Most failing traders do not lose because of poor strategies but because of their attitude towards the market.

How do they play? They bet everything on one card, only think about the next quick profit, and are driven by emotions. Every movement in the chart becomes a drama, every trade an all-or-nothing decision.

How do successful traders think differently? They approach it like managers: risk management comes first, not the return. They work according to defined processes, not gut feelings. And most importantly, they think in years, not hours. That is the real difference between those who persevere and those who eventually give up.

That's so true, mindset can really ruin everything.

At the end of the day, it's all about mindset; too many people gamble with trading mentality. --- All-in on one trade, and you won't survive more than three months; bankruptcy is just a matter of time. --- Risk management is really underestimated; most retail traders simply don't understand. --- Annual thinking vs. hourly thinking—one sentence can determine life or death. --- Greed for speed will be the end of you; I've seen too many people like that. --- Systematic trading sounds simple, but sticking to it is hell. --- Emotional trading has all died at the points where stop-loss should have been placed. --- Managing risk well is half the success, really.

Really, mindset determines everything --- That's right, 90% of people are just too greedy --- Haha, now that's a harsh statement, hitting the nail on the head --- Annual thinking vs hourly thinking, the difference is so big --- Risk management first, I need to engrain this in my mind --- When others are losing money and still struggling with how to make the next trade, that's the difference --- Always going all-in every time, there's definitely no hope in the end --- Emotion management is more critical than choosing coins, right? --- Lessons learned from blood and tears of experienced traders, unfortunately many people can't listen --- Those who never do formulaic trading tend to die the fastest

The truth is that people with a poor mindset lose money the fastest. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but knowing and doing are two different things.
