#ETH走势分析 What is trading really about?



Many people enter the market with the same illusion—they think they've found the secret to wealth. I was the same. It was only after being taught lesson after lesson by the market that I realized: this is not a get-rich-quick game at all, but an endless journey of self-discipline.

Winners? There are no permanent ones. The ones who survive are those who learn to challenge themselves.

The lessons the market has taught me over the years go far beyond candlestick charts and indicator formulas. It has shown me how fragile human nature can be, taught me how ruthless risk really is, and made me understand that discipline is the only thing you can truly rely on. I’m not writing this to act like some guru, just to share the real feelings of an ordinary trader—the market is always fair. It doesn’t punish you, it just reminds you over and over until you truly understand.

📍 Stop trying to predict, first manage your current positions.
People who guess price movements every day either end up wiped out or embarrassed. Trading is not fortune telling; it’s a test of execution. You can’t predict if your next trade will be a win or a loss, but what you can do is follow your rules and let probability handle the rest.

📍 Hold onto good trades, don’t drag out the bad ones.
Who doesn’t want to lock in profits on every trade at the beginning? But the harsh truth is: you need to learn to accept losses before you can actually make money. Losses aren’t scary, but stubbornly holding onto them is deadly. Profits don’t come from frequent in-and-out trades, but from grabbing a few right trades and holding on tight.

📍 Truly skilled people lead lives so boring it’s unbelievable.
Those who make consistent profits are almost frighteningly dull in their routines. Their rules never change, they execute relentlessly, and their emotions never run wild—they don’t get cocky when they win, nor panic when they lose. They’re not geniuses, just loyal enforcers of discipline.

📍 This is a marathon—surviving is a thousand times more important than running fast.
You don’t have to be the fastest, but you have to outlast the rest. Those who get liquidated aren’t stupid, they just didn’t last until the end. Build solid risk control, keep your drawdowns low, and make sure you’re always at the table—time is the most powerful weapon for compounding.

One last honest word:
The essence of trading is constantly refining yourself.
The market won’t give you an extra cent because you worked hard, nor will it give you special treatment because you did well. It never changes—the only thing that can change is you.

Making money isn’t about how good your skills are, it’s about how deep your understanding goes; it’s not about fancy methods, but about how ruthless you are in your execution.
If you truly understand this, you won’t need anyone telling you what to do.

That's right, discipline really is the only way out. --- Here we go again with the same talk. I just want to ask, how many people can actually do it? --- I strongly agree with the first half, but it still feels like empty talk. How could the market possibly be that fair? --- The part about holding onto good trades really hits home. Every time, I take profits too early, only to realize I missed out on the big gains. --- Honestly, out of ten people reading this article, nine will still end up getting liquidated—including me. --- That part about being bored out of your mind is so true. The people who make big money really are all super boring. --- Risk control sounds simple, but there are so few who actually do it well. I'm a living example of what not to do. --- That's why most people can't make money—because they just can't listen.

That's right, it's all about self-discipline—there aren't that many shortcuts.

Everything you said is right, but it's just impossible to execute, haha. All the ones who go bankrupt understand the theory. Discipline is something that's easy to talk about but damn hard to actually do. I just want to know how to actually hold; every time I make ten percent profit, I just want to cash out. This is the real truth—I'm not pretending, and I truly respect this one point.

From a technical perspective, this article's discussion on risk management indeed touches on the core of behavioral finance—according to Kahneman's prospect theory, retail investors' loss aversion is precisely the main reason for frequent stop-losses. Data shows that about 73% of failed traders are liquidated due to emotional fluctuations.

No matter how right the words are, it’s useless; you only truly understand after suffering a loss.

Absolutely right, discipline is truly the only moat; everything else is just an illusion. --- After all these years of motivational talk, it's still execution that gets me in the end—so true. --- Surviving the longest is what makes you a winner. That really hits home. People who get liquidated are always the ones chasing quick gains. --- Damn, I used to predict price movements every day and ended up confusing myself. Now I strictly follow my rules, and the difference is huge. --- The worst are those who start getting cocky after making a bit of money, then blow up on their next trade. Seen it way too many times. --- People with good risk control are always boring. I actually like being "boring"—it's so much better than staring at the screen all day and getting liquidated. --- Mindset really determines everything. Some people have great technical skills but still go nowhere because their thinking is off. --- This article doesn't have that toxic motivational vibe—instead, it lays out the harsh reality really well. Not bad. --- Holding onto good trades and cutting the bad ones quickly sounds simple, but actually doing it is brutal. --- The power of compounding is truly scary, but only if you last long enough. Most people never make it that far.
