Why do you make small profits every time, only to end up with big losses?
Almost every crypto retail trader gets caught in the same vicious cycle: they rush to take profits on small gains, but when a position is deeply underwater, they stubbornly refuse to cut their losses. When they're sitting on a floating profit of just a few points, they feel anxious and exit quickly, afraid their gains will vanish. But when the market turns against them and their position goes into the red, they cling to the hope of a rebound, keep adding to the position to lower their average cost, and ultimately let a small loss snowball into a huge one$JCT
At its core, contract trading is a game of probabilities. Long-term profits don't come from an exceptionally high win rate, but from maintaining a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Even if you make small gains on eight out of ten trades, one large loss from refusing to cut a losing position can wipe out all your previous profits. Even an 80% win rate won't save your account from steadily shrinking if your risk-to-reward ratio is out of balance$AKE
Professional traders always stick to the core principle of trading: cut your losses short and let your profits run. Set stop-losses and follow them strictly. In a trending market, adjust your take-profit levels sensibly to maximize gains, without letting minor short-term fluctuations cloud your judgment.
Only by breaking the bad habits of taking profits too early and stubbornly holding onto losing positions, and building a standardized risk management system, can you truly set out on the path to consistent profitability and escape the vicious cycle of repeated losses$AGT
