Recently, the BSC market has been quite turbulent. Instead of blindly running around, it's better to honestly focus on the market charts.

Why do I always fail to make money? Often, it's not bad luck, but our own issues.

**What to do if you can't understand the narrative?** Don't force a story; review your previous analysis records. History repeats itself, but not exactly the same. Opportunities that once appeared often share the same underlying logic. Learning to find patterns in past profitable strategies is much more reliable than blindly guessing the future.

**Always just missing the buy or sell points?** This can't be entirely blamed on the market. Set your own rules, follow them, and if you violate them, record why. Repeating this process will help you gradually understand your own temperament. Half of trading is skill, and the other half is understanding yourself.

**Always a step behind on information?** Joining a reliable analysis group can definitely help, but the prerequisite is learning to filter—not all "big V" accounts are worth following. Find analysis sources with clear logic and explanations for their reasoning; they are a hundred times better than blindly following trends.

**The last and most painful question: Are you a genius?** If the answer is no, don't expect to reach the top in one step. No successful trader got there through brute force. Learning to walk before you run sounds reasonable, but in reality, most people haven't even learned to walk. Start from the basics, step by step—that's the way to survive until the end.

Speaking honestly, watching the market closely is really more effective than chasing hot trends. Not having your own rules is the root cause of losing money. Reviewing past trades is truly useful; analyzing previous orders can teach you a lot. Following big influencers blindly is not as good as thinking things through yourself. If your fundamentals are not solid, no matter how hard you try, it’s all in vain.

That's right, blindly chasing the trend is the quickest way to lose, you still need to have your own trading discipline.

That's right, watching the market is a basic skill, but the real challenge is not to lose your composure. The key is to review your trades; otherwise, you'll just step into the same pits again and again. I really dislike those big influencers who follow the trend; they can't even explain their logic clearly but still call for trades. No one is a genius; it's all about developing a feel step by step. BSC's recent situation indeed makes people uncomfortable, but that discomfort just shows it's time to change strategies. The fundamental reason for not making money is having no personal rules, relying solely on feelings and making random moves. This article hits the nail on the head; many people haven't learned to walk before trying to run a marathon.

At the end of the day, you still need to hold back, don't follow the trend and make reckless moves, really.

It should be pointed out that the logical framework of this article essentially reiterates a fallacy that has been disproven by countless empirical studies—that trading failures stem from psychology rather than market structure. On-chain data shows that the fundamental reason for retail losses is precisely information asymmetry and liquidity traps, rather than the so-called "lack of self-awareness." But on the other hand, the phrase "start from the basics, step by step" really resonated with me. Isn't this what Satoshi Nakamoto was trying to convey in the 2008 white paper— that any great system originates from the simplest mathematical principles, rather than speculative illusions?

No matter how nicely you say it, it’s useless; the key is to understand it yourself. I’ve tried that routine of watching the market before, and it still resulted in losses. Historical review? Uh... I’ve already deleted my trading records. Rules are something, but I’ve only followed them a few times seriously, haha. Listening to big V’s advice is fine, but in the end, it’s still your own money at stake. Not a genius, just a pure gambler’s mentality. Wait, are you trying to persuade me to quit gambling? But on the other hand, I do feel a bit tired.

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people can actually do it? Most people forget after reading and still chase highs and sell lows next time.
