Many people believe that trading cryptocurrencies depends on luck and market trends. In fact, what truly determines whether you make a profit or a loss is often not the market direction judgment, but your self-discipline in operation. The crypto market indeed offers opportunities, but the vast majority of loss stories stem from chaotic operations and lack of planning.



The sideways consolidation phase tests patience the most. At this time, do not be tempted to chase rallies or sell-offs; instead, observe quietly and accumulate strength for the next trend. When the market forms a clear upward or downward trend, that is the real time to act—entering too early carries high risk, so wait until signals are clear before participating; the win rate will be higher. Positions like $TRX and $AVNT, which are hot topics, should not be held long-term. Once the hype fades, prices tend to plunge, so short-term traders must learn to switch positions quickly.

Once a trend surges and volume supports it, you should learn to control the desire for frequent trading. The core of riding the trend is not to move recklessly. Before each trade, ask yourself three questions: Why buy? When to sell? What to do if it incurs a loss? Invest funds in batches, and avoid putting all your money in at once.

When a volume-driven bullish candlestick appears, regardless of the price, consider taking profits seriously. Increased volume indicates that market disagreement may be widening, and risks are rising. Protecting gains at this point is wiser than chasing larger gains. Frequent trading is a breeding ground for losses, while calm and disciplined investors are more likely to succeed in the end. Every trade should be steady and well-planned. Long-term adherence to these operational principles will truly lead to wealth accumulation. Discipline is not a restriction but the key to achieving financial freedom.

That's right, it's just that I don't want to admit I'm bad at this, and I insist on blaming luck. I'm the type that frequently trades, I'm exhausted. Profit-taking is my weakest point; I always want to wait longer for it to rise more. The words "discipline" sound simple, but actually practicing it is much harder than it seems. I've already suffered too many losses from all-in bets. Once popular coins cool down, they become knives; $AVNT is very awkward right now. Controlling desires is even harder than watching the market trends, everyone.

That's right, I am part of the group that got caught because of impatience. Discipline is really the hardest part, even more difficult than predicting the market trend. Sideways trading is the biggest test; I often can't resist chasing, and then I get trapped.

To be honest, most people lose money because of careless mistakes, nothing else.

ngl this discipline argument hits different when you actually model the math... most retail just don't account for slippage cascades and MEV extraction eating their alpha on every entry. the real asymmetric returns come from recognizing inefficiency vectors, not timing dips like some degenerate gambler. TRX bagholders specifically learning this the hard way rn lmao

To be honest, I only lost because I lacked discipline. Now I understand.

You're absolutely right, discipline is the true moat. I never thought about these things when I went all-in on $TRX before.
