Watching the market fluctuate up and down, many people's moods also swing accordingly. Honestly, those who manage to grow their accounts are never the ones with the strongest skills, but rather the ones with solid psychological resilience.
You'll find that many people haven't missed opportunities. The problem is that after making a profit, they give it all back during a retracement. That feeling of your hard-earned profits evaporating in an instant is even more painful than a margin call. I've been there too—getting cocky after a win, holding on during a dip, always hoping the next candle will turn things around.
Later, I summarized a principle: the secret to successful position rolling is actually just one word—.
Wait.
Wait until the trend truly stabilizes. Wait until the rhythm is clear. When you're not confident, do nothing—this is far better than randomly trying to place orders. Beginners are most likely to blow up because they get too eager.
My current approach is very simple: after the first profitable trade, immediately withdraw the principal, and let the remaining profits run. This instantly calms the mind. Lock in gains as soon as they appear to reduce risk, and only follow the trend when the market is moving smoothly; when it doubles, prioritize locking in profits and avoid betting on the market's extremes.
Because I am very clear about one fact: only those who survive have the right to talk about how much they can earn. Most people losing money are not defeated by the market itself, but by impatience, fear, greed, and stubbornness.
Stop believing in overnight riches. Making money quickly is not the key; the key is to hold on. Opportunities are available every day, but if your principal is gone, everything resets to zero. Are you still excited when it rises and panicked when it falls? That’s not a lack of skill; it’s that you haven't found the right rhythm. There are no myths in this circle—only stable judgment, decisive execution, and the patience to sit tight longer than others.

Getting too greedy is really a fatal flaw; this is how I keep paying tuition over and over again.
---
At the end of the day, it's all about mindset. No matter how strong your skills are, a bad mentality is useless.
---
That word "wait" is perfect, but how many people actually do it?
---
The phrase "principal wiped out" hit home; there's really no turning back.
---
I've heard a hundred times that making money quickly isn't important, but when prices rise, I still can't help myself.
---
The dream of getting rich overnight should be awakened; just look at your account to know.
---
Only those who survive deserve to talk about how much they make; this should be engraved in my mind.
---
I'm afraid of rushing and holding on stubbornly out of greed—that's me, every time.
---
I need to try withdrawing the principal; it's better than losing everything.
---
The rhythm was off; it's even more troublesome than poor technical skills.

That's so true, the itch to trade is indeed a powerful weapon.
When you make money, you want to run; when it drops, you want to buy the dip. In the end, you end up missing everything.
I'm now just withdrawing my principal, and I feel much more at ease.
But bro, your line "Only those who survive have the right to talk about how much they make" really needs to be tattooed on.
I've seen too many accounts go from tens of thousands directly to zero, just because of a gambler's mentality.

Yeah, that's right. The itch is truly the killer.
---
Withdrawing principal is a move I also use, and it definitely keeps my mindset much calmer.
---
Fear of rushing and stubbornly holding on... I am the perfect embodiment of these four words, a lesson learned through blood and tears.
---
Saying this word is easy, but actually doing it is really deadly. I’ve never managed to wait.
---
I often skip the step of doubling and locking in profits, and I regret it every time, my guts turn green with regret.
---
Surviving is the only qualification to talk about how much you can earn. This phrase should be written on my account.
---
There are opportunities every day, that’s true, but I just like to gamble on that 0.01% limit.
---
I love the idea that I haven’t found the right rhythm; it sounds better than saying my skills are poor.

Yeah, this really hit home for me. I always mess up like this.
That's right, only by staying alive can you make money. If you're dead, you have nothing.
This summary is excellent. I'm also using the "waiting for the right moment" strategy now, and it has indeed improved a lot.
It's better to hold onto your gains than to chase quick profits. I used to be greedy and tough it out, but I've changed a lot.
Mental resilience is really more important than technical skills. I've seen geniuses collapse because of poor mindset.
The get-rich-quick schemes really should be stopped. It seems some people still believe in them.
Living to see the next opportunity is more important than anything else. The principal is fundamental.
