Truth be told: most people who get wiped out didn't catch the bear market; they simply didn't understand how to play the game.



I've seen many traders, before their accounts go to zero, blame the market. But the reality is, opportunities are there every day—it's just that their own actions ruin them.

Going all-in on margin, chasing gains when prices rise, cutting losses when prices fall—these moves, made repeatedly, cause you to fall before the market even really moves.

I have a friend whose account was down to just 27,000U at the worst. Back then, he was numb to everything, even losing money didn't trigger a reaction. Only after reviewing did he realize the problem wasn't the market; it was that every trade felt like gambling: chasing after rises, cutting losses on dips, losing one after another—each loss more severe than the last.

Then he had an epiphany—

Don't chase the trend, don't rely on rumors;
Lock in your position, only use small funds;
If there's no clear signal, better to rest.

And what happened? In three months, he went from 27,000U to over 400,000U.

This isn't luck. It's the return of a proper trading rhythm.

Why can't most people escape the fate of liquidation?

They enter the market expecting to double their money overnight, never setting stop-losses;
They chase after rapid gains, and sell immediately when the market dips;
They are completely driven by emotion, with reflexes faster than their brains.

Opportunities are presented repeatedly, yet accounts are wiped out time and again.

There is a hard rule in this industry:

Markets are not lacking; what’s lacking is the ability to grasp the rhythm;
Opportunities are not lacking; what’s lacking is disciplined execution.

Turning things around never depends on luck; it relies on a repeatable, validated trading system.

Market gains are always there; the problem is most people haven't even understood the most basic risk management.

ngl the whole "system over luck" thesis here actually maps onto smart contract design patterns... like, position sizing is just your risk management primitives, right? the dude went from 27k to 400k+ not bc of alpha but bc he finally implemented proper checks-before-execution logic. that's literally what auditors look for. anyway most traders are just running unaudited code in prod
