Turning 36, looking back on the trading journey, I feel a deep sense of emotion. When I first entered this market in 2014, I only had 60k yuan borrowed as capital, feeling anxious and unconfident. Now, my account has reached eight figures. This achievement didn’t come from shortcuts or luck.

Over the years, I’ve tried long-term, short-term, ultra-short, and even intraday trading, crawling through countless pits and falling many times. In terms of skills, I wouldn’t call myself top-tier, but when it comes to understanding losses, I am far more thorough than most.

I’ve seen too many people in a bull market full of confidence, turning a few thousand into millions, only to wipe out everything overnight in a bear market. They’re not lacking technical knowledge; they fail because they can’t handle holding positions and are impatient. Profits from 100 successful trades often can’t compare to the drawdown from holding on through a loss; when they lose, they rush to recover, messing up their rhythm, and end up losing everything.

I’ve also had impulsive mistakes, but I’ve always stayed clear-headed: the market never moves according to personal wishes. Don’t let subjective judgments hijack the market. When wrong, cut losses promptly; never stubbornly hold on.

Trading isn’t about technical dominance; it’s about self-control, admitting mistakes, and following rules. Don’t treat blindly holding positions as faith—that’s just a gambler’s self-deception.

Now with assets in the millions, I don’t mean to show off. The real gain is embedding the simplest trading principles into my bones: admit defeat when wrong, always set stop-losses, don’t trade when restless, and step away when impatient.

In the trading world, opportunities are never scarce. The true path to profit is to stick to the rules. #加密市场行情震荡
