Stop saying this market has no money to make. The problem is not the market itself, but yourself.

Many people enter the market and fall into the same trap: no clear stop-loss point, and no real exit plan. What happens then? They get greedy when they see prices rising, and their originally set profit targets are swallowed up by greed. When it’s a critical moment, instead of running, they get caught.

The reason liquidity in the TG group is being drained this way is simply due to retail traders' greed and lack of discipline. Take profits when it’s time to take profits, cut losses when it’s time to cut losses—if these two points are well managed, there’s always an opportunity in the market. But most people do the exact opposite.

Exactly right, I have a bunch of people around me with the same attitude. Their set stop-loss lines are useless; they see the K-line jump and start fantasizing about moonshots, only to get trapped and still shout about bottom-fishing. Making money isn't really hard; what's hard is having discipline, everyone. Know when to withdraw and when to stop; sticking to these two points makes everything else pointless. Before launch, I never change my plan; after landing, I don't chase highs. It's that simple, but most people do the opposite.

It's the same old argument again—why is greed so hard to quit?

That's right, you really have to be ruthless with stop-losses.

That hits too close to home. I'm the one who didn't set a stop-loss and got burned.

Indeed, stop-loss and exit are easy to talk about, but actually executing them requires strong psychological resilience. I'm the kind of person who can't bear to sell when the coin is rising, and then gets slapped in the face. Now I've learned to behave. Making money is hard, mainly because you need to control yourself and not be trapped by greed. That's why most people lose money—not because of market issues, but because of self-discipline. Having a plan is one thing, but following through with the plan is another... So true. The moment of exit is the real test—staying true to the 20% target and then running, but then wanting 30%... The entire TG group keeps getting repeatedly cut by their own greed, and by the time they wake up, it's too late.
