After spending a year on Binance, compared to early 2025, I've noticed a few changes in my habits.
Change One: I don't check short-term candlesticks anymore.
In the beginning, I was glued to the 5-minute chart, refreshing it every half hour. Now, I only look at the daily chart, occasionally checking the 4-hour. The noise from short-term charts is just too much; it doesn't help and affects my mood.
Change Two: I set price alerts and don't actively check prices.
The app allows me to set price alerts, so I only get notified when it hits a certain level. If I don't get a notification, I don't open the app, which reduces a lot of unnecessary emotional fluctuations.
Change Three: Stop-losses have become a must-do step, no longer an "option."
I used to think that a stop-loss meant admitting defeat, but now I see it as protecting myself. Whenever I open a contract, I always set a stop-loss—no exceptions.
Change Four: I no longer discuss whether to buy a particular coin in groups.
I've found that such discussions are mostly driven by emotions, not rational analysis. I do my own research, make my own judgments, and take responsibility myself.
These aren't profound insights; they're just habits developed after being taught by the market a few times.
This is just a casual note, not advice.
