To be honest, this matter is really not that profound.
I finally learned not to mess things up.
I had two consecutive explosions before, and 4000 bucks disappeared in the blink of an eye. Those who understand know that feeling—staring at the remaining balance of 800 bucks, my hands are trembling. That previous attitude of "whatever, just do it first and talk later"? Completely gone.
I force myself to sit down and go through the records of every losing trade, one by one. The more I look, the colder my heart feels. That’s not trading; it’s clearly just gambling in a casino.
That day I told myself: no more gambling. Really.
The timing for entering the first ETH long position wasn't perfect, but at least the entry point wasn't off. With 3x leverage, I took action while others were still watching. Although I only made a small profit, it finally allowed me to catch my breath.
What really woke me up was the second wave - the short position on BNB.
That wave of decline was too smooth; I was even too lazy to increase my position halfway and just steadily profited to 3200. At that moment, I suddenly realized: is it possible to make money without crazy operations?
Later that day, the manipulation to push up BTC was too obvious. I had been watching it for a few hours in advance, building my short position in batches, and rode it all the way down to 6000. That sense of smoothness was more satisfying than the account numbers themselves.
It was only after getting here that I realized one thing:
It's not that the market has become simpler; it's that I have stopped messing around.
I have learned to be in cash. I have learned to miss out. I have also learned to treat each trade as part of a system, rather than a gamble on a "chance."
Now use a maximum of 70% position for each order, and set stop-loss and take-profit in advance. Once the order is opened, I won't interfere, let the market run by itself, and whatever can be gained is what it is.
The number 6000 actually means that the rhythm is right and the mindset is stable.
It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I've finally come to admit: what I learned from liquidation is far more than what I learned when making money.
Looking back now, 800 is indeed not a small amount. Whether you can turn things around doesn't depend on the size of your capital, but on whether you can learn something from the liquidation.
This is not some exclusive secret. When someone asks, I just speak the truth:
If you don't understand it before, never go all in.
Otherwise, if you come to this market, you're not making money, you're sending money to others.

Get Liquidated is the best teacher, more heart-wrenching than any tutorial.

Really, having the right mindset means you've already won half the battle.

Understood, this is the mindset that has come over.
Indeed, getting liquidated teaches more than making money.
Listen, don't all in; this phrase should be engraved in your mind.
It's most dangerous when your hands are shaking, really.
6000 isn't based on luck, it's about not messing around.
Someone asked me how 800 yuan can turn into 6000?
