#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 Remember the crazy years of 2017, I entered this space with just 3100 yuan. Honestly, the market environment back then was far more savage than it is now.



Contracts were just starting to become popular, and some people began to play with high leverage. Every day on the square, you could see screenshots of doubled investments, and at the same time, there were people getting liquidated due to a single retracement. I have witnessed too many traders' tragedies—obsessed with "just one step away from recovery," evolving into "betting everything," and eventually even the property deed became part of their account.

But my story is different.

I didn't take that risky but deadly route.

I didn't chase explosive growth, nor did I crave doubling overnight. I just stuck to a seemingly "boring" upward trajectory—

A stable 45° angle.

Over the years, my maximum account loss has never exceeded 8%.

No thrill of soaring to the sky, but I’ve also never experienced the terror of zeroing out.

Don’t think I have any secret tricks. Honestly, I do nothing special: I don’t predict market directions, I don’t chase news, and I don’t stay up all night watching key candlesticks.

I only adhere to one principle:

**The market is the market, not a casino. The account is assets, not chips.**

When the market is hot, I reduce my position; when it’s sluggish, I gradually build up in stages; when I make profits, I hold steadily; when I lose, I wait rather than force a recovery.

Many say this is too slow and inefficient. But for retail investors, slow is precisely the only way to survive.

Have you ever thought—what truly destroys an account is never a big market crash, but losing control of your position.

Once your position is too large, even if the market direction is correct, a small retracement can completely break your mentality; once your mindset is distorted, all subsequent decisions will go awry.

The method I use isn’t particularly clever, but it has one core—

**Stay alive long enough.**

In this market, surviving long is more important than anything else.

Really, compared to those flashy traps, staying alive is the real skill. I've seen too many people go all in and end up losing even their pants.

look, empirically speaking the position sizing framework here actually aligns with what the research shows about retail survival rates... but the governance implications are way more interesting. like, sec regulation will force this kind of risk management into protocol treasuries eventually, and that's where voting efficiency gets tested.

This guy really hits the nail on the head. I was also one of those fools who got wiped out and woke up in 2017. Thinking back now, I still feel scared. Position control is truly a matter of life and death.

Oh, this is the truth. I’ve lived through it this way too. If you don’t be greedy or impatient, you can smile until the end.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but very few people can actually stick with it. The key is attitude; most people simply can't wait for that 45° angle.

You are absolutely right, living a long life is truly the key. When I first entered the market, I was also watching the K-line every day, and as a result, a sudden crash completely shattered my mindset. Only later did I realize that this game is all about endurance.

Ah, here we go again with the "45-degree angle take it slow" story. I was also there in 2017, but I lived a different life—I've experienced leveraged liquidation before, and now just being alive is a profit. To be honest, his method isn't a secret weapon; it's just cheap wisdom that only those who have survived long enough can recount. Newbies should just listen and not take it seriously.
