Honestly, many people in the crypto market are stuck in this strange cycle: accounts are losing money, they grit their teeth and hold on stubbornly, hoping for a rebound; once they make a little profit, they immediately run away, fearing a retracement. This is not a technical issue at all; frankly, it’s an amplification of human weakness—when losing, they always hope for a miracle; when winning, they’re afraid of losing it all.
Looking at your own trading logs, you’ll see: eyes fixed on the red and green numbers of your account, but never on the market’s volume and trend. What’s the final result? Making a tiny profit, but the losses can become bottomless. This is exactly why most retail investors always struggle to break even—the root cause lies here.
The problem is, many people’s "solutions" are also very limited. Setting take-profit and stop-loss? Sounds good, but it requires strong discipline to actually follow through. But have you ever thought about a more fundamental question: why must you put yourself on a battlefield fighting against greed and fear?
The true way out may not be training yourself to become a cold-blooded machine, but rather finding a way to naturally avoid emotional involvement and automatically execute optimal decisions to increase value. This is exactly what some automated DeFi protocols are doing.
Take projects like Lisa, for example. They don’t offer another manual trading tool, but an automated solution that redefines the relationship between humans and the market. It directly addresses all the human pain points of retail investors: no passive waiting for "losses to be dead-held," and no missed opportunities by "rushing to take small profits." The entire process runs automatically, with discipline coming from the protocol itself, not relying on your willpower.

You talk really harshly haha, it's just my daily reflection...
This automation system sounds good, but I always feel like something's missing
Isn't this just saying me, outrageous
When losing money, I shrug my shoulders; when making money, I get cold feet and run away, hilarious
But can automatic execution really solve human nature problems? It still feels like you have to rely on yourself
Every time I check my account, my blood pressure rises
People, maybe we're our own biggest enemies
Taking profit and stopping loss sounds easy, but who can truly hold on?
Automatic protocol execution? I need to take another look at this and hear what the old guys have to say

That really hits home... I am the one who holds on stubbornly after losing, and runs away when I make a profit, haha.
Automation sounds good, but the problem is that the market changes so quickly. Can protocols really match human reactions?
Making a little profit but risking a bottomless pit—that's what hit home.
But relying on automation can also easily backfire. You need to see clearly before jumping in.
Feels like you're promoting some project again...
Actually, the hardest part isn't the technology, but changing your own greed.
I've heard this theory too many times; the key is still to control risk exposure.
The root cause of failing to take profits or cut losses has been identified, but automation isn't a silver bullet either.
Retail investors are always the ones being harvested; no matter how smart the protocol is, it can't change this reality.

At the end of the day, you still need to recognize yourself. Most people just lack self-control.
Human weaknesses are amplified tenfold in the crypto world, I’m at a loss for words.
Automation solutions sound good, but those who truly believe probably haven't been "harvested" yet.
Taking profits and cutting losses is easy to say, but a slight tremor and it's gone.
Not all automated protocols can save you; the key is to choose the right projects.

It's so relatable, I'm just the fool staring at my account numbers in a daze
Feels like I've been called out... really, it's always like this
Take profit and stop loss sound simple, but executing them is really a torment
Automated solutions sound reliable, but the key is to find the right project
I'm all too familiar with the loss mindset... always waiting for a rebound
The root problem is still greed and fear at play, nothing new
Protocol automation requires such strict discipline to achieve
Flipping through operation logs... oh my, it's all blood, sweat, and tears of losses
But automation isn't necessarily a silver bullet; it depends on how it's designed
Making a little profit is easy, but losing big is truly brutal, so true
Emotion control is really much harder than technical analysis

Exactly, I've been caught in this vicious cycle myself. When I lose, I hope for a miracle to rebound; when I make a profit, I sell quickly. In the end, nothing is left.
Automation is really awesome; no need to watch the market every day and struggle with your mindset.
But are automated protocols reliable? There are too many fake ones out there.

Exactly right, but human nature is infinitely amplified in the crypto world—lose money and hold on, make money and run, it's all just a cycle of repeatedly taking profits.
But can automation really save people? I don't think so either; in the end, you still have to figure it out for yourself.
