Retail traders always lose why? The problem is simple— they want to win too much, and they want to win quickly.

Give you 100,000 yuan, most people's outcome is to go all-in in one shot, losing everything in three or five rounds. And then? No money left, game over. But if you really want to break out of the cycle of being a “leek,” you need to do this: divide the 100,000 into 100 parts, each 1,000, or even more finely, into 1,000 parts, each 100. This way, your margin for error is larger, and the number of retries depends on how much you can tolerate.

Sounds reasonable, right? Here’s the problem—if you really do this, even if you make money, you're just running a small business, and you won't turn things around. The key depends on that moment. When a real opportunity comes, you need the guts to bet at the critical moment, even go all-in. If luck is on your side, you turn things around in one shot. If luck is bad? It’s all gone.

This is the paradox of trading: you need enough retries to survive, but at the same time, you need the gambler’s courage at the critical moment. You have to take care of both ends, but they also restrict each other. Disciplined people often miss out on huge profit opportunities, while those willing to gamble are already out in some small wave.

This also explains why most people can't make money trading—they're not lacking in technical knowledge, nor do they misunderstand the trends of coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, but the contradiction between psychology and strategy can never be fully reconciled.
