Most people lose money and blame the market or market makers, but the real reason is simple: they never treated trading as a legitimate business. The market has always been a high-elimination game, just like startups—nine out of ten fail. Hundreds of thousands of restaurants close every year. It's not about lack of effort; it's about lacking the conditions to survive from the start. Trading is more deceptive though—accounts quietly go bust with no fanfare or closure notice. To survive in trading, focus on only two things, and push technical indicators to the back: 1. Clear market positioning It's not just about short-term vs. mid-term trading. It's: Does the market environment match your strategy? Are these opportunities within your system? Can you execute consistently? If any answer is no, don't trade. Don't force open a shop with no business. 2. Proper risk management Startups can raise capital; trading only has your own capital. A 30% loss requires a 43% gain to break even; a 50% loss requires doubling to recover. A big drawdown destroys your mindset and strategy. The first step to success is always protecting your principal. If you can control drawdowns and only take high-probability trades, even 10-15% annual returns beat going all-in and getting knocked out. Slow is an advantage in trading. Before every trade, ask yourself five questions: Does the market match my system? Is this my familiar, profitable pattern? What's the maximum I can lose? Will losses affect my next trades? Will skipping this hurt my long-term returns? One "no" and you skip the trade. Trading is a brutal business. Don't chase overnight riches—first, stay at the table. Survival comes before talking about compounding.#BTC #ETH

OMG, he's got me completely under his thumb 😭 The crypto market isn't about reading charts at all, everything revolves around him～ On March 21st, he dropped a 48-hour ultimatum threatening to bomb Iranian power plants, and risk-off sentiment hit the roof. ETH got hammered from 2160 down to 2045, my heart was in my throat 🥺 Then on the 23rd he said to pause the strikes and have good dialogue instead, and suddenly risk appetite bounced back, ETH rallied from the 2000 level back to 2199. A roller coaster isn't even this thrilling! He's literally the world's biggest risk switch ✨ Middle East tensions, energy, war expectations — they move the dollar, stocks, gold, and oil all together, not to mention the crypto space～ The market is pure emotion, capital, and news anyway with no earnings reports and no cash flows, so his words are literally the life-or-death line between bulls and bears, directly deciding wins and losses — totally normal! I really wish I could be his relative, I'd even be willing to be his godchild OMG 🥺$TRUMP ‌
