#数字资产市场洞察 Have you ever experienced moments like this? The money in your account keeps dwindling, and your trades become more frequent—chasing when it's bullish and panicking when it's bearish. You’ve learned about Candlestick Charts, support levels, and resistance levels, yet the market turns and slaps you in the face, causing your account to shrink directly. In the end, you start to doubt yourself: "Am I really fit to survive in this market?"

Not long ago, a friend of mine mentioned this matter, and he seemed quite desperate. His account was reduced to just over 2,000 U due to the fluctuations in altcoin markets. The $BEAT perpetual contract once saw a daily drop of up to 42.41%, which isn't even the most outrageous—after the surge of Labubu coin, it directly fell by 91.66%, and the situation with Er Jiu coin went from doubling to nearly zero, all within just a few days. This type of coin operates like this: it rises quickly and falls just as fast; with one emotional fluctuation, you could end up losing everything.

He is not lacking in technical knowledge, nor has he never learned trading methods; the key is that he cannot control his own heart. When the market rises slightly, he fears missing out on a big opportunity. When it falls, he fears that it will drop even further. By the end of the day, he has lost not only money but also energy and rationality.

He said something to me back then that I still remember: "I feel like I can't hold on much longer."

I didn't hype him up or discuss any profound trading theories. I simply told him one truth: this tiny balance you have right now is not meant for doubling, but to steady your hand.

Many people always think that a strong operation can turn the situation around, but those who truly survive in the market for a long time basically start changing from the step of "slowing down". If the market hasn’t been clarified yet, it’s better not to act. Not every trading day has to have a position—being able to endure being in cash shows that your skills are improving. Reduce your position size; each mistake is just a small setback, not a total account explosion. Gradually transform the rhythm of "losing a part every day" into a stable mode of "earning a bit every few days". Once the rhythm stabilizes, your mindset will naturally change.

A few months later, what this friend felt most deeply was not how much money was made from a particular trade, but rather the habit that was formed - before actually placing an order, they would always ask themselves a question:
