Review of the 2025 Trading Account: This year has been a rollercoaster. The year started with profits in January, but then from February to July, it entered a prolonged six-month loss period, losing money for six consecutive months. However, in August, the situation reversed, and the following three months (August, September, October) saw consecutive gains, somewhat turning the tide. Unfortunately, by the end of the year, November and December fell back into losses. Overall, only four months of the year were profitable, with the remaining eight months in the red. This volatility reflects the market's fluctuations—long spring and summer slowdowns, autumn rally, and year-end adjustments. For many traders, such a rhythm is all too familiar.
Really, I experienced the same from February to July. Based on historical reviews, such sustained loss periods usually stem from improper leverage allocation and underestimating liquidation risks.
The 4 profit to 8 loss ratio... It’s worth noting that it may indicate your strategy is more suitable for autumn market conditions rather than year-round stability. It is recommended to optimize from three dimensions—first, position management; second, risk control mechanisms; third, capital cycle allocation.
The reversal in August was actually a market signal, but losing it again by the end of the year shows that the adjustment rhythm at the autumn-winter transition was missed. There is some knowledge here.
It sounds like there is a lack of dynamic hedging against macro cycles. The six months of spring and summer off-seasons shouldn’t have been all-in.
---
It's the usual end-of-year explosion again. I'm too familiar with this routine.
---
Eight months of profit, eight months of loss... This is my 2025.
---
Losing confidence during spring and summer, then a rebound in autumn, perfectly illustrating what a rollercoaster trading is.
---
That half-year of the off-season can really mess with your mindset. When it rises a bit, it gets lost again. Speechless.
---
The double kill at the end of the year is truly despairing. It feels like all gains are fake.
---
This move belongs to the "earn a little then lose it all back" ultimate version.
---
No wonder they call MEV victims. Who isn't in this market?
---
That wave from August to October was indeed comfortable, but unfortunately, I didn't sell. Everything has come back.
---
Four months beat eight months. That's the state of crypto.
---
Spring and summer are definitely a trader's nightmare, but the autumn rebound is somewhat salvageable
---
The market trend from August to October was really fierce, but unfortunately, the year-end performance was a letdown
---
Four months of profit, eight months of loss, this is our daily routine haha
---
The last two months of the year directly broke the pattern, feels like there's some issue with the overall market
---
The off-season half-year really wore people out
At the end of the year, I had another setback, feeling like I freeloaded for half a year.
When going all-in, how should I really calculate the account, everyone?
Turning around from August to October, but then exploding again in November and December, it's exhausting.
Four months of profit, eight months of loss, how much resilience does that take?
The off-season really kills, and the autumn rebound can't save the awkwardness at the end of the year.
Contracts are just like that, advancing in waves and retreating.
---
Falling into the trap again at the end of the year, this rhythm is incredible.
---
And you still dare to say we can turn the situation around? Hahaha.
---
Spring and summer off-season are indeed harvest periods.
---
Four months of profit, eight months of loss? We're all doing charity here.
---
I also caught that wave in autumn, but turned around and spat it back out.
---
That's why I only do dollar-cost averaging now.
---
The word "again and again" is used really well here, almost like saying "the guys lost again."
---
It seems trading really is against human nature.
---
This rhythm is truly gambler's mentality. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all-in during the fall
---
Four months of profit and eight months of loss, and you still have the nerve to summarize? I might just smash the keyboard
---
Spring and summer off-season? No, this is called a "cutting meat" season, alright, same old routine
---
Watching a little profit in August, September, and October, then a full dump with a correction at the end of the year, it's really incredible
---
From February to July, not dropping out of the circle altogether shows strong mental resilience
---
The autumn market indeed turns around, but I'm afraid we have to wait for this window every year, too embarrassing
---
Haha, falling into losses again at the end of the year, it's like dancing with the market
---
Four profitable months sound pretty good, but the feeling of no news for eight months is a bit uncomfortable
---
Losses in November and December are the most damaging; I was planning to celebrate the New Year, too
Four months of profit and eight months of loss—that's the daily routine in crypto. You have to have a really tough mindset.
October was okay, then November and December tanked again. Every time I thought I could turn things around by the end of the year, but... sigh.
Spring and summer get hit, fall turns around, and winter dies suddenly. This cycle is truly etched into the DNA of crypto traders.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about how you survived that half-year. Not getting liquidated is already a win.
