Stop wasting words and get straight to the point—when it comes to making money, there are only two keywords: rules and execution.



Remember the confidence you had when looking at $FOGO's trend back then—where did that go now? Your stop-loss and take-profit plans were written clearly, but your finger was still glued to the screen. When the candlestick flickered, your heart clenched. What kind of trading is that? It's just self-inflicted suffering.

The difference between experts and novices in the market boils down to one word: discipline. No other secret.

You should understand that once the market is planned out, let the trading rules operate automatically. There's no need to prove you're right every moment. The real skill is letting the correct trades gradually accumulate profits, building up a large position one point at a time.

Don't deceive yourself into thinking "worrying causes chaos"—that's actually control issues acting up. When the market fluctuates randomly, your psychological defenses collapse. The core problem is still an unstable inner state.

The market doesn't care about your heartbeat frequency. It only follows rules—always cold, always logical. Those who stare at the screen all day, anxious enough to press the wrong keys, will ultimately have to spit out the profits they earned.

Experienced traders who truly make money have long since closed the app—they drink tea when they should, take walks when they should.

Remember these iron rules: watching the screen won't increase your gains; it only costs more in fees. Frequently changing your $ZEN stop-loss and take-profit settings often results in cutting your own profits. A bull market won't stop just because you turn off the screen.

The three most important practices in the crypto world are: opening a position, setting stop-loss and take-profit, and turning off your phone.

Let probability do its work, and let time be your friend. The distance between calm profit-making and you is just the courage to close the app once.

That's right, it's just being careless. I $FOGO clearly set a stop loss, but I still changed it three times, and in the end, I lost everything in vain. The key is really having the courage to turn off the phone.

That's right, I just can't stop myself. I know that adjusting the stop-loss is like giving away money, but I still can't help but press it.

That's so awesome, I'm the one who keeps finger-pressing the screen in frustration, always able to precisely cut losses at the lowest point haha

No doubt about that, but when it comes to the critical moment, I still can't help but open the candlestick chart...

That's right, discipline is everything. But the problem is that most people simply can't do it—it's too hard to overcome that psychological barrier.

It sounds good, but how many people can actually close the app? I haven't managed to do it myself.
