Overcome FOMO Anxiety and Regain Calmness in Trading
The crypto market is the easiest place to lose your mindset. Chasing hot trends, worrying about missing out, every candlestick can stir your nerves, and your emotions fluctuate wildly with the market.
Is there a different way to play? Of course.
The key is to change your perspective—don't be a chaser, be a strategist.
Many people's problem is focusing too much on short-term fluctuations. They regret when Meme coins surge, panic when a project crashes. This trading mentality is like wandering in a maze, never finding the exit. The truly calm approach is based on your understanding of the macro environment, then strategically allocating assets.
For example, instead of researching which coin might pump next second every day, think from a higher dimension—macro factors like Federal Reserve policies, global liquidity trends, inflation cycles, etc. These are the real drivers of the market.
Some people do exactly that. They choose a mix of assets representing different attributes, such as growth assets and defensive assets. This arrangement allows participation in market opportunities while reducing the psychological pressure of betting on a single asset. You don't need to watch the market every day, nor worry about chasing a hot coin, because your allocation already covers different market scenarios.
This is the "calm" approach. It's not about betting on which project will multiply ten or a hundred times, but about using macro thinking to manage your overall portfolio, letting time and logic be your allies. Once your mindset stabilizes, anxiety naturally dissipates.

Sounds good, but isn't it still necessary to spend time studying macroeconomics? What should lazy people who don't want to think do?

Well said, but in practice, you still need to watch the market.
It's really a mindset game; who can truly avoid watching the charts?
No matter how balanced the portfolio is, it can't prevent panic during a sharp decline.
Calm? I only stay calm when my account is growing.
This theory might be useful for large funds, but what about retail investors?
It sounds like a risk management class, but I still chase hot topics.
Macro thinking sounds sophisticated, but those making money are all gambling.
I don't deny this approach, but the execution is a bit lacking.
Wait, isn't this asset allocation? Old wine in a new bottle.
People who stick to this method are probably just eating dust now.
I agree, but the market won't wait for you to figure things out.

Sounds good, but you still need to have capital to do it.

That's right, chasing hot topics every day is just asking for trouble.
---
The macro layout is indeed attractive, but execution is difficult, and it's still easy to be tempted by the market.
---
I just want to ask, how many people can truly avoid watching the market? It's easy to say but really hard to do.
---
The configuration combination sounds great, but when we lose, we all lose together, which is really uncomfortable.
---
Stop it, don't persuade me anymore. I just can't shake the habit of chasing hot topics.
---
Mindset isn't something you can calm just by wanting to; you still need to endure enough cycles of bullish and bearish transitions.
---
The calm approach is correct, but the key is to have a strong enough psychological foundation.
---
Isn't this just saying that you should be an investor, not a gambler? It's a cliché.

Having tried this method, the results are indeed much better than chasing coins every day.

It sounds good, but how many people can really stick to not watching the market? I, for one, can't do it.
