's quite sobering; it feels like both the hype and technical factions are dying at their own hands. Ultimately, it's discipline that keeps us alive.
