#美联储降息 That moment I truly understood that trading and gambling are two different things.



I still remember that dark day. A large sum of funds shrank from 2.17 million to 43,000 overnight, and my whole world collapsed. My phone vibrated, and a message from the early education teacher popped up—"It's time to pay Xiao Ke's early education fee."

I crouched in the bathroom, crying uncontrollably.

It was then that I realized that investment is essentially about building a moat for my family, not risking everything for a quick, reckless fortune.

From that day on, I decided to change completely. No longer driven by market emotions, no longer chasing excitement with leverage. I began to calm down, organize my trading logic, and found a few friends who had also stumbled in the market. We decided to stick together and keep warm.

**Redefining what "winning" means**

We abandoned the illusion of a hundredfold myth. Instead, we focus on: staying stable and alive, then letting compound interest work slowly.

Position management became extremely strict—layered pyramid-style positions, opening with a base position each time, only adding when profits are made, with a single trade stop-loss capped at 1%. This seemingly cold rule helped us smoothly navigate the suffocating volatility of 2023.

**Finding the "pulse" of the market**

After three years, we summarized our own rhythm—

What does a truly high-confidence opportunity look like? When the four-hour and daily charts both show a golden cross, and trading volume doubles or nearly doubles—that's the signal. Trends without volume support are traps. With this logic, last year we accurately caught three major market rallies.

Later, we developed a "volume discrimination" framework: a new high, volume doubling, and support levels holding for three consecutive days—only then is it a real breakout. Otherwise, it's a trap. Many got shaken out by bearish candles, but with this system, we avoided countless lessons learned the hard way.

**From individual to team transformation**

What started as a small circle of 18 people has now grown to over a thousand. More importantly—28 consecutive months without a single margin call incident.

Some paid off their mortgages with steady monthly compound interest; others saved for their children's education funds; more people found the feeling of earning while sleeping.

Every time I see these stories, I think of the desperate self crouched in the bathroom. That pain has become my most valuable asset.

**The crypto world is never short of stories; discipline is what’s missing**

The biggest lie in this market is the myth of getting rich overnight. What is true success? It’s having your family sleep peacefully by your side, not worrying about account fluctuations to the point of insomnia, and being able to honor your life plan with every trade.

We have verified—using the right methods, combined with the power of time and compound interest, we will eventually reach that seemingly distant shore.

$ETH $SOL $BTC, every coin has its cycle, every cycle has its opportunities. The key is whether you are alive to seize them.

Walking blindly in the dark, you’ll either hit a wall or fall into a pit. Having a reliable team to pave the way, verify, and restrain impulsiveness—this is worth more than anything.

I am still here, and we will persist together.

2.17 million to 43,000... Bro, your mental resilience is truly impressive. Just walking out of the bathroom alive is already a win. --- Honestly, discipline is easy to talk about but hard to do. Most people just can't resist that greed. --- 28 months without a liquidation? We need to verify if this data is true. There are too many stories in the crypto world that are just too smoothly fabricated. --- Building a pyramid with a position sounds good, but how many people can truly resist the urge to cut losses at 1% during a sharp market decline? --- Still, the same old saying: staying alive is more important than anything. That early education fee really hit home. --- A volume-based screening framework is good, but beware that others' "new highs, doubled volume" might be your false breakout signals. --- If you really want to make steady money, don't think about getting rich overnight. That's basic skills. Unfortunately, everyone forgets that when they enter the market. --- The idea of team solidarity for warmth is good, but only if you find the right people. Messing with the wrong person is worse than messing with anyone else. --- The biggest lie in the crypto world isn't getting rich overnight; it's those who teach you how to make money not even making money themselves.

2.17 million to 43,000 was really despairing at that moment, but it was also the best lesson learned. It's not easy to hold on for so long without liquidation; the discipline of a 1% single trade stop-loss is really strict. I remember that method of identifying volume; next time I look at charts, I need to pay more attention to trading volume. Honestly, this market is a test of mentality. Just surviving until the next cycle already means you've beaten most people. The idea of forming a group for mutual support is correct; one person is really easy to get cut.

ngl the 217万 → 4.3万 part hit different... that's not trading anymore, that's just liquidation roulette. the liquidity fragmentation across chains hits the same way but slower, just bleeds your portfolio instead of nuking it overnight. seen too many "optimal routing" discussions that ignore counter-party risk completely. anyway, discipline > delusion always wins long-term fr.

The moment from 2.17 million to 43,000 was truly eye-opening. However, this logic sounds a bit like another story. A 1% stop loss is indeed ruthless, but are there really people in the crypto world who can stick to it now? The golden cross combined with volume has been overused. The question is, how to distinguish a real breakout from a false one, my friend? 28 months without liquidation—this data is quite remarkable, honestly. The idea of earning income while family members sleep sounds comfortable, but the gap between monthly compound backtesting and real trading is significant. Huddling together for warmth is correct, just don’t turn it into another type of leek harvest.

Damn, this story really made me feel anxious... That feeling of falling from the high sky... --- Bro, you've had an epiphany this time. Discipline is truly the key to life. --- I just want to know, how many people are still risking their lives with leverage trading? --- From 2.17 million to 43,000... Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed; that psychological barrier is too tough. --- And then there's the early education expenses for kids... That's probably the most heartbreaking part. --- The idea of steady compound interest sounds good, but when it comes to market manipulation... how many can really hold on? --- The idea of forming a group to keep warm is quite realistic; one person is really easy to break down. --- The logic of golden cross + doubled volume... honestly, many people know it, but they just can't stick to the discipline. --- 28 months without liquidation—that's solid data, but who in the crypto world would believe it? Haha. --- The worst are those who share their success stories, only to lose everything the next second. --- "Using the right method + time"... sounds easy, but the time cost for ordinary people is just a disguised way of cutting leeks.
