A good strategy can help you make money, but what truly retains the profits is execution. The market is full of opportunities, but most people fail due to lax discipline—being soft when it’s time to cut losses and greedy when it’s time to take profits. No matter how tempting the crypto market is, without a strict trading discipline, the gains will be lost again. Making money is just the first step; being able to manage and persist is the real skill.

That's right, the stop-loss really traps many people. I've seen too many who made several times their profit but then lost it all, just can't bring themselves to close the position.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who should cut losses but is too soft-hearted, watching profits decline and still wanting to buy the dip... And guess what happened? I was back to square one overnight.

Stop-loss is really the hardest part; it's easy to say but extremely greedy to actually do.

discipline is the real alpha, ngl. most people lose money cuz they chase hype instead of executing the playbook.

You're absolutely right, it's just that soft-heartedness, repeatedly feeding profits to the market. Even after setting stop-losses, I still hesitate to execute them, and in the end, I turn around and lose even more badly.

This sentence hits home: it's always about being soft-hearted when it comes to "cutting losses," always thinking I'll wait a bit longer... and then it's gone.

That's so true. I lost it all back this way haha, being too soft is my ultimate weakness.
