Many traders are too focused on how to optimize the get on board strategy, and while get on board is important, it is not the main reason for trading failures. Especially in a highly social market like Cryptocurrency, many people tend to be able to spot opportunities early. However, the real difficulty is often in the exit strategy – or rather, the lack of a clear exit strategy. I often see traders experiencing similar problems when exiting. When it's time to take profits, some people hesitate, hold for too long, try to catch the last wave of gains, or are afraid of missing out on more profit space. There are also those who leave the market in a hurry because of panic when the market pulls back, without fully considering the overall trend or fundamentals of the market. In addition, there is a common misconception that a trade is regarded as an "opportunity to decide everything", so it falls into a "must be perfectly grasped" mentality, and even ignores other potential trading opportunities. This psychological problem usually stems from a trader's lack of confidence in their ability to execute their trading plan stably. Top traders are able to avoid these pitfalls because they believe in their ability to trade and know that there is never a shortage of new opportunities in the market. Why do traders have trouble exiting the market? Emotions lead decision-making: Many traders let greed or fear dictate their judgment without strictly adhering to pre-set rules. Lack of exit planning: Although the get on board strategy is well designed, exit is often overlooked. A successful trade must not only have a good start, but also a good end. Striving for the extreme: Some traders are obsessed with clinging to absolute tops or bottoms, a behavior that, while rare, often leads to suboptimal results. The Pitfall of Desperate Bets: Seeing a single trade as a decisive opportunity can create significant psychological stress, leading to poor execution or missing out on other, better opportunities. What sets top traders apart? Top traders value exit as much as get on board. They know that the market opportunities are endless, so no single deal can make or break them. They are distinguished in the following ways: Make a clear plan: They set clear profit rules in advance, whether it is to gradually reduce the position or exit the market when the stop loss point is reached. Rapid Stop Loss: When a trading hypothesis is verified as wrong, they do not hesitate to act and stop loss in a timely manner. Avoid the pitfalls of perfection: they understand that they can't catch every top or bottom, so they focus more on consistency than perfection. Be rational and objective: Every trade is just a probability-based decision. With this way of thinking, they are able to face market fluctuations more calmly. Top traders never see any trade as a "fateful" opportunity. They focus on maintaining stable execution across multiple trades because they understand that trading advantages need to be realized over time, rather than relying on a single high-pressure trade. The key to trading is not to strive for perfection, but to maintain stability. As the saying goes, "How much money can amateurs follow, how much money professionals can lose." Good traders are able to master the art of exiting. Because they know that the key to long-term success is not flawless, but stable execution and effective risk management.
