What truly causes people to lose out is not how fierce the market is, but that restless heart that can't stop and always wants to take a gamble.



I've seen too many people enter the market with just $10,000 and go all-in, dreaming when it rises, cutting losses when it falls. Trading is like riding a roller coaster; in the end, all that's left in the account is a pile of tuition fees. I've fallen into this trap myself.

The most heartbreaking part was—actually, I didn't pick the wrong direction, but I still lost my money. At that time, I blamed the market, blamed the行情, and only later realized that the one who truly trapped me was myself.

After blowing up my position once or twice, I finally understood one thing: in this circle, those who can stick to the end are not the ones who earn the fastest, but the ones who can withstand the drawdowns.

Honestly, my current strategy is very simple—just one core principle: slow and steady. Start with small positions to test the waters, add gradually if correct, and cut losses immediately if wrong. It’s not exciting, but the account curve is trending upward. Some say I’m too conservative, but this "conservatism" is a realization bought at the cost of a margin call.

To be blunt, when there’s no行情, I can stay in cash for several days without moving. When the rhythm comes, I dare to concentrate my firepower. The key is not to bet on a certain rise or fall, but to focus on managing position size and timing.

I’ve seen too many experts fall due to greed and impatience. Losing in 技术? No, what loses is that unwillingness to accept defeat.

To truly turn things around, the first step is to stop opening orders recklessly—don’t go heavy on底部抄底, and don’t gamble your living expenses on行情. Bitcoin will still have opportunities in 2026; there are行情 every year, but once the principal is gone, the game is over.

Taking it slow is really no big deal; the key is to stay steady, follow the right rhythm, and move in the right direction, so you can survive to see the last wave.

Wow, this article is about my blood, sweat, and tears. The harshest line is "The one who loses is that unwillingness," which really hits home.

It was too late to realize. Looking at my account curve, I finally understood what it means to deserve to lose.

That hits hard. I used to be that fool with a full position. That's why now I would rather miss out than get liquidated. Honestly, the hardest part is cutting losses, but it's way better than being liquidated. Making money quickly isn't a skill; surviving is the real skill.

It's a simple truth, but the only thing holding us back is the small fee.
