#BinanceABCs In a sharp decline, the differences in trading methods are fully exposed. Independent traders often fall into a passive state—watching $BTC, $ETH, $BNB plunge, either holding on stubbornly to gamble on a rebound or cutting losses in panic. And what about those who follow experienced traders? They’ve already pocketed the profits from this wave of market movement. When the market declines, it’s never about courage; it’s about understanding risk. In the face of the same market conditions, professional teams have strategies, stop-losses, and exit plans, while retail traders often rely on intuition. The volatility of mainstream coins like $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB is the best textbook—many participants, but the profit distribution varies greatly, and the difference is actually quite simple.

BTC0,08%

ETH0,17%

BNB1,09%

Retail investors are just destined to be played for suckers, with no plan and no discipline, when the big dump comes, they panic. --- Copy trading really saved me; every time I make my own trades, it's always chasing the price and cutting losses, now I just follow along with my eyes closed. --- It hits hard; I am that kind of fool who stubbornly holds on even when it hits the limit down. --- Risk management, these four words, retail investors hear them a lot but can’t actually implement them. --- No wonder others make money while I'm cutting losses; it turns out that's the only difference. --- I lost just by not setting a stop loss; I never developed that habit at all. --- Professional teams really have their tricks; retail investors just rely on luck. --- They're promoting copy trading again, but to be fair, I really can't see through the market. --- The day BTC plummeted, I knew I should get out, but I couldn't bear to cut, and now I regret it so much. --- In this wave of the market, there must be a lot of people cutting losses; who told us we had no plan?

You're not wrong; that's how retail investors are. When the market falls, their minds go blank. They either hold on tightly or sell at a loss just before a rebound, which is infuriating. Following the right people can indeed save a lot of trouble, but the prerequisite is to find someone who truly understands, not just someone who advocates. Talking about stop loss is simple, but when it comes to losing money, no one has the plan; this is the reason for the divergence. Professionals are professionals, but the market sometimes just doesn't follow logic. Your "rules" won't save you from unexpected events. The most heartbreaking thing in the crypto world is that with the same Candlestick Chart, some people make a fortune while others go bankrupt. The difference is indeed that significant.

You are absolutely right, retail investors are killed by their own emotions, stubbornly holding on and repeatedly cutting losses. Making money by following the right people is indeed possible, but the key is how to distinguish who is truly capable and who is a scammer. This wave has indeed shown that those with a plan live comfortably, while those relying on feelings are crying. Watching others fill their pockets while you are cutting losses feels absolutely terrible. So now it’s time to learn stop loss, or else another big dump will directly clear the field.

Here we go again with the "copy trading can make money" argument... I swear, I'm the one who's still trapped in a position because of copy trading.

That's correct, but I still think copying trades also carries risks. I'm just worried about following fake experts and ending up losing together.

Really, looking at this wave of decline, you can tell who's gambling and who's playing. I'm still holding onto those follow-up orders. Between holding on and cutting losses, I surprisingly chose the most亏的 one, lol. My team buddies have already cashed out, and I'm still here watching the K-line. Luckily, I didn't go all in. Feeling that trading is really about professionalism—professionals are professionals—while we retail investors are purely relying on luck.

You're so right. I was the one who got liquidated this time. I watched BTC plummet but didn't dare to move, and in the end, I was forced to sell. My mental state really collapsed.
