#美联储回购协议计划 Turning Losses into Wins: The Secret to Making Money I’ve Summed Up



Many people enter the crypto world with the first thought of doubling their investment quickly. They want to make a few thousand dollars within days of entering, but often end up losing everything after a market fluctuation.

Actually, the core issue isn’t trading skills; it’s ultimately about mindset control.

Last year, I saw a novice who bought $ETH and completely followed their feelings—selling after a small gain, panicking and adding to their position after a dip. After just a few days of this, their account was down by over $100. At that moment, they realized they hadn’t understood the game rules of the market at all.

My advice to them was simple: Stop first. Staying calm isn’t weakness; it’s the basic skill to survive.

Then, we outlined a three-layer fund allocation structure:

- Short-term trading focusing on $BTC, closing positions decisively once a 2% gain is reached—don’t be greedy;
- Swing trading entering only at support levels, and exiting without hesitation on rebounds;
- Holding the core position steady, not moving it—this provides psychological comfort and strategic stability.

Initially, they still wanted to trade those volatile small coins. I told them directly: “Frequent trading in sideways markets will likely cause losses on both sides.” They took it to heart.

About a week later, $BTC suddenly surged. Following their plan, they sold when it was time, not only recovering previous losses but also making a small profit. This small victory helped them find their rhythm.

Then, they set two strict rules for themselves, essentially non-negotiable:

- Limit single trade losses to within 1%, with immediate stop-loss if the judgment is wrong—no exceptions;
- When profits approach 3%, take half off the table, and reassess the rest.

Once, after a stop-loss, the market continued to plunge the next day. Watching the declining candles, they suddenly understood a key principle: executing rules is far more important than predicting correctly. You can’t gamble with luck.

A year later, their small account doubled in size.

This isn’t luck, nor innate talent. It’s the result of sticking to discipline, waiting for the right moment, and resisting the temptation of quick riches. They often say: “The secret to making money is restraint. Restrain impulses, greed, and the illusion of quick wealth.” Maybe this is the truth that the longest-standing people in the crypto world understand.

That's a very insightful point, but most people simply can't hear it.

Basically, it's about mindset. Don't think about getting rich overnight; those are just stories.

Honestly, the word "restraint" hits me hard. I used to be the kind of person who would run when it went up a little and buy more when it dipped a little. Looking back now, I really was quite embarrassing.

Honestly, it sounds like just empty talk, but it really hit home. I am the kind of person who loses on both sides after a week of messing around, and only now am I slowly realizing how ruthless stop-losses can be.

That's right, restraint is truly the most scarce quality in the crypto world, more valuable than any technical analysis.
