Recent key market closing positions have sparked quite a bit of discussion. In every such market move, both bears and bulls are re-evaluating their positions. Some successfully bottom fish, while others repeatedly get caught on the wrong side.



But regardless of how the market unfolds, the traders who truly survive are doing the same thing: asking themselves three questions before placing an order. If I make a mistake, what is the maximum loss I can accept? What profit do I expect to make? Is the risk-reward ratio of this trade worth taking?

Market liquidity is constantly changing, and the volatility patterns of mainstream assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin vary, but the underlying logic of trading remains the same — you can never bet on "certainty" because it simply doesn't exist. The market only provides probabilities.

True experts are never the ones with the most accurate predictions, but those who understand their calculations best. They know how to precisely assess risk in each trade and replace fantasies with probabilistic thinking, which is essential for long-term survival amid the fluctuations of the crypto market.

Risk-reward ratio is easy to talk about but really hard to implement. I am the kind of person who forgets to stop-loss as soon as I see the market. That's right, but the market will always find your weakness. What should I do? I've heard this logic a hundred times, but the real question is, how many can truly stick to it? Calculating the numbers clearly doesn't help. When emotions take over, everything is useless. FOMO is the real killer.

That's right, but I think most people can't do it at all, including myself sometimes. When the market moves, I get itchy and jump in without even calculating the risk-reward ratio first. Regret is always something that happens afterward.

That's right, the risk-reward ratio is truly a matter of life and death. I used to ignore this, and as a result, I kept getting beaten down by the market. Now I've learned my lesson and I make sure to calculate it clearly before taking action.

Basically, it's about risk management, but very few people actually implement it effectively. --- Calculating clearly is indeed more valuable than just making accurate predictions, but unfortunately most people are still stubbornly gambling and toughing it out. --- Everyone understands the theory of risk-reward ratio, but the key is whether you can calmly cut losses when you're truly losing money. --- How are those who successfully bottomed out doing now? Are they still trapped? --- The ones who make big money are never the smartest; they are the ones who execute stop-losses the most ruthlessly. --- Probabilistic thinking sounds simple, but in practice, your mindset collapses—do you understand this principle?
