Many people want to achieve stable profits, but in fact, the opposite of stable profits is stable losses. It sounds contradictory, but it is the truth of trading.

The market is always uncontrollable; this is the reality we face. So what can we do? The only thing we can control is our own losses. Keep losses within the expected range, and profits will come naturally. Repeating this process, stable profits are no longer a dream.

Let's take the recent Ethereum trend as an example. From 4957 down to 2620, the original downtrend suddenly changed, entering a sideways consolidation. Looking at this pattern, using technical analysis, it clearly shows features like channel divergence.

What to do at this point? Use the 2620 level as an anchor point, a dividing line. Consider entering a long position here. Losses? Certainly, in the range of two or three hundred points, this is visible and certain. Making money? On the other hand, it’s uncertain. This is the embodiment of controlling losses.

The key is patience. Wait for such opportunities to appear again and again, allowing yourself to experience controlled small losses repeatedly. It may look like you're losing, but in reality, you're accumulating. Keep going, and miracles will truly happen.

You're right, controlling losses is much more reliable than chasing huge profits, but maintaining that mindset is really difficult. Consistently small losses can turn into profits? It sounds counterintuitive, but that's actually the principle. Wait, is entering long at 2620 really safe? I feel like it's another trap for a pullback. Repeatedly managing losses within expectations sounds simple, but persistence is the real challenge. Old brother's approach is good, but I'm worried about execution—wanting to go all-in with just one set. Entering on channel divergence? I’ve been caught by limit down using that method before; volume still matters. It's true, but most people are still hoping for a quick turnaround—they can't tolerate small losses.

No matter how correct you are, it’s useless; the key is execution, and most people can't do it.

That's right, I've long understood the logic of controlling losses. The problem is that it's still easy to break the rules when actually executing it. Is the secret to consistently making money really that simple? Then why are so many people still losing everything? Maybe their psychological preparation isn't good enough. Line 2620 does look comfortable, but I feel like every time there's a "certain loss," it eventually turns into a guaranteed liquidation... Hold on, hold on. It's easy to say, but how many people can really stick with it?

Exactly right, it's easy to talk about strategies on paper, but when it comes to actual operation, it's easy to lose composure. So is it really good to buy at 2620?

It sounds right, but how many can actually stick to it in real practice? I'm just that kind of loser who knows the truth but always wants to buy the dip haha
