When the market is volatile, fingers can't stop—frequent entries and exits, trading fees eat up profits.



When the market trend is upward, it's hard to hold—slight pullbacks cause panic, and sell at the bottom.

Banner: Only able to watch others make a fortune with eyes wide open.

This is the true portrayal of the trading market. Volatile markets test your mindset, and trending markets also test your mindset. Many people don't fail due to technical analysis, but because of decisions on stop-loss and take-profit. It's easy to know when to act, but difficult to hold when you should.

Really, once you get itchy, you're doomed. Saying "stop loss" and "take profit" is easy to say. It's me, the one who got cut at the floor price—hits home. Mindset is truly the most valuable thing in trading; technical skills are actually less important. It's really greed that causes the problem, always thinking you can earn a little more. Holding back is a hundred times harder than taking action; those who have experienced it firsthand understand. I have a lot of say on fees eating up profits—one aggressive move after another.

Damn, I just can't stop my hand. I want to trade whenever I see the candlesticks, but the fees eat up half of the profit. Hold on? Not a chance. As soon as it drops by 2%, I start panicking and cutting. Mindset is really much more difficult than technical skills.

You just can't hold on, no matter how much you say. That's my blood, sweat, and tears history.

This is just me, the impulsive party representative. A day's worth of fees is enough to buy a meal.

Haha, seriously, once the itch hits, there's no saving yourself. Trading fees end up being more than the profits. Stop-profit and stop-loss are easy to talk about, but when the moment comes, you turn into a gambler. I'm the type who gets desperate seeing others make money... Really can't hold positions, it's brutal. Even knowing I need to stick with it, I still end up selling at the lowest point. This mentality issue, man, it's a hundred times harder than learning technical skills.

Damn, this really hits the nail on the head. Once I get the urge, I just can't stop. Really, every time I just can't hold back, then watch the rebound happen right in front of my eyes. Stop-loss and take-profit—it's easy to talk about, but actually doing it is deadly.

Haha, isn't this just my daily routine? The impulsive party definitely represents me. Really, inability to hold is the real problem. Technical analysis, no matter how awesome, is useless. Every time I think I can make a profit, but the result is waving goodbye at the floor price.
