It wasn't just once or twice that I got liquidated. Sometimes, right after I deposited money, a market swing would happen, and when I came back, my position was gone.



Later, I gradually came to understand:
The market isn't targeting anyone. The real problem was that I was too impatient, too greedy, and too confident in my own judgment.
Now, I wouldn't dare say I'm highly skilled, but at least it's been a long time since I was liquidated due to emotional trading.

For the brothers just entering the market, here are some lessons I learned the hard way. I hope you can avoid some detours.

First, don't treat adding margin as a lifeline.
When many people get trapped, their first reaction is to keep adding positions, thinking they can lower their average cost and wait for a rebound to break even. $ETH
But without a clear plan, adding positions often just enlarges the risk.
What's most frightening in trading is not a single loss, but continuously doubling down in the wrong direction.

Second, the calmer the market, the more patient you need to be.
Often, when the market consolidates for a long time, it doesn't mean there is no risk.
Especially after a rally, when prices fluctuate repeatedly, many people think, "it can still go up." $EVAA
But the market never rises forever. The bigger the rally, the more you need to consider risk.
There's a saying in trading that I always keep in mind:
Watch for opportunities when others are fearful, and watch for risks when others are greedy.

Third, you must control your position size.
Trading at full margin looks exciting, but it also leaves no room for mistakes.
The market always has surprises. Without position management, a single wrong judgment can affect your entire account.

Fourth, trading ultimately comes down to mindset.
The truly difficult part of crypto isn't learning how many indicators, but controlling your emotions.
Don't get carried away when the market is rising; don't get greedy when you're making a profit; don't rush to recover when you're losing.
If you can manage to not be arrogant when winning and not panic when losing, you're already ahead of many.

After all the pitfalls I've fallen into over the years, Brother Jia's final summary is just one sentence:
First protect your principal, then consider returns.
