How long did you manually lose money before you admit you can't beat the market?

I used to lose money manually too.
Watching during the day, monitoring at night, afraid of giving back gains when it rises, wanting to hold on when it falls.
Losing enough.
Not wanting to lose anymore, that's when I started using quantitative methods.

Looking back at the bills from February to May, four months, 120 days.

February +481U, beginner protection period, luck played a big role.
March +176U, consolidation period, position size narrowed but every trade was profitable.
April +365U, the month with the least trades, but the highest quality, ended with a +91 gain in the last week.
May +427U, my most satisfying month.

Not because May earned the most.
It started with losses. The first two weeks -61, -14 in a row, the system didn't stop, each stop-loss was very normal.
In the third week, the system recovered on its own.
At that moment, I confirmed one thing — I was on the right path.

Total account: 4 months, +1,449U, 88.36% win rate.
1,183 total trades, not a single one survived by holding through.
The data is on the homepage, go check it yourself.

I'm not here to promote anything.
I'm just someone who has lost enough.
Anyone who has manually lost money understands — the moment you see the quantitative data, that switch in your mind flips.

Let me ask a question, tell me in the comments:
How much did you manually lose before you started looking for a system?
A. Lost a few thousand U, couldn't hold on anymore
B. Still manually trading, think I can turn it around $BTC #美伊谈判博弈
