#我的Gate交易时刻 Some say that the ultimate practice of trading is never about chasing extreme profits and losses in a single trade, but about understanding the market pulse through countless buy and sell battles, and taming one’s greed and fear. Having been involved in the crypto world, the US stock market, and prediction markets for a long time, I have experienced the extreme euphoria of Meme market rallies, felt my heartbeat quicken during contract volatility, and endured the long wait of spot holdings. Looking back at all my trading records, what truly reshaped my investment logic was never the single most profitable trade, nor the most devastating liquidation, but an ordinary trade that was unremarkable yet made me realize everything clearly.

When I first entered the investment market, like most newcomers, I was trapped in the misconception of “buying the dip and selling the rally.” I blindly followed the surge of BTC, impulsively went all-in on popular Meme coins, frequently switched positions during short-term US stock trades, and made random bets based on subjective intuition in prediction markets. Back then, my trading lacked logic, planning, and risk control, with only candlestick charts and others’ profits in my eyes. I was eager to catch every market wave, afraid of missing any chance to get rich quickly, convinced that “high-frequency trading = more profits,” but I ignored that the market is always full of uncertainties. The result of frequent operations was continuous small losses and occasional large losses; it seemed I was daily chasing the market and busy trading, but in the end, my account not only failed to grow but kept shrinking through repeated trial and error.

The true transformation came from a calm spot holding experience. At that time, I was simultaneously deploying mainstream coins in spot and medium- to long-term US stock targets. The market was slightly volatile, and my account showed only minimal unrealized gains. Many players around me were frequently arbitraging in the contract market and Meme sector, with short-term gains shining brightly. Restless and impatient, I almost followed the crowd to exit and switch sectors, participating in high-volatility short-term battles. But this time, I forced myself to stay calm, avoided following the trend, and instead patiently reviewed the fundamentals, sorted out the market trend, and strictly adhered to the preset holding rhythm and take-profit and stop-loss rules.
