There has never been a secret sauce for extracting only profits from the market. If anything, losing your entire capital is far more likely than becoming profitable, especially in the world of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Market data consistently shows that 7 out of 10 traders lose.

So, profitability is not about money. It is about behavior.
The more chaotic the mind, the higher the likelihood of poor decision making, and in trading, poor decisions compound quickly.
One losing trade often sets off a sequence of additional losses. Ego gets involved. Dopamine takes over. The focus shifts from execution to recovery.
To reclaim what has already been lost, impatient traders frequently open new positions using excessive leverage and distorted risk-to-reward ratios, and the market is highly efficient at punishing this behavior.
It is brutal and indifferent, with the capacity to absorb every bit of margin you feed it. It does not matter how that margin was acquired. Through savings, salary, or borrowed funds. Provoking the market has only one outcome.
Liquidation.
Market Psychology: Have you ever felt as though every trade you entered moved against you?
Most traders have even I do. Consider the following scenarios.

Scenario One: You notice a token rallying and enter a 20x leveraged long. Almost immediately, the price reverses. Red candles follow one after another. The position drops 15%. Brutal.
Scenario Two: You see the same rally but conclude the market cap is already too high to justify further upside. You enter a 20x short. As soon as the position opens, the price surges 10%. Brutal.

Scenario Three: A token appears oversold. Its market cap is approximately $4M. You believe this presents an opportunity to be early. You enter a long position. Price drops further. Brutal.

Scenario Four: You have learned from previous mistakes. You are more cautious now. Better informed. You notice a meme token trading near $3M market cap and gaining traction. You dismiss it, assuming it will fade like most others.
The next day, it trades near $10M. You remain on the sidelines. By evening, it reaches $19M. Regret begins to surface, but you convince yourself the move is already extended and walk away. The following day, it surpasses $37M.
At this point, doubt sets in. You begin to reconsider. Perhaps this is actually a good project.
You finally BUY.
By the end of the day, your position is up 12%. Confidence builds. You trust the trade. You do not set a stop-loss. The next morning, your holdings are down 70%. Brutal.
The Illusion of Control :
There is a common belief that the more attention and thought you give something, the more likely it is to succeed. In financial markets, this belief rarely holds.
Markets do not respond to intent. They move independently of expectation. While outcomes remain uncertain, what is controllable is risk exposure, position sizing, and execution discipline.
Everything else is secondary.

The Difference Between Winners and Losers:
Winners are not distinguished by superior predictions. They are distinguished by process.
They position themselves early, before trends become obvious.

They prioritize capital preservation over aggressive returns.

They understand the difference between a calculated loss and a failure.

They do not follow the crowd; they anticipate it.

They operate within clearly defined rules and respect invalidation.
What is lost is accepted. What lies ahead is approached without emotional residue.
They understand risk-to-reward dynamics.

They invest time in research before entering positions.

They study tokenomics, project goals, team credibility, partnerships, and incentives.

They do not trade emotionally or impulsively.
On the other hand Losers do the opposite.

What is being profitable?
If you ask me, I'd say. " If you add $100 to your wallet in the morning, and after trading all day, even if you managed to gain $0.1, you are a profitable trader on day one.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

Pretty understandable that you lost a trade and shared it on @Binance Square Official so others can learn, and avoid the mistakes you made, now random dudes are commenting on your post,
"Hey, I can help you."
"Join Blah Blah trading group on Telegram."
"Share your WhatsApp number, and I'll help you recover the lost money."

Most likely, they know you have the money, and all they want is your money. No one in crypto will help you recover lost money, because everyone knows no one can predict the future.
What's gonna happen after you contact someone privately? Scammers will never ask you for a seed phrase or account access because most of the Web3 guys are well-informed and know this can become a major problem, and you can lose all of their assets.

So scammers use these common tactics to lure you in, and you become so desperate to recover lost money that you fall into their trap so easily without noticing.

Scammers will show you screenshots of fake profits, stating they made good money while you lost everything. This is the most common tactic to gain your trust, and after you become familiar with them, they'll ask you for profit sharing scheme.
Profit Sharing Scheme: Most likely, scammers will ask you to send them some USDT. Next time, they will show you fake screenshots of winning trades and send you the pre-decided share with some profit. Now the trust is gained.
Next, they'll ask for a bigger amount and promise a bigger return. You have full trust in these guys since they already split profits with you from the previous trade. You send more USDT without a second thought.
After receiving the amount, they'll either say "USDT didn't arrive in their wallet or completely vanish by blocking you or deleting their accounts." In crypto, once sent, there's no way to recover it.

Fake Telegram groups: Scammers will ask you to join a pump-and-dump Telegram group, where they share a low market cap token with significantly less activity, where thousands of people like you are gathered in the hope of recovering their lost money.
Once you get in, and they are all set up, they start to accumulate a low market cap token, and once aped, they set a take profit order above a certain price point. After their accumulation, they build hype and share a time when the pump will happen. On time, they openly share the trading pair in the Telegram group, where everyone is waiting to ape in early.
Once shared, users start to rush in to buy early and exit at high prices. It only takes 30-40 seconds, and the token is up by thousands of percent. By this time, their TP order is already filled, and the token starts to plummet.
Falling to absolute zero within seconds, and everyone loses their money instead of making some, except the owner of the group.
The cycle keeps repeating one after another token, until you realise it's a scam, and you lost more than you made.

Stop responding to guys who ask you to recover your lost money. Trust nobody but your knowledge and research in crypto.
