#美联储重启降息步伐 Does your mindset collapse as soon as the market fluctuates? This is the reality for many traders. Staring at the ups and downs on the candlestick chart, finger hovering over the order button, hesitating—this is when you’re most likely to make decisions you’ll regret.



To put it bluntly, trading based on gut feeling is just gambling on luck. Want to stay grounded? You need to set some ironclad rules for yourself.

Let’s talk about stop-loss first. When the price hits your predetermined line, no matter how reluctant you feel, you have to exit. Hesitate for even a second, and you might lose even more. Then there’s position sizing—don’t go all in; only use a small portion of your total capital each time to test the waters. The principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket is even more relevant in the crypto market. Also, consider your trading hours—don’t stay up at 3 a.m. placing orders when your mind isn’t clear. Set specific trading periods for yourself and only act when your emotions are stable.

Do these rules seem restrictive? Their real purpose is to protect you. No one can predict market ups and downs, but at least they ensure you won’t wipe out your account in a single impulsive move. No matter how tempting the $BTC trend looks, you have to stick to the rules. The same goes for $ETH $BNB .

How many safety lines have you set up in your own trading system?
BTC-0.63%
ETH-1.52%
BNB-0.47%

I broke down watching the market and placing orders at 3 a.m.—this is why my wallet is always bleeding.

Here we go again: stop-loss, position sizing, time management... All correct, but when it's 3 a.m. and you see BTC up 10%, who the hell still remembers the rules?

As someone who watches the market at 3 a.m., I feel deeply offended, but it's true that I should really wake up.

Medical records show that the fatal flaw for most traders is—no stop loss. Placing orders at 3 a.m. when your mind is foggy is the hardest kind of strategy complication to save.

Stop-loss sounds simple, but when you’re actually losing money, you just want to take a gamble—and usually end up getting burned. I can really relate to those 3 a.m. trading sessions. The me who’s wide awake and the me who’s sleep-deprived are like two different people. With this round of Fed rate cuts, it feels like even more people are about to get rekt. How are all the all-in folks doing now? Still alive? No matter how many times you talk about position management, some people just won’t listen—they have to experience a liquidation themselves. You might not make a fortune by sticking to the rules, but at least you’ll survive to see the next round. Those few seconds with your finger hovering over the order button often decide whether you profit or lose.

Me, who impulsively placed an order at 3 a.m., reading this article feels like looking in a mirror, haha.
