Ever noticed how trading crypto feels a lot like playing golf?

Both are games where perfection doesn't exist. You chase improvement, not flawlessness. The hours you grind? They show up in your P&L eventually.

Here's the thing—golf and trading are all about managing your mistakes. Success isn't landing every shot perfectly. It's about minimizing bad swings. Missing a putt by an inch beats missing by a mile. Same with trades—cutting losses quick matters more than hitting every moon shot.

The real edge? Knowing you'll never master either completely. That mindset keeps you learning.

Stop-loss is truly the hardest lesson in trading. It's easy to talk about, but actually doing it is full of pain and tears.

What? Quick stop-loss? My steady loss strategy disagrees.

Well... what you said about stop-loss is right, but it's really too hard to execute in practice. --- The golf analogy is pretty good, but trading is much more brutal than golf—the speed at which you lose money is insane. --- You'll never truly master these two things. My current feeling is that I'm always paying tuition fees. --- Sounds nice, but in reality, most people are chasing overnight riches, haha. --- The analogy of the putt being an inch short is spot on, but unfortunately, in the crypto world, many people are short by a hundred million. --- Quick stop-loss is indeed key, but everyone knows about mindset—very few can actually do it.
