In the crypto market, those who trade contracts have probably experienced this feeling — staring at K-line charts every day, with gains and losses just numbers, no real sense of achievement, and frustration when losing. Over time, trading becomes a mechanical repetition. Making money itself loses its appeal, but you just can't stop. This is the dilemma many people fall into.

To put it simply, contract trading is essentially a combination of high pressure and repetitive tasks. Every order tests your psychological resilience, and each review involves repeating similar analytical logic. Over time, it becomes hard to find that sense of "long-term value." This isn't a matter of trading skill, but systemic fatigue.

If you want to break this cycle, there are a few approaches you can try. First, dive deep into the underlying technology of a project — not for short-term trading, but to truly understand what problems it solves. This can add a layer of "rational reflection" to your trading. Second, organize your trading logic and review insights into notes, even if only for yourself. The process itself can bring a different sense of achievement.

Another thing is to leave space outside of trading. Occasionally put down your contracts, meet friends, exercise, and slow down the rhythm. The crypto market is competitive, but life shouldn't be only about this. How about you? Have you found your own balance point?
