$BTC $ETH 's trend makes people love and hate it at the same time. The three-month futures journey has been full of ups and downs, with the account experiencing extreme drawdowns at times. That feeling of being beaten down by the market and doubting life is something many traders have probably gone through.

In youth, repeated losses filled me with despair about trading. But life is like a candlestick chart; it doesn't always decline, and there are always opportunities for rebound. Over the years, I have persisted in the futures trading arena, meeting many benefactors and mentors. Their guidance helped me gradually emerge from the darkest periods.

Looking back now, those losing trades and forced liquidations have become the most valuable lessons. Trading is not only a contest of skills and strategies but also a cultivation of mindset and patience. This time, my promise to myself is: never give up, keep evolving. We must stay in the futures trading car until the very end, winning at the finish line.

This chicken soup has made me a bit full, ha Liquidation is the best teacher, more practical than any mentor Sounds nice, but isn't it just continuing to all in?

It's the same old motivational quotes... But on the other hand, when you get liquidated, you really have to learn to accept it, or you'll go crazy.

Your writing style is really good; it's clear you've been through the grind here. But honestly, the biggest risk now is that the next wave of pullback comes again. Getting beaten down by the market and then gaining insight—I've seen this cycle many times. The key is whether you can truly withstand the next one. I bet you can.

nah look, the liquidation cascade data from that period tells a different story than the inspirational narrative here... statistical anomaly in the recovery timeline, if you ask me

During the extreme drawdown, I was truly desperate. Looking back now, I still have to thank those moments of liquidation.

Bro, this article is really outrageous. I have to say, the part about extreme drawdowns is spot on. Why didn't you mention whether those mentors also got liquidated... Futures trading, to put it simply, is gambling. Mental resilience? I keep going all-in until I lose everything. "Never give up" sounds tough, but I'm just worried that in the end, it's the principal that gives up. Three months of ups and downs—are you talking about trading or a rollercoaster of emotions...
