Trading in the crypto world, I realize that the biggest bottleneck isn't technical indicators, but mindset.
Many people enter positions with expectations already in mind—hoping for a price surge when going long, or expecting a drop when going short. Persisting through losses until the end, they either bleed out or get liquidated directly. This kind of stubbornness is often the root of losses.
Staying rational is indeed difficult, especially when watching the candlestick charts fluctuate. But the more challenging it is, the more you need to remind yourself: don't let emotions take over. Accumulating long-term trading gains relies heavily on this.
My summarized approach is—enter positions with a clear mind, and wait for confirmation signals from indicators before acting decisively. Coupled with scientific capital management, this forms a simple yet effective trading framework. It sounds easy, but few people stick to it. Perhaps this is the true nature of trading.

That's right, mindset is indeed the Achilles' heel for most people. I've also fallen into that trap.
It's common to see accounts liquidated from holding too long or panic selling; it's truly being controlled by emotions.
Before opening a position, clear your mind; once the signal appears, cut the position. I agree with this logic—execution is the key differentiator.
Money management is the most easily overlooked aspect, but also the most lifesaving.

It sounds good, but I’ve long understood that mindset is the key. The problem is, who can execute it without failing...

You're right, mindset is indeed the biggest enemy... I have been ruined countless times by my own obsession, and only now am I slowly realizing it.

That's right. Mindset can really mess with people. I've seen too many newbies controlled by their emotions.

It sounds nice; anyone can talk about the theory of mindset management, but how many can truly withstand the fluctuations?
