Are you getting more exhausted the more you stare at the market? The bearish candles make your heart race out of control, and the bullish candles make you regret selling too early. The more you think about recovering your losses, the more you lose?
My student Awei, a 34-year-old delivery guy, lost 48,000 in 4 days, trembling so much he couldn't click the mouse, repeatedly asking, 'Am I not suited for trading cryptocurrencies?'
Actually, he just treated trading like a life-or-death situation. I used the 'Three-Step Game Mindset' to pull him back to shore:
Step 1: Break down the principal to eliminate the 'all-in mindset'.
He used to have only one thought in mind: 'Recoup everything in one go', but ended up with nothing. I had him split his principal into 6 parts, using at most 1 part each time. Losing 900 doesn't panic him, earning 700 doesn't make him overly excited, and he steadily finds his trading rhythm back.
Step 2: Keep a 'Radar Position' to avoid missing opportunities.
He used to either hold a full position stubbornly or sit on the sidelines waiting for miracles, missing out in bull markets and getting stuck in bear markets. I taught him to keep 1/6 of his position as a 'market radar'. If BTC shows movement, he tests the waters lightly, allowing him to benefit without significant losses.
Step 3: Adjust the position to the 'Micro Pressure Zone'.
I gave him a simple tip: Can you sleep peacefully at night? If you wake up thinking about the market = your position is too heavy, reduce it quickly; if you sleep soundly = your position is just right. Now he usually holds half a position, not panicking when the market drops and not quitting when it rises.
More importantly, he changed his review process: Instead of fixating on 'where he lost', he only asks, 'What did I do right in this trade?'
By repeating the correct actions, his mindset stabilized, and his skills finally paid off.
Last month, Awei turned 48,000 into 97,000 with 'half a position + stop loss'. The market didn't change; what changed was him going from 'being played by the market' to 'leveling up in the market'.
Remember: Don't treat trading like a life-or-death game; treat it like a ranking match. As your rank increases, the principal is just a trophy you casually hold.
Still stuck in the recovery hell? It's not that you can't do it; it's time to change your strategy. #Ripple拟建10亿美元XRP储备 #特朗普家族币 #美SEC和CFTC加密监管合作 $ETH
