The Secret to Trading Like a Game: Losing is Not Bitter, Winning is Not Illusion – Surviving Through Every Market Season

A fan asked me: "The more I focus on trading, the more I lose, why is that?" I replied: "You are looking at the candles like a heartbeat, considering the position like the blood flow in the game." Those who have been in the market long enough understand: All-in on one order, just one red candle is enough to cause a "complete blackout". Completely empty positions, after three days of losses the market limit-up, by the time one realizes it's too late, the hands and feet are trembling. Only those who hold half positions + reasonable stop-loss can still relax and smile with memes, watching the chart gradually tilt upwards. This is not feng shui, but the mindset of "rank fighting" in the game: Winning doesn't require showing off group photos. Losing shouldn't be blamed on Musk or whales. If liquidated, don't write an essay lamenting. Doubling your account doesn't mean you should rush to declare "financial freedom." In my mind, there is only one thing: "How to win the next battle?" not "Who fed in the last game?". If this mindset were written in code, it would only take 3 lines: Don't go all-in with a single click. All capital = a lottery ticket. The candle shakes = all you can do is pray. And praying does not generate α, only high blood pressure. Don't clear everything with one click. No coins = the market is just like idle chatter. When the bull run happens, it's bewildering; when the bear comes, it's gloating. The result: understanding is zero, balance is zero. The leverage is adjusted to the level of "light sweating". Real test: Night has good news → wake up without cursing, because the position is just right. Sleep peacefully → because holding too little, no interest is seen. Stay awake all night with a pounding heart → because holding too large of a leverage. Personally, I usually hold 40%-60% of my position: A 10% drop hurts but I won't smash my keyboard. A 20% increase is nice but I won't quit my job. Waking up to check the charts, I won't be startled by a 15-minute pump/dump that makes me drop a meme. 👉 Trading is not gambling, nor is it about "praying to the heavens and begging the gods". It's like a long ranked match: you laugh lightly when you win and start over when you lose. The most important thing is to keep a stable heartbeat for the next match.
