#数字资产动态追踪 The biggest enemy of trading is actually your own greed
A few days ago, I looked at a friend's order: he opened a long position with others, initially setting the take-profit at 945000. Later, as the market went up, he changed his mind and moved the take-profit up to 95000. And the result—he's still holding onto that order, watching it shrink right before his eyes. 😅
My approach was exactly the opposite. I set the take-profit at 94500 before entering the trade and didn't move it at all afterward, nor did I watch the market. Instead, I managed to exit the market completely during this wave of price movement, walking away unscathed. $BTC's volatility taught me a profound lesson: when you think "it might go up a little more," that's often when the risk is highest.
After setting a trading plan, execution is the key to victory or defeat. Psychological discipline is more effective than any technical analysis.

Friends, this is a real-life cautionary tale. Greed can really make you give back the money you've earned.

Friend, you really got greedy this time. You changed your plan as the market was rising, and ended up getting trapped. Serves you right.

Really, the moment you become greedy, you've already lost

That's the difference. Take profit should be nailed down from the start; changing your mind is just asking for trouble.
