When it comes to consistently making profits in the crypto market, I have seen too many people suffer losses. Retail traders who chase highs and sell lows, relying on luck to gamble, often end up losing everything. And those who can survive and make money in the long run are never relying on luck.

What exactly is the difference? The core points are these: precise technical analysis helps you see the market direction clearly, strict position management allows you to last longer, and strong mental discipline prevents you from being swayed by short-term fluctuations. All three are indispensable.

"Stability" is not passive conservatism, but a sense of calm confidence. You know where your risks are, where your potential rewards lie, where to set stop-losses, and where to take profits. "Winning" is not just about a single breakout, but the inevitable result of gradually building strength step by step.

In the highly volatile crypto market, only by embedding a prudent trading logic into your operational system and using professional skills to solidify the profitability of each trade can you go far and earn steadily.

That's right, but as the old saying goes—talking about strategy on paper is easy, but real gold and silver can't be held up. Mindset and discipline? Ha, I just smile and say nothing. Everyone understands the theory of position management, but the problem is who can control their hands at the moment of losing money. There's nothing wrong with this article; it just lacks the blood and tears lessons from real combat. Three conditions are indispensable, but I think one more is missing—luck. Stop-loss and take-profit sound simple, but actually executing them is hellish. Steady trading logic? Uh... let's stay alive first.

Technical analysis, position management, mindset... all are correct, but I've seen too many people with perfect techniques still get caught by selling during a rebound. Being overly optimistic is the biggest risk. Actually, it's just one point: buy the dip, there's always a lower point waiting. Honestly, the so-called "steady trading system" sounds like a placebo for the bagholders. Accurate analysis? Laughable, the market isn't that rational unless you know the market makers.

There's nothing wrong with that, but to be honest, most people can't do it at all, including myself, who sometimes falters. Technical analysis is discussed every day, but few truly remain unmoved. Position management sounds simple, but in practice, it's a battle with oneself.

You're right, but only a few can really do it. Sticking to stop-loss and take-profit is easier to say than to do. It's about technical analysis and mental management, the threshold isn't low. It feels like saying you need discipline to make money—it's obvious but definitely makes sense.

It's easy to say, but in practice, it's just two words: stop loss. Most people can't even do that.

It's easy to say, but the key is whether you can stick to it and not chase the market. Position management is really difficult. I've seen too many people who know the theory but don't execute it. Technical analysis? Half of the people can't even understand it. Mindset is the biggest test, the true test. There's no wrong in what I said, but who can really do it? Consistent profitability is the result; how many times have you had to endure a margin call before reaching that point? Taking it step by step sounds easy, but you have to survive until that step. Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set, but when the price really drops, you still change them. The key is that there's no system; the randomness is too high. I've heard this theory countless times, but the problem is execution.

That's right, retail investors mostly lose due to their mindset. When it comes to position management, really, most people have no concept at all. Mental resilience? Ha, everyone can make money in a bull market, but the cracks show in a bear market. Steady trading sounds easy, but it's really a torment to do. Technical analysis involves watching K-line charts every day, but in the end, most people are just guessing. Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set, but when the market fluctuates, they manually close positions—it's all in vain.

That's right, retail investors die from chasing highs, not from losing money. It's the same old "mental resilience" talk—why does it feel like I've heard it a hundred times? Actually, there's only one core principle: living is more important than making money. Got it? Steady trading logic? I think 99% of people don't even know what they're doing. The most ruthless traders I've seen never boast about how much they make; they just live quietly. When it comes to technical analysis, no one can be 100% accurate—it's all just虚的. Those who understand where the risks are have long stopped messing around in the crypto space. Human nature, no matter how many theories you have, can't be saved.

Oh no, it's the same old story again. I'm already tired of hearing it... But honestly, I was also caught up in chasing gains and selling losses back then, when will this article be written? Speaking of which, I really haven't managed my position well. I always think about gambling a bit, and then... you know how it is. Stop-loss and take-profit are easy to talk about, but when the market is rising, I forget everything. Am I crazy? If I had listened to advice back then, I wouldn't be regretting now. It's too late to regret, just consider it as paying tuition. Does anyone really have the mental strength to stay calm? Don't boast to me, show me the proof.
