Sharing some recent live trading records. There was indeed a period of struggle earlier, but after sticking it out, it took about a month to get back on track. At the peak, the account's unrealized profit reached $2800. I was thinking of adding more, but a retracement wiped out $2000, almost breaking my mindset. Fortunately, I set stop-losses in time and managed to preserve some profit. However, looking at this curve, it’s quite ugly, and I had to adjust my mindset for several days. This time, starting from zero, I am re-planning my strategy, and I will continue to follow the Bitcoin market.

Oops, I lost $2000 in an instant. The pullback is a bit harsh this time.

It should be pointed out that your recent actions reveal a fatal flaw—according to the mathematical proof of the Kelly criterion, increasing the position after a $2,800 unrealized profit is a classic example of risk management failure. On-chain data shows that most retail investors' psychological account effects at this stage lead to overexposure, which is no coincidence.

Unrealized profit of 2800, directly retraced 2000. This wave of correction is really intense, and it takes time to adjust the mindset.

A 2000-dollar drawdown is really painful, but the stop-loss was well executed. Many people get caught here.

Sell on rebound. Your stop-loss this time was quite timely; most people had already fully bought in long ago.

Losing $2000 directly, this wave of pullback is indeed quite intense, but at least the bottom line was preserved, much better than clearing the entire position.
