The Part of Trading We Don’t Post About
I’ve noticed something about crypto. We all post the wins. The green candles. The “perfect entry” screenshots. The big percentage gains.
But there’s a part of trading we almost never talk about our mental state while we’re doing it.
If I’m being honest, most of my losses didn’t happen because the market was unfair. They happened because I was impatient.
Sometimes I entered because of FOMO.
Sometimes I traded just because I was bored.
Sometimes I held a bad position longer than I should have, simply because my ego didn’t want to accept I was wrong.
And these are small decisions. So small that in the moment, they don’t feel dangerous. But by the end of the week, when I look at my PNL, I can clearly see the impact.
We create strategies but we don’t fully follow them.
We write risk management rules then adjust them mid-trade.
We set stop losses then move them when price gets close.
One day I asked myself a simple question:
If I had to explain every single trade I took this week to a serious investor, would I sound confident?
The answer made me uncomfortable.
That’s when I realized the problem wasn’t the market. It was my discipline.
Now before entering any trade, I pause for one minute. Just one minute.
I ask myself:
• Is this planned, or emotional?
• If this hits stop loss, will I accept it calmly?
• Would I still take this trade if the position size were smaller?
That one minute has improved my trading more than any indicator I’ve tried.
We analyze coins. We study charts. We follow news.
But we rarely analyze ourselves.
Maybe the real edge in trading isn’t a secret strategy.
Maybe it’s emotional control.
Making profit isn’t the hardest part.
Protecting it consistently is.
And that’s something I’m still learning slowly, but honestly.
