After years of struggling in the Crypto Assets market, I gradually realized a truth: those seemingly complex technical indicators are actually not mysterious at all.
Golden cross and death cross, overbought and oversold, are essentially one action—measuring the balance of power between bulls and bears in the market. It sounds simple, but the real challenge is not whether you can understand these signals, but whether you can remain composed and not be controlled by emotions at the moment the signals flash.
What is the most common mistake beginners make? Crazy pursuit of that "100% accurate" holy grail indicator. They sift through a pile of technical analysis materials but overlook the most critical point: any technical indicator has its lag and limitations.
Market sentiment can change, sudden news can crash prices, and even a large transfer information from a whale is enough to instantly invalidate your carefully constructed technical indicators. I've seen too many people deceived by their own indicators.
What is the biggest difference between experienced traders and beginners? It's not that they have stronger predictive abilities, but that their trading strategies are more flexible and resilient.
They use moving averages to judge the big trend, but they would never be scared into liquidating their positions just because a single candlestick breaks below the moving average. When looking at the RSI overbought situation, they do not directly short, but instead, they take into account trading volume, price patterns, and the overall market health for a comprehensive analysis. What is the most crucial part? For every trade, they have already planned in advance how to exit, at what loss to stop-loss, and at what profit to take the gains.
The volatility of the crypto assets market is indeed large, and there are many opportunities, but there are more traps than opportunities. A set of concise and effective trading rules that can be self-disciplined and executed is much more useful than a bunch of intricate but difficult-to-adhere-to complex technical indicators.
Those who can survive and make money in the market often rely not on the most accurate market predictions, but on the most stable mindset and the strictest discipline. This is the true moat in the coin circle.
For popular coins like XRP and SOL, technical analysis is just a reference. Your success ultimately depends on whether you can adhere to your trading rules and maintain rationality amidst the noise.

That's so true. The stop-loss rule is really a lifeline. I've seen so many people lose their lives over the words "wait a little longer."

nah this is just survivorship bias dressed up as wisdom tbh. yeah discipline matters but let's not pretend the real winners aren't just lucky enough to catch the right whale pumps at the right time

You're right, stop loss discipline can really save lives.

In simple terms, it's a mechanism design problem; trading rules without a self-discipline framework are just empty.
---
Historically, too many people have failed because of "perfect indicators"; are we going to repeat this cycle again?
---
The essence of governance efficiency lies here — it's not about how exquisite the rules are, but whether the execution is ruthless enough.
---
When a whale transfers, the chart becomes useless; the trading rules need to have fault tolerance mechanisms like DAO proposals.
---
Indicators are just signals; the real moat is whether you can maintain the bottom line amidst noise bombardment, and this point hasn't been thoroughly discussed.
---
Trading Volume, price patterns, market health — it’s about understanding the balance of the game.
---
A bunch of crypto veterans have actually built a governance framework for themselves to prevent emotions from causing chaos.
---
Why are newbies always getting scammed? It’s simply due to the lack of a self-regulating trading system, which is similar to having no consensus after decentralization of power.
---
The technical reference value of XRP and SOL is limited; the key is whether your decision-making process is designed rigorously.
---
Mindset building ≈ governance incentive compatibility; if you don't grasp this point, no matter how many indicators you have, they are just paper tigers.

You're all right, but most people just can't change this habit. What seems like simple discipline is hell when it comes to execution.
