#美联储降息 $BTC From 200,000 U to 5,000 U in a straight line, this guy's eyes were already a bit hollow when he found me.

I didn’t say anything when I opened the trading record, and I paused for three seconds.

Dozens of trades in a day, and the fees ate up all the profits; whenever the market slightly rose, he dreamed of tenfold returns; when it fell, he stubbornly refused to cut losses, waiting for some miracle to happen. The last wave wiped everything out.

I asked him: "Do you know what you're doing? Trading or gambling with your life?"

Actually, this is the common disease of most people—the three deadly traps for rookies:

**First trap: One-minute monitoring syndrome**

Constantly staring at the candlestick chart, feeling like a day trader expert, but in reality, just paying protection fees to the exchange. The fees can eat up half of your gains, yet you still fantasize about getting rich overnight.

**Second trap: Faithful holding**

Shouting "the bull market is back," but your account has already returned to zero earlier. This kind of self-soothing can make people lose their last bit of rationality.

**Third trap: Going all-in at the sight of a hundredfold "dog coin"**

FOMO is the deadliest. Going all in, only to wake up with single digits. I've heard too many stories like this.

During that period, he was still staring at the screen at 3 a.m., and finally, his mental state completely collapsed. When I asked if he was slaughtered by the market, I said no—he handed the knife to others himself.

I suggested three changes for him.

**Change 1: Only look at 4-hour charts and above**

Remove all short-term cycles, enlarge the perspective. At most three trades a day; if you get itchy, walk away from the keyboard. Signals are signals; ignore noise.

**Change 2: Be aggressive with position sizing, and cut losses quickly**

Enter with no more than 10% of your account (around 500 U). When gains reach 20%, sell half to lock in profits, and protect the rest with a trailing stop. Exit immediately if losing 5%, don’t argue with yourself.

**Change 3: Write discipline into rules**

After two consecutive stop-losses, shut down the platform and stop watching the charts. Stop when emotions rise. Review daily to understand where the losses came from.

Turning the situation around never relies on a single all-in move; it depends on calmness + discipline + consistent daily execution.
