$BTC, $ETH, how many people have you seen messing around with these two coins? Contracts, spot trading, futures—played all of them. Read technical books, paid "tuition," but your account still jumps with the market, and your emotions fluctuate accordingly.

Have you ever thought that the problem might not be in the technology at all?

Many people keep stumbling in the same pit, losing and then vomiting it back, only to realize—the core reason is only one: never truly being "thorough."

This realization might make you uncomfortable. But it is precisely this discomfort that often marks the starting point of breakthrough.

**Losses are actually doomed from the start**

Don’t always blame poor technology or imperfect systems. Honestly, for many, their ending was written from day one. Rules that want to leave "an opening," systems that adapt on the fly, plans that are overturned by market movements—looks busy, but in reality, it’s just using busyness to cover inner uncertainty.

**What is behind "not being thorough"?**

Ask yourself a few questions: Can you stick to just one set of rules, regardless of profit or loss? Can you choose one trading method and give up other temptations? Even with a "certain" market, can you stay completely still?

In that hesitant moment, the answer will come out. It’s not that you don’t understand; it’s just that you always leave a back door for yourself—trading never allows for dual pursuits.

**The deadly thing is "this time is an exception"**

Carefully review your trading records. Many people don’t die from a major mistake but bleed slowly through countless "this time is an exception." Emotions gradually overshadow rules, from initial unease to habitual behavior, leaving the system as an empty shell, and execution begins to deform. In the end, you personally hollow out your trading foundation.

**"Close enough" is the beginning of losses**

Knowing full well that it’s not a standard signal, yet convincing yourself to "just enter if it’s close enough." Repeated indulgence, hesitation, and impulsiveness become the norm. The market will never give you a break just because it’s "close enough." Long-term luck-driven psychology ultimately reflects in your account.

**Why can’t you be thorough?**

Thoroughness means giving up temptations, admitting your limitations, and enduring boring repetition. But many people’s initial intention when entering the market is to prove their cleverness and seize every opportunity. This motivation is fundamentally at odds with "thoroughness."

**True thoroughness is about holding the boundary**

You don’t need to be the smartest trader, just the most unshakable. One set of logic, one cycle, strictly follow rules—no position before signals appear, execute when signals do, without mixing personal ideas. Stability is always more valuable than "flexibility."

**The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking is resolve**

There are opportunities every day in the crypto market, and many are smart. What is truly scarce is the trader who would rather miss out than take a chance, who would rather stay flat than deform.

This path isn’t easy, but as long as you face the root of the problem and stick to principles, a qualitative change in your account will eventually come.
