This wave of operations really woke me up. The same trading logic, the same order placement method, sitting there with 20,000 USDT and coming out ahead, while I turned around and lost 4,000 USDT— and that's not even the most painful part. Looking back, I realize that my position allocation and risk control are actually not bad at all. What am I lacking? It's that kind of blind reckless mentality.
Frequent chasing of highs, frequent stop-losses, frequent reversing positions— in the end, I only end up hurting myself. I've now figured it out: instead of staring at the screen every day looking for 1-2x opportunities, it's better to hold onto BNB tightly. BNB is just a golden shovel; holding it long-term is definitely the right choice.
So my current plan is to store the remaining BNB I have and stop P'ing. Foolish people may have foolish luck, but maybe this patience is the biggest gain.

Yeah, that's the typical case of itchy hands syndrome. Others hold the same position and make money, but you keep trading frequently, and end up cutting your own losses in the end.

Really, mindset is worth much more than skills. I've also fallen into this trap.

The same market, two people with a difference of 4000U. Basically, it's the cost of being careless.
---
BNB is indeed a good thing. Holding it long-term without worries is better than constantly messing around.
---
Exactly, stop-loss, stop-loss, and keep stopping losses. In the end, I realized I was stopping my principal.
---
I agree with holding onto BNB, but it also depends on individual psychological resilience.
---
The tuition fee of 4000U bought this kind of enlightenment. It was worth it.
---
Frequent reverse trading is really a big trap. I've seen too many people get caught in their own schemes.

The saying "Fools are blessed" is true. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best strategy.

same trade logic, different wallets, different outcomes... insufficient validation of emotional discipline variables, tbh. the real attack vector here isn't market mechanics, it's execution inconsistency masked as strategy. holding bnb sounds statistically improbable until you backtest the noise you've actually eliminated.

Ah, well, basically it's just a mental breakdown. I've been through it too.
It's easy to say but hard to do, and only a few can really hold on.
Holding BNB long-term is indeed fine, but mainly you just have to be patient.

Really, mindset is so important. The same order, someone makes 20,000, and I lose 4,000, just because I kept flipping trades impulsively. Now I hold onto BNB tightly without letting go, and I feel more comfortable.
