Crypto traders are most likely to fall into the trap—not because profits are too slow, but because profits come too quickly.



Have you seen it? Turning three or five thousand yuan into a million in half a year. In the cryptocurrency market, this is hardly news. The truly rare event is this: making money and being able to walk away completely.

An account with thirty thousand yuan in unrealized gains can be wiped out by a single correction. Even more brutal, it can be completely zeroed out. #数字资产动态追踪 This is reality.

It's not that the market is problematic or that the technology is lacking; it's that people keep falling into the same trap—the hand that can't stop.

Many people interpret rolling positions as what? Placing orders every day, constantly adding to positions. In fact, the only core principle that can beat the market with rolling positions is: if you're not confident, don't move; during other times, stay completely out of the market and wait.

Why do the most devastating losses often come in three ways:

1. Forcing trades without a trend—this is the stupidest.

2. Making a little profit and then wildly increasing positions—this shows a blown mindset.

3. Holding on tightly after losses and refusing to cut losses—this is basically gambling with your life.

On the other hand, those whose accounts are growing thicker, you'll find they are all very disciplined. Truly disciplined.

My own method is very straightforward, with just three rules:

**Rule 1: After the first profitable trade, protect the principal**

If the first trade is profitable, immediately withdraw the original capital. The rest? Use only the profits to trade. The mindset is completely different.

**Rule 2: The more you earn, the more cautious you should be**

Once unrealized gains are in place, quickly set stop-losses. Don't chase the top, but also don't let the gains slip away again.

**Rule 3: Only ride the explosive trend**

Don't compare who has more trades or higher frequency. The comparison is about certainty. Before seeing the trend clearly, better to stay idle than to move blindly.

Remember this: the crypto market has never been about who earns faster, but about who can hold on after earning. Knowing when to wait, when to take profits, and most importantly, when to stop—that's the way to survive long-term.

Unstoppable hands are truly a terminal illness; I've seen too many people go from overnight riches to overnight bankruptcy. --- That's right, preserving the principal is the key; otherwise, no matter how much you earn, it's all in vain. --- Self-control is really about restraint; that's why some people's accounts grow thicker and thicker, while others lose everything. --- Doing things without a trend is indeed the stupidest; I've seen many people placing random orders every day. --- The mentality of doubling down after earning a little really needs to be corrected; this is suicidal trading. --- The same old saying applies: being able to stop is true skill; it's not about who earns quickly winning. --- A floating profit of 300,000 disappears with just one correction; hearing this often makes it less surprising. --- It's smartest to only eat during trend explosions; other times, it's much more comfortable to be idle. --- Knowing about stop-loss is simple; executing it is difficult. Most people get stuck here. --- Rolling positions doesn't mean placing orders every day; true rolling is about waiting.

Hey, you're absolutely right. It's that feeling where making quick profits actually makes it easier to lose everything in the end.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but execution is too difficult. After watching this kind of analysis countless times, only a few truly understand it.

That's right, but the problem is that this logic is too difficult to implement. I've seen too many people who know it but can't do it.
