The Root Cause of Trading Losses Is Usually Your Hands Moving Too Fast

After doing this for a while, you’ll find that many losses aren’t technical issues—they’re caused by acting too quickly. These ten rules: I’d rather repeat them over and over than spend every day researching new methods.

1. When a strong coin drops to around day 9, start looking for rebound signals—but don’t bottom-fish directly on day 9.

2. Don’t get excited after a two-day streak of gains. If you have positions, reduce a bit and leave room.

3. If the daily increase exceeds 7%, focus the next day on whether it can hold after pushing higher. Don’t chase just because it looks strong.

4. The more a strong coin rises, the less you can buy impulsively. Wait for a pullback and confirmation—it’s more comfortable than chasing the highest point.

5. If it goes sideways for 3 days, keep observing. If nothing changes even by day 6, switch tickets directly—time is also a cost.

6. If the next day can’t even get back above yesterday’s cost basis, your timing is off—exit. Don’t look for excuses.

7. For consecutive gains, pay attention to the number of days: after two rising days, wait for a pullback. On the fifth day, consider taking profit—don’t let unrealized gains turn into trapped positions.

8. Volume ratio and price are more honest: a breakout with increased volume at low levels is a signal; high-volume but no rise at high levels is a warning.

9. Don’t guess tops or bottoms—follow the trend. For short-term, use the 3-day line; for medium-term, the 30-day line; for the main uptrend phase, the 80-day line; for long-term, the 120-day line.

10. No matter how big or small the capital is, the scariest thing is “haste.” If there’s no clear pattern, wait. If you can’t understand it, don’t trade.

What truly helps me lose less is accepting one reality: not every segment of the market needs participation. In the past, when prices rose I feared missing out, and when they fell I wanted to bottom-fish—so I tried to trade everything. Now I act only when it meets the conditions. If it doesn’t, I just sit. Writing the rules is easy; the hard part is that when the market moves, can you still follow them.
