I want to share a few heartfelt words with all traders.

First of all, regardless of how the market fluctuates, never actively exit your position. This is not gambler's mentality, but a fundamental rule of market play — the moment you leave the table, you are already out.

Secondly, the biggest test in trading is never technical skills, but mindset. Staying calm allows you to make rational decisions at critical moments, rather than being controlled by panic or greed.

Finally, I want to share a mathematical truth that many people overlook: once your principal suffers a loss, the profit needed to break even increases significantly. For example, traders investing in BTC and ETH should have experienced this — a 20% loss requires a 25% gain to recover, and a 50% loss requires 100% to turn around. This nonlinear relationship determines that you must control risk from the very beginning.

Steady trading starts with protecting your principal.

BTC0,34%

ETH1,25%

That's right, but I think the key is to stay alive and leave the table. --- Losing 50% requires a 100% rebound? That math is torturous; I've experienced it long ago. --- When it comes to mindset, no matter how skilled the technique is, it can't save a mind controlled by greed. --- It sounds easy to stay in the game, but few can remain calm when their account shrinks by half. --- Risk control has been mentioned so many times; every time, it's only remembered during the next market move. People, huh.
