#比特币与黄金战争 Retail investors are most prone to these two mistakes in trading: wanting to run as soon as they see a profit, and stubbornly holding on when they are trapped. No matter how the market moves or how the volume performs, their eyes are fixed on that number—whether the account is making money or losing money. And then? When losing money, they often lose everything in one go; the hard-earned profits are quickly wiped out.

Actually, the opposite approach is the way to survive: hold on to your money when you have it, and admit defeat when you are losing.

This is a rhythm I’ve figured out—it's simple to say and indeed simple: set a target of 15% profit, and once it retraces to 10%, I exit; if it continues to rise, I keep holding, letting the profits run. On the flip side, if after buying the price starts to fall, and the loss exceeds 5%, I cut it without hesitation.

A quick calculation makes it clear. If you make 100 trades a year, with a win rate of just 50%, not even half, but you control each take profit at 10 points and stop loss at 5 points, your final gains can reach 300%. Sounds unbelievable? Actually, the difficulty is never in the method itself; the key is whether you can control your greed and panic. Most people get stuck right there.
