Recently, while browsing the marketplace, I came across a post that was extremely popular. It discussed a trader who made over ten thousand dollars but didn't rush to cash out. Many people find it hard to understand—why continue holding such large profits?
Actually, there's a lot behind this. Being able to stay rational during good market conditions and not be blinded by short-term gains might be the dividing line between big players and retail traders. Many seem to be working hard at trading, but what they truly lack isn't analysis skills—it's psychological resilience.
In comparison, many traders' problems lie here—unable to hold onto their profits after making money, fearing they might miss out on even more if they wait a second longer, so they turn around and cash out their gains; conversely, when losing money, they stubbornly hold on, hoping for a rebound to recover. This emotional rollercoaster ultimately causes their accounts to shrink step by step.
In essence, learning to control greed and manage emotions might be more important than any trading technique. This could be the fundamental reason why some people can achieve consistent profits while others keep spinning their wheels.

nah tbh most traders don't have the recipe down... they're just adding salt randomly and wondering why the dish tastes like panic sells lol

Not even hundreds of thousands of dollars dared to be withdrawn? I need to learn. I start trembling as soon as I earn 5,000 bucks haha

Honestly, if you can't hold on to over a hundred thousand dollars, you really need to reflect on yourself. Greed is a silent killer.

This guy really gets it. I've seen too many people rush to sell after making a little profit, only to miss out on tenfold opportunities, and then regret it until dawn.
Mindset is truly difficult; it's harder than any candlestick analysis.

nah this is just smart money reading the tape differently... most people panic sell at 2x when whales accumulate at support
