You're not really trading, to be honest, you're just addicted.

Watching the account balance go down, doesn't it feel full of grievances? "I watch the charts for over ten hours every day, why is it still like this?" Hearing this, it really hits home. But the reality is—you're moved by yourself, but you can't move the candlestick chart.

Think back to that recent trade. The market suddenly surged, your heartbeat skyrocketed, afraid of missing out. You rushed into the position, only to start adjusting immediately, palms sweating, wishing you could undo your decision. Can't hold during a rise, stubbornly hold during a fall—does this cycle even count as trading? Honestly, it's just using your phone as a game console, seeking刺激.

There's a saying that hits the core: Emotional trading = gambling; Rule-based trading = investing. That's where the line is drawn.

Observe those who truly make money in the crypto market—there's a common trait—they all seem quite "boring." When they're not watching the charts, they're exercising, living their lives, doing other things. They understand one thing: not every market move concerns you, FOMO will only hurt you.

Starting now, try to become a cold, disciplined execution machine. No trading plan, absolutely no placing orders; no stop-loss set, no entering the market; when emotions flare up, the first reaction is to lock the screen. Drop that emotional drive, and you've already won half the battle. The market rhythm is there every day, opportunities are plentiful, the key is whether you can grasp them with discipline.
