✅ 1. Long-term survival is better than a temporary outbreak
In sports, talent can only take you so far; sustained endurance is the key to success.
The same is true in trading - many people become popular because of huge profits, but are completely eliminated because of a margin call.
You don't have to win all the time, just don't get eliminated.
✅ 2. Do a good job of "warming up" before starting to trade
Just as athletes warm up before a game, professional traders should also prepare before trading:
Review market trends
Set reminders and key points
Review positions and plans
Don’t trade based on your feelings; this is a competition, not a casino.
✅ 3. Taking a break wisely is a professional quality
Experts don't play in every game, they are waiting for their own high-win opportunities.
You don't need to chase every K-line or participate in all hot spots.
Acting selectively has a higher chance of success than operating blindly.
✅ 4. Losing control of your emotions is equal to self-destruction
Athletes need emotional control: meditation, breathing, rhythm
The same goes for traders: fear, FOMO, revenge trading can kill accounts.
After every transaction, you should ask yourself:
Am I executing a strategy, or am I operating on emotion?
✅ 5. Protect your health and your capital
An athlete wouldn't run straight into a wall, and a trader shouldn't go all-in with a 20x leverage.
Reasonable stop loss, building positions in batches, and risk control are the bottom line for survival.
✅ 6. Recovery is more important than radicalization
You don’t need to spend $1.5 million a year like LeBron to stay at your peak, but you do need to:
Get enough sleep
Timed exercise
Step away from the screen
Tired traders are more likely to over-trade, and being sober is the key to the greatest winning rate.
✅ 7. Every failure is a tuition fee, not the end.
Don't be in a hurry to make a comeback after losing. Reviewing the situation is more important than fighting back.
Stop losses in time, record transactions, and find out mistakes - this is the daily routine of top traders.
✅ 8. The log is the coach, the data is the answer
Record every operation:
Entry Point
Exit point
Emotional state
Results and Analysis
In the long run, you will find your own trading model and advantages.
✅ 9. Stability is the real compound interest
Investing in BTC every month is like an NBA player practicing free throws - boring but effective.
Don’t fantasize about getting rich 100 times every day. Steady accumulation is the right way.
✅ 10. Keep a cash buffer to avoid being held hostage by emotions
The main reason athletes go bankrupt: poor cash management
As a trader, having enough money to live on will allow you to:
Don’t be held hostage by market fluctuations
Don’t rush to turn things around because of losses
Choose better opportunities instead of passive trading
✅ 11. Time is the strongest moat
The real big win comes not in the 5th month, but in the 5th year.
Don’t rush to “become financially free in this cycle”, you should think:
“How to survive until the next bull market and still have a large position.”
✅ 12. The ultimate advantage: endurance
Can you be the person that others ask for advice in the next bull market?
Stacking capabilities, not just coins
Surviving the cycle is more important than guessing the trend
Don't be a short-lived gambler, but a well-trained professional player
🧾 Conclusion: The real champion is not talent, but habit
In this 24/7, unguided market, the only thing you can control is yourself.
Review, exercise, adjust, execute - repeat
Controlling emotions, improving systems, and maintaining physical fitness are the underlying logic of professional athletes.
Crypto is not a game won by talent, but a marathon won by self-training.
Don't just play the game, train, get stronger, and eventually win it.
